REPORT ON FREIGHT RATES.
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION FILES
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT.
"ePort covers s31 Printed Pages.
mostly of Evidence Taken-No
Recommendation Made Yet, but
Some differences Are Drawn.

WASHINGTON, NAV 1.-THE indus
ulai commission today made a prelini-
nary report to congress on the subject
VI transportation. The commission states
that owing to the incompleteness Of its
inquiry. the commission Is not prepared
at present to make recommendations to
congress or to the state legislatures, but
contehplates the making of such recon-
mendations hereafter"
Ihe report made today covers Ss1 pages
OF printed matter. the larger part Of
which is the testimony that has been
taken on the subject of transportation
In review of the evidence the COM
mission says:
While detailed and specific statements
as TO the conditions OF labor and traffic
nave not usually been sought. many gen.
eral statements as TO these conditions
nave been obtained. and although there
is OF course, not a little difference of
opinion. conclusions as to facts emerge
with clearness from the testimony Nat
urally there is even greater difference
OF Judgmnt as to needed legislation. but
mere again 1t is possible to gather some
Iair conclusions concerning the prepon-
derance of opinion among the most in
terested on some of the important mat
tiers now before the people"
On the question of determinations be-
tween individuals the report SAYS the
general concensus of opinion among wit
nesses is that the railways still make
them, and perhaps to as great an extent
as ever before.
They also say that the evidence 70
clear that the great terminal elevators
IN chicago and, to a less extent, in other
grain markets, are owned by compare
lively few persons; that the owners of
the public elevators also cannot get pri-
vate elevators; that they themselves buy
large proportion OF the grain which
goes INTO public elevators. and that the
business of handling grain on commission
has been very greatly reduced by this
practice. 1t is also claimed that these
men own most OF the country elevators
Ihe commission concludes on this point:
In view OF the quite general acknowl-
edgement among railway men that dis
elimination in favor OF large shippers Is
still conspicuous, there seems to be a
considerable probability that the claim
that these large elevators receive favors
from the railroads In one way or an
other has some basis"
On the question of grain rates and sour
shipments IL Is stated that the evidence
seems conclusive that the effect of dis
elimination has already been disastrous
TO our milling interest. and that probably
even with the difference in rates reduced
as already shown, it will continue to be
injurious"
Other questions discussed are:
Discrimination between places. pooI-
Ing, freight classification, railway con-
solidation and capitalization, govern
ment ownership, taxes. wages, labor or
CARNATIONS. etc The conclusion Is reach
ed with reference to the powers Of the
interstate commerce commission that they
are more limited than was intended by
the trainers Of the interstate commerce
law.

The principal object sought was TO

not look favorably upon the contention

DEATH OF MISS SCHNEIDER
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL WHO
LIVED AT THE BRANCH

Miss Nettie Schneider, daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. Anton Schneider of Branch
died of consumption Friday morning at
the age of twenly-one. Her parents,
five b-others and six sisters survive her.
Burial took place Sunday afternoon IN
the village cemetery. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Johnson OF
ManitOwoc.
Miss Schneider had been i'll almost a
year She spent two months last WIN
fer in New Mexico in the vain attempt
To regain her health, and returned to
her home early this summer to die
Miss Schneider was young lady OF
charming personality, a favorite win
the villagers Her popularity, however,
extended far beyond the boundaries OF
the Branch into Manitowoc and other
cities and towns of the state. her death
is deeply felt by her friends because OF
her winsomeness and naturalness, and
very apparent gap is made in the com
munity by her demise. Her death was
not unexpected, but it was peaceful As
William Cullen Bryant said, She drew
the draperies of her couch about her and
laid down to pleasant dreams.
