as to render such attendance mex
pedient, impracticable or unnecessary"
The penalty for violation of the act is
fixed at a fine of from So to $40. Truant
officers for the enforcement Of the act

troduced in the House next week and

The Harvester Combine Goes to Pieces In

The Harvester Combine Goes to Pieces in
Its Infancy.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 9-The Harvester
Trust has gone to pieces, and before
very long the American Harvester Com
pany will be thing of the past.
1t was only couple of months ago
that the great combine was brought in
to existence with capital of $50, 900, 900.
Things went swimming for awhile,
and arrangements were in progress
for dispensing with thousands of
travelling men and other employees, and
of centralizing the business. This week
the representatives of the firms in the
combine came together at the Audi
forum Hotel, when it was developed
that the majority of the directors had
mapped OUT line of policy by which
prices to the farmers were to be ma
terially raised and the supply houses
consolidated.
There was vigorous remonstrance to
this course on the part of the McCor-
micks, the Deerings, the Whitman
Barnes concern, and the Ohio house of
Warder, Bushnell & Glessner, and after
stormy meeting of several hours
duration they withdrew. This morn
ing the firms named served notice of
their withdrawal from the company.
1t is given out that war to the knife
between the different concerns is now
inevitable. There will be increased
production and low prices, and the farm
er will get the benefit.
Late this afternoon President Nc
Cormick furnished the Associated
Press the following statement:
''The American Harvester Company,
after securing the opinion of eminent
counsel from different states, has been
brought face to face with grave legal OBJ
stacles to the contamination of the en-

are of such a character that after the
most serious and careful considerations
the conclusion has been reached
that the whole undertaking must be
abandoned. In doing so it is but adopt

ted in advising. 1t believes that in thus

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. I'm the suit of
James A. Murphy, proprietor of a big
b lcket-shop, against the Board of Trade
o Chicago, the Western Union Tele-
aph Company and the Gold and Stock
Telegraph Company, Judge Tuley
entered decree this morning dismiss
ing the litigation as to the Board and
striking the bill from the docket as to
the other defendants.
This was one of the cases for injunc-
ton to restrain defendants from with
holding market quotations, in which the
court held that the Board could not
monopolize market reports, and en-
joined it from doing.
To-day's action was taken on the
strength of a plea by the defendants
that on March 81 last the Board of
Trade had abolished the collection and
distribution of market reports entirely.
This finally settles the matter, as the
only prayer of the petitioners was for
relief from discrimination.

Should general dullness ensue, the COM
bine will operate as many factories as
are necessary to fill the nineteen. Each
factory will be assessed for general ex-
penses, and the profits will be divided
in proportion to the size of the factories.
No outside working capital will be in the
deal. The number of hands employed
in the nineteen factories is over 5000,
and the total weekly pay roll is $780, 900.
