President Eckhart declared that the
federation was not combination for the
control of prices, but for the purpose Of
furthering mutual interests and correct
ing abuses which he said had grown up
during the past twenty years
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the
legislative movements TO give the inter
state commerce commission authority to
enforce its rulings and to correct the ac-
ton Of ocean steamship companies and
railroads in the alleged discrimination in
freight rates against -four in favor OF
wheat. The Nelson amendment TO the
Harter act in reference to the London
landing clause to prevent the steamship
companies from discriminating against
American -four was endorsed. Mr.. Eek
hart explained that American -four had
to pay an unjustly high dockage rate at
the Londn wharfs. In his address Pres
ident Eckhart declared that the new fed
Grafton should endeavor to extend the
-four markets by diplomatic commercial
reciprocity treaties or otherwise.

Republican conference would have enough

without the assistance OF any Democratic
votes. This is directly contrary 10 The
generally understood situation in the com

As a result Of numerous conferences to-
day among Republican leaders OF the
house, the advocates OF Cuban reciprocity
became confident late in the day that the
measure could be reported from the ways
and means committee by Republican
votes without reliance upon Democratic
votes and without amendment. This Yves
a reversal of conditions supposed to exist
earlier in the day when the friends of
Cuban reciprocity were said TO be one
vote short Of the necessary number 10 re-
s.st amendments and TO report the bill.
In view OF the changed conditions Chair
man Payne has Under consideration tho
