IS THE HUGEST TRUST
Chambers Complaint to Presi-
dent Cleveland.
MADE A POOLING AGREEMENT
One Earnest Word From the Omnipoient
Banker Friend Will Paralyze
the Iniquity.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Chand-
Ter has written the following letter to
the president:
Washington, Nov. %. 1S95.-To the
President: 1 make complaint to you,
and through you to your interstate
commerce commission, against the
trust and pooling agreement, now near
ly finished, of the eight American rail-
road trunk lines and the one Canadian
line of pooling the traffic between New
York city and Chicago. The agreement
provides that every railroad in the COM
bination shall make and maintain the
transportation rates prescribed by a
board of managers representing all the
roads.
This is a conspiracy in restraint of
trade and commerce, under the act of
July 2, 1890. The agreement also makes
certain that all competition shall be
abolished as above required by impos-
ing heavy fines upon any offending
road, which fines are applied for the
benefit of the other roads. This is a
division of earnings contrary to sec
ton of the interstate commerce law.
This trust and pooling agreement can
bt PiONiQNu Wy tAPiiNis
existing laws of the United States
first by injunction from the courts
second by an order of the interstate
commerce commission; or, third, by on
indictment of the individuals signing
the same.
1t can also be easily stopped by a
vigorous appeal from you to j. Pierpont
Morgan, whose power over the nine
governors of the nine trunk lines is as
absolute as it was over the bond syn
| dicate. 1t can not be possible you in
| tend to take upon your administration
the responsibility of fastening upor
your burdened and helpless people thi'
the hugest trust the world ever saw o.
that was ever conceived of, when on
earnest word from your fresh attorne.

your commission, or your omnipoten
banker friend will paralyze the iniquit.

THE GROCERS ORGANIZE
North Pacific Coast Association
Formed at Portland.
IT'S OBJECTS ARE LEGITIMATE
Officers Elected for the Ensuing Year,
and Banquet Wound Up the
Proceedings.

Portland. Or, Nov 23.-Representa-
tive wholesale grocers of Seattle, Ia
coma, Spokane and Portland met here
today and formed the North Pacific
Coast Wholesale Grocers' Association.
For some time there has been a sim
liar association composed wholly of
Puget sound wholesale grocers, and the
success of that organization suggested
the formation of a combination which
should include the principal cities Of
Oregon and Washington.
The purpose of the North Pacific
Coast Association is not to collect bad
debts or anything OF that character.
but Is for the establishment of better
relations with exporting firms, the
equalization of values and better
knowledge of the retail trade. Har-
mony among the coast wholesalers can
better be preserved by mutual under
standing, as one of the delegates said
in a speech before the convention.
The following officers were elected:
President c. III. Lewis of Portland; vice
president, e. c. Neufelder of Seattle;
treasurer, Isador Lang OF Portland;
secretary, r. l.. Sabin of Portland;
board of directors G. II. Lewis, Isador
Lang, s. Katz of Spokane. w. d. Plant
l.. Webb and E. c. Neufelder of Seattle.
The convention concluded all it's bus
mess today and the proceedings wound
up with a banquet tonight at the Hotel
Portland.

European Conference lndispensi-
Bile to Its Settlement
THE STATESMEN ARE UNEASY
Fighting Between Turkish Troops and
the Christians of the Island
of Crete.

London, Nov. PA dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says the
opinion prevails in diplomatic circles
that an European conference Is indis-
pensable for the settlement of the Turk
ish question, for although the powers
have agreed, this agreement can not
be changed into action for fear of draw
ing Europe into dangerous eastern sit
uation.
The winter SHOWS will keep the Asiat-
ic provinces quiet. but something must
be done before springtime revives the
excitement and Macedonia is brought
into the movement.
Consuls estimate the loss of property
as a result of Diarbekir riots alone at
$2.000,000.
General alarm continues, despite re-
assuring reports from the provinces and
the wealthy Armenians sleep at the ho-
tells in preference to remaining at their
homes.
A batch of official dispatches have
been published representing that order
has been restored everywhere except at
Sivas. owing to the measures which the
government had adopted.
1t is officially announced that several
of the notables and persons in authority
at Erzeroum have apologized to Shakir
Pasha for the disorders provoked at
that town by Armenian revolutionists.

He says the expenses to delegates going
to that city would be s1,250O00 more
than it would were the convention held
east of the Rockies. Besides, he says,

delegates of the Pacific coast at the
great expense of 720 delegates in the
central and western parts of the United
States He therefore suggests that in
case the committee should select San
Francisco the delegates in all the states
should meet in their respective states
and veto the action of the committee by
selecting some suitable place for the
convention.
