Farmera Will Hold Their Products Until Proper Price It Paid. Omaha, Neb., June 7. Tbe 200 delegatet called into convention by the American Society of Equity yes terday practically completed the or ganization of the most formidable combine ever attempted for the pur pose of controlling the prlcea of grain, to be known at tbe Graln groweri' Department of the Ameri can Society of Equity. It adopted a constitution and tet ot by-lawt which plainly indicated Itt object!. They ttate in ao many wordt that tbe purpose of the organ ization it to control distribution and name a minimum price at which itt members may dltpote of their farm grain producta, which are enumer ated aa being anything from wheat to broomcorn. The matter of fiuancea haa not been overlooked, and the organiza tion makei a pledge to ita membert hereby they may borrow money In any reasonable turn, which may be secured by their holdings of grain while It remains In a granary or ele vator. , It was announced to tbe meeting that over 500 banks had pledged themselves to make loans to the members of the association when en dorsements were made by properly accredited officials. The convention made Itself felt in the niaUer of pol itics during the day, e'hen Charles Walsh, of Ottumwa, la., a former secretary of the Democratic National Committee and at thla time an or ganizer of Independence League Clubs for Hearst, was given plainly to understand that hla presence In the capacity ot an organizer waa not required. Mr. Walsh dropped Into tbe city Tuesday, and it waa stated that be would endeavor to get hla prop ganda before tbe convention. This idea waa quietly but promptly sat down on. Many of the delegates did not know of his presence at the con ventlon until after he had left th city yesterday afternoon. With each committee report came revelation. When the finance commltteee reported It waa to the ef fect that all convention expenses bad been arranged for and that a good fund was In sight for the field work wblch Is to begin at once. Chairman Pauley of that committee and three other members, an bankers, were unanimoua in a sttaement that 535 banka over the country were ready furnish all the money necessary to carry out the objects ot the asso ciation. The ulan Is to make low rate loana to farmers on their grain after it Is threshed and hold It in society gran ries and elevatora until the price demanded is available. The plar Iso contemplates a European agency for shipping grain direct to European markets. A committee on crop intelligence reported a plan whereby all Informa tion la to be withheld until it is called for by the association statis tician. A partial crop report was made tu the convention. In which It was stated that wheat in Oklahoma Kansas. Nebraska. Minnesota and the Dakotas would average below 70 per cent of last year a crop. BALLOONIST'S CLOSE CALL.
