merce Commission, which meets here to-

Disseminated against in not having the
privilege in not having an export rate in
grain product in proper proportion with
rates applying TO Minneapolis. Another
complaint Is one Of the Central Millers' As
ISOLATION. which represents the millers of
Wisconsin,, Michigan, Illinois. Indiana and
Tennessee, is that the railroads are hauling
wheat for export from original points Of
shipment TO ocean ports at much lower pro-
portionate rates than are charged on wheat
received by millers In the territory repre-
Sented by the association The railroads
assert that the controversy in question hav-
ing originated from grain rates made by
Atlantic ocean lines. the Interstate-com-
merce Commission has no authority to regu-
late the matter. They threaten that II the
commission rules against them they will
carry the matter into the United States

Strike Spreading Mt Buffalo.

BUFFALO, June 1.-THE strike of the
freight handlers at the Erie docks for an
advance of / cent an hour in wages was
considered at a meeting Of the freight ham
dlers' union this afternoon and a sympa-
thetic strike of inside workers. or house
men, in all Of the freight houses was or
dered. None of these men will report for
duty in the morning. About 1000 men have
been called out, and this will virtually
throw twice as many more out of work, as
the outside workers will refuse to carry
freight into the houses, and, should nom
union men be employed for inside work, the
outside men will quit. From present ap-
pearances a general tie-up, as far as freight
boats are concerned, is certain for the time
being. The railroad companies and con-
tractors say they will not grant the de-
hands of the men and the latter are equally
the advance.

R A PIPE DREAM.
The Way Chicago Look at
the Alleged Trust.

CHICAGO. June Hilary Rubens. who
is attorney for many of the brewery inter-
ests in Chicago. discredits the report of the
proposed formation of a trust with a cap
ital Of one billion dollars to secure control
of all Of the breweries in the United States.
which was published in d dispatch from
Indianapolis. "Such a trust is not only not
practicable but is not possible" said Mr..
Rubens. II cannot imagine a more absurd
report having for it's basis a business en-
terprise. The brewery business depends Upon
the good will of the people to a large ex-
tent to prosper. SyndicateS have been
formed to operate several breweries in diff
ferent cities, but that is about as far as
any trust proposition Is able to go. The
endeavor to get a trust on all beer pro-
duced would be like trying to pump the
ocean dry"
A member of the K. G.. Schmidt Brewing
Company said he looked upon the reported
trust as a visionary scheme, and other
brewers expressed themselves In a similar
strain.

state Supervision Of Trusts.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

The Indiana Supreme Court has decided
In a case arising out of a combination OK
two gas companies to fix prices Of natural
gas to consumers that such a combination
was an abuse of their corporate powers for
which their franchises may be declared for
feited. The court holds that corporations
are authorized by the State for the benefit
OF the people, and whenever they enter
into combinations to limit the products
which they make or handle, or fix a price
which shall be common TO both, or in any
way by combining one with another initiate
against the interests of the people. they are
not living up TO their corporate privileges
but are abusing them, and may be COM
PEELED by law to forfeit them"
This is a simple application of the prfn-
ciple of the common Law. In order TO reach
corporations holding charters from other
States a law has been enacted In North
Carolina which compels foreign corpora
lions seeking to do business in that State to
take out North Carolina charters. thus
bringing such companies within the range
OF State supervision. When the State au-
thorities shall seriously address themselves
to the task OF protecting private interests
against a form OF organized plumber IL may
be found that the power of the State v ade-
duate to deal with the trusts.

THE PEACE
Permanent Arbitration bun OPP
posed by German Delegates.

THE HAGUE, June 11.-An authoritative
contradiction is given TO the report that
there is grave danger of the arbitration
scheme failing. 1t is pointed out that, al
though Germany may hesitate TO recognize
the principle, she has not yet raised any
actual objections during the discussion.
LONDON, June 12-The correspondent Of
the Daily News al The Hague says: 81
learn that DR.. Zorn. the German delegate,
spoke on Friday against arbitration. When
I asked him for a copy of his speech I got a
point blank refusal. DR.. Zorn saying: All 1
can tell you is that Fridays sitting was ex-
tremely interesting and that / presented
Germany's objections to the scheme for a
permanent arbitration tribunal. Notwith-
standing this. / am able to send a full analy-
sis of his speech. He spoke slowly and with
difficulty in French. He asserted that he
was instructed to say that Germany could
not accept the principle Of permanent ar
bitration embodied in Sir Julian Paunce-
Totes draft. She objected. firstly. on princi-
pie. and, secondly, on grounds of expediency.
He then proceeded TO argue that 1t was de-
rogatory to a monarch's sovereignty and to
a nations independence. Arbitration agreed
upon between two nations for a narrowly
defined object was one thing, and arbitration
binding a nation for the unknowable future
was quite another. A king. holding his title
by divine right. could not think of divesting
himself of an essential part Of his SOver-
eighty, the right to shape the nations course
at a critical time"
Emperor William" DR.. Zorn said, would
not pledge himself to bow TO the decisions
of judges not appointed by him on cases
that had not arisen. These were the OBJ
~jections OF principle. The objections of
expediency were on the score OF expense
and the possibility that the tribunal, under
the rendering of inquitious decisions, might
bring the principle of arbitration into dis
credit. DIR. Zorn concluded his speech
amid painful silence.
Sir Julian Pauncefote. replying. said he
thought the objections of the German dele
gate showed a view of statecraft which
many might consider not altogether modern.
LAS to the doubts expressed regarding
the fitness of the judges. / have no
doubt" said Sir Julian, that every state
would take pride in nominating its best
men.
Il understand that DR.. Zorn's Instructions
were sent under a misapprehension, as some
OF his objections would only apply to the
older schemes superseded by the British
draft
The correspondent of the Morning Post at
The Hague asserted that at last Fridays
meeting Dr. Zorn opposed the arbitration
scheme, but adds that negotiations are pro-
ceeding between The Hague and Berlin.
