The Word LOBBY

"Lohhy,' that word so often
seen i'll newspapers in the season
of Legislative sessions, has such an
air of newness about it one might
suppose it WAS coined expressly to
denominute the ''third house."
The case is far otherwise, for its
origin is monas'ic, according to
the latest part Of the ''Oxford
Dictionary" 1t occurs in 1853, i'll
Becon's Roliqnes Of Rome" The
dictionary defines the word then,
with Il query, Us "a covered walk,
cloister in a monastery" In this

first use of "lobby" as Il verb, and
in its later political sense. 1t is &c

LABOR TRAFFIC RATES
Three Twin City Lines Make Rates to
Points South. -

FONTS south. .@s'-
The Great Western, the Omaha and the
Wisconsin, Central roads. have made labor
traffic rates of IS O5 for parties Of ten or
more on one ticket, and Of Sc for more
than fifty. The Central filed it's schedule
last week, but the Great Western and
Omaha did not issue rate circulars until
yesterday. The Burlington and the Mil
waukee are waiting for instructions.
The rate is made for the benefit of labor
parties from the twin cities for southern
roads. Formerly the excursions for such
roads were from Chicago, but for two
weeks southern agents have been seeking
men in the north for work in Illinois, In
diana and Ohio. .-,. ,..>-.. =
Two weeks ago the southern and east
ern lines made their first recruiting ex .
petition to the twin cities, when the Wa
bash awarded a grading contract to the
Winston company of Minneapolis. Rail-
road labor was so scarce in Chicago that
the Winstons were obliged to ship men
from Minneapolis and st. Paul. The COM
pany applied 70 the Wisconsin Central for
a special rate and was granted the new
rate. Other contractors, working south
and east Of Chicago, then entered the
northwest field to secure labor and appli-
cation was made to the WesternsPa assem-
ger association to adopt labor sched-
ule. No action was taken by the asso-
citation, and yesterday the Omaha and
Great Western followed the Wisconsin
Central lead and announced an $8.05 and
Sc rate. .""E. -- =
The question of establishing a. labor rate
for all the Chicago roads will probably be
settled at the meeting of the Western

ton, it is expected that the roads run

the same rate as published yesterday.

ALL NAY HAVE CARS
Ruling Affecting Illinois Grain Ship
pers by the Illinois Railroad
Commission.
Roads Must Not Discriminate in Fur

ticular Point.

Springfield ILL.,, April "a decision adj
verse to the Illinois Central railroad and
at the same time criticizing the boycott
established by the Illinois Grain Dealers
association was handed down yesterday
by the railroad and warehouse commits
sion in the complaint made against the
Illinois Central by D.. E. Currey & Co.,,
elevator operators at Mason City, Ill.
Curry & Co. some time ago charged
that the Illinois Central railroad discrim-
mated against them in the distribution
Of grain cars at Mason City. In the re-
ply the Illinois Central railroad charged
that the Illinois Grain Dealers associa-
ton. in which Curry & Co. hold mem
bership, had in operation a boycott
against the Farmers Independent eleva-
tors. The railroad and warehouse COM
mission is of the opinion that the boycott
alleged by the railroad company actually
existed, and in passing upon the case
says it is led to believe that an under
standing existed between Curry &: Co.
and the members of the Illinois Grain
Dealers association that the members
Of the association were not to handle the
grain of the Farmers elevators, and that
Curry was willing that anything should
be done, to prevent the Farmers Grain

all other persons who desire to ship

terpreted the law to mean that cars shall
be distributed equally to elevators upon
it's tracks, but the commission views, the
contention differently and gives diff
ferent Interpretation. In part, the de-
cision says: g--.s. ~ .r# +.
Where persons apply for cars to ship
grain, it makes no difference whether
they are buyers or farmers desiring to-
ship their own grain, they are entitled
| to the same rights with reference to the
receipt Of cars. The commission thinks
| that the rule should be that where ele-
vators are situated along different lines
of railroads at junction points that in
| the distribution Of cars each railroad
! should take into consideration the num-
Der Of cars furnished to the elevator on
the other line Of road by the railroad on
whose line such elevator is situated. as
we'll as the number of cars furnished to
such elevator by their road, and should
\ distribute the cars equally, according to
the whole number Of cars received by all
| the roads received at such point, in ac-
cordance with the amount Of grain to be
shipped by the different shippers. This,
I the commission finds to be the custom at
many junction points within the state
and in the opinion of the members, it is
the proper rule, ~ - -
