JoBBERS TO ENTER PROTEST
Large Delegation VIII Attend Meet
ing of Western General
Passenger Agents.

The Western Association of General Pas
senger Agents will hold its session at Hot
Springs, Ark, March 5, and a large num-
Der of the jobbers of Omaha and towns on
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers are
making arrangements to be present to pro-
test against the change in the excess bag
gage rates. These rates were to have
gone into effect March l, but their effective
ness was postponed one month in order to
permit the jobbers to show cause why they
should not be enforced. It is expected that
at the meeting there will be at least $50
jobbers from Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas
City, st. Paul, Minneapolis and other west
ern cities, each loaded with arguments as
to why the rate should not be changed.
Said an Omaha jobber: IF this new rate
is enforced ii will cause the establishment
of a hack line parallellng every railroad line
in the west. The new rate is excessive only
as 1t applies to short distances. and the
towns are so close together In Iowa, Ne
braska and the neighboring states tina. by
a little judicious division of time a man
can make two or more of them in a day.
He can drive the six or seven miles inter
vening and carry his sample cases cheaper
than he can carry them by train II the new
rates are enforced. and this will certainly
be lone by those houses which carry large
lines OF samples"

FOOD PROTECTION
The Circuit Court of the United States
Decides in Favor of the
In-er-seaI Package.

A decision far-reaching in its effect and
of interest to all lovers Of pure food. has
just been handed down by Judge Adams in
the circuit court Of the United States.
The suit in question was brought against
the Union Biscuit company for infringement
on the in-er-seal package, controlled ex-
clusively by the National Biscuit company,
for the protection OF biscuit and crackers
against dust. moisture, odor and germs.
In deciding against the Union Biscuit
company Judge Adams says:
THE proof abundantly shows that prior
to the invention Of the patent the old paper
cartons or boxes we're inadequate to the de-
mands of the service required OF them; that
their contents deteriorated rapidly in sub
stance and flavor; that they we're subjected
to the baneful effects OF the air, moisture
and dust. Since the introduction OF the box
of the patent a radical change has taken
place. This box has been found equal to
the climatic and other local conditions in all
parts of the country, from New Orleans to
New York, from Florida to Minnesota and
from California to Massachusetts, The uni
form testimony from all these regions is to
the effect that the contents of the box are
preserved in their original freshness and
flavor.
THE whole testimony in my opinion
clearly shows that the box OF the patent
materially facilitates the distribution Of in
expensive food products to the consumer
and at the same time lessons the cost and
enhances the intrinsic value of such prod
ucts.'
Judge Adams full decision against the in
f%ringement not only shows the great i'm
portance of the in-er-seal package. but is
so broad and conclusive as to prevent any
further violation of the rights of the Ma
tional Biscuit company.
