WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Merchants and Shippers Organ
i2e a Union.
They Will Also Fight Railroad
Discrimination.
Tho Association Will Act Independently y
OF the Board Of Trade-It
Means Business.

The merchants OF Spokane Falls have
determined 10 do battle in earnest with
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in
regard to fright discrimination from
which they have % long suffered.
What will be known as the Merchants
Union has betn organized. The object Of
the Union Will be to secure mutual pro-
lection again't discrimination. and suit
will at once be entered against the rail-
road. While the organization is separate
and distinct from the board Of trade, IL
will work together with that body In this
matter. The board Of trade has also de-
termined to bring test suit, but while
the object to be attained and the interests
involved are the same, the action of the
Merchants Union will be independent.
The movement was started few DAYS
ago. The subjoined agreement was drawn
up and circulated, and signed by the fol-
lowing merchants Of the city:
We, the undersigned merchants, doing
business in Spokane Falls, hereby agree to
meet at the board OF trade rooms on the
evening Of Friday, February lst, for the
purpose OF taking steps to secure fair
bearing. etc., with regard to the discrimi-
nation against us in rates OF freight to this

A meeting was then called and held Fri.
day night at the rooms of the
board of trade. The merchants entered
into the movement with enthusiasm, and
those who signed the agreement but could
not attend declared that they would en-
dorse any action that might be determined
upon. The meeting was we'll attended,
however. The organization was formed
by the election of Frederick Furth, presi.
dent; s. Haas, vice'president; Z. A.
Routhe, secretary.
A. H. Clark, l.. T. Benham; F. H. Ma.
| son, b. Loewenberg and Mason Smith
were chosen as an executive committee.
It WAS then decided to bring te,t case
before the interstate commerce commits
sion to determine whether or not Spokane
Falls is disseminated against. A meet
ing will be held to.morro W evening TO make
arrangements for this purpose.
None but merchants and shippers can
become members Of the Union, A rssolu.
tion was passed requesting the co.opera,
tion OF all who have cause to complain oil
discrimination.
Mr.. Mason Smith who has taken great
interest in the matter said to q reporter
The Merchants Union is not organized
to bring this suit alone. 1t will be per
