Pleasant and the Union Holler Mill com- : oMnv of Falriew will be given another tearing, at a, time yet to be fixed, on 'he charge of violating the fiour regul tinns. The mills closed down as the result of the hearings are said to be among the lnrg-'st of the state, producing Hie bulk nf the flour milled in southern Utah. It is understood, however, that the closing of the five mills will not adversely affect af-fect the flour situation, as according to report s there is a t present a greater amount of flour on hand than can be shipped or consumed by the local trn.de. Cither mills, it is understood, prior to this time voluntarily have suspended op era tions because of lack of orders. Tb shipment of flour out of tho state Is almost al-most Impossible, according to M. H. Greene, representative of the United States grain corporation in Utah, and at the same time an embargo is In effect on wheat shipments to (.'hit-ago and other eastern mark el s and termina Is.
