They are running full time and capacity but are unable to supply promptly the great order for flour given last month by the government, while orders for two months' ad ditional deliver) are expected to be awarded by the grain confutation within the next 24 hours. Fact that up to the last month the government did not take more than perhaps half of the flour offered on each contract by the Pacific North west millers caused many of tbem to offer ap proximately twice as much flour last month aa xitey really expected to be taken. Aa the gov ernment took practically everything that waa of fered, this put the millers in a hole, so to speak, and the result is that they have been working overtime to fill their allotments. This has taken a huge supply of wheat and remaining stocks held in the Pacific Northwert are comparatively small and will probably be fully cleaned up by the coming government con tract. The attitude of . Max H. Houser. second vice president of ibc Food Administration Grain cor poration In giving seme of the miller to under stand that profiteering upon th domestic public will be frowned upon by the government, was a ttop in the face to some that saw the chance lor making aom extra money.
