CUT IN CRACKER PRICES.
The Compact Of Companies ON
This Coast Broken.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 5.-The
cracker compact has been broken and
the big companies on this coast are at
war. About a year ago the Ameri
can Biscuit Company and Standard Bis
cult Company OF San Francisco and the
Portland Cracker Company of Portland,
Oregon, made an agreement to maintain
a uniform price upon all goods sold by
each. Recently it was claimed by the
local managers of the Portland Crack
er Company that the Standard Biscuit
Company failed to keep all of the con-
ditions Of the compact. Not being able
to settle the matter amicably, the Port
land Cracker Company inaugurated Il
war in prices, which now amounts to
a cut of 40 per cent. The losses of the
firms are estimated at $50, 900 month.
In Los Angeles the war is between the
Southern California Cracker Company
and the Portland Cracker Company. In
Portland the fight is between the Port
land Cracker Company and Bishop Il
Co., manufacturers of Los Angeles.

insist that the fast trains be given up,
or that they be granted a differential of
s. in the rates between Chicago and
