Jamestown North Dakota March 20 representatives of the state rail commission told the North Dakota Independent Elevators association that complaints under the states anti discrimination law in wheat buying are down. The convention re elected P A Lee Pekin as president and S W Ankenholz as secretary.

Condemnation of barley handling was voted with the remark that if barley terminals persist there is little use growing barley beyond hog feed.
