Queens, increased from 6,22O to L..

thirty years was at the rate of 435 per

COUNTER TRUST STARTED.
implement Men at Des Moines Will
Not Submit to Trust.

Des Moines, Dec. with only ono
dissenting vote the Iowa Implement
dealers adopted a resolution in which
they declared they would not sign the
contracts f the International Harvest
ing Machine company unless changes
be made in favor of the local dealer.
This action followed closely the adop-
ton of the recommendations of the
National Federation which were de-
mand for uniform retail prices to local
agents; an increase of the commission
to local agents so as to give them suf-
ficient remuneration to encourage
their best efforts to secure business
and to reduce the use of canvassers
sent out by the manufacturer; and the
granting to each dealer of a definite
territory sufficiently large to discour7
age the agency of persons not regular
ly in the business
A resolution was reported from the
harvesters' committee that the recon-;
mendation of the National Federation,
be adopted and it was done with but
little discussion.
