Tho Rebate Evil Again exposed.

Evening Wisconsin:
| A revelation Of interest to the Cal
| ifornia fruit trade has been made in
| New York ms II result of quarreling
over proceeds among the members of
defunct ruit-handling corporation.
| One Of the former officers of the
company, who was the manager OF
its operations in New York city, has
made n demand upon the former
president of the concern for 5000 600,
which he claims is his share of the
rebates received by the corporations
from what is known as the Refrige-
ator Car Combinations. Merchants
engaged in the fruit trade in New
York city have called the attention
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
ion to this demand. with the view of
having the entire question of rebates
Investigated.
These compliments declare that
80 long rs such rebates are allowed
1t Will be impossible for such mer-
chants who are not similarly favored
to complete with those who receive
the concessions, as the rebates repre-
sent large share OF profit on each
car load of fruit. 1t is charged that
the rebates in question were given
by the combination, but that the
Southern Pacific railway became a
party to the discrimination through
Its refusal to permit cars not owned
by the combination to use its tracks
on equal terms.
The giving ofrebates on California
fruit has been an evil to the entire
trade, and now that those are charged
with promoting it are brought to the
front, it is likely that the matter will
be sifted to the bottom. The presi-
dent of the defunct New York fruit
corporation upon whom the illumi-
mating demand for an accounting
has been made, testified in bankrupt
cy proceedings in Chicago that he
received from the Fruit Growers Elk
press Company rebates aggregating
Sl,s00000 This confession is causing
the referee in BANKRUPTCY TO look for
further information in regard to the
matter from the financial hackers of
the express company, who must know
all about the sources from which
they received returns upon their in
vestments.
The Llkius law enacted in Febru-
airy last is clear in its prohibition of
the granting of rebates, and in its
provision for the punishment of
those who are found guilty of such
collision. 1t will therefore be inter.
esting to note the result of what are
practically confessions of culprits in
the ey es of the law. If the law is
properly administered the result of
the inquiry into the evil of rebates
on California fruits ought to be
wholesome.

The fact is that, when the last leg
