FARMERS TO CORNER WHEAT.
A Gigantic Union 10 Maintain Prices Of

Chicago. Dec. 3.-Eight million far
nlers of the United States are to be
Joined in a gigantic union to control
the price Of grain by placing 1t on the
market only as needed, according to
plans formulated by delegates now as
sembled here from different parts OF
the west. It Is the desire OF c. z.
Jackson. Minnesota delegate. that Il
thorough organization of the western
grain growers should be first secured
and then the invitation extended to the
farmers OF all America to enter into
the union and protect themselves
against the Juggling OF prices by mid :
dlemen at present the only ones to
realize great profits.
Mr.. Jackson's plan seems to meet
the approval Of all in attendance aud
will doubtless be adopted.
All the farmers of Minnesota.
said Mr.. Jackson, are heartily in
favor Of movement that will protect
them from the existing condition of
being forced to sell their product for
what they can get for 1t. Minnesota
tillers OF the soil think they ought to
have some say as to what their prod

trouble Hes in national organization
that will enable the farmers not to
force supplies on the market faster
than 1t can absorb them and not to
sell any faster than the consumer
needs them"
The meeting Is Of the advisory board
appointed In October at the farmers
convention. Robert Lindblom, pres
ident of the Farmers National Co
operative Exchange Company, outlined
the plan of the new organization.
Fifty million dollars a year" said
he, ARE paid to mtddlemen for stor-
age and commission. Farmers should
consolidate, do away with the middle
men and secure equitable prices for
their products Organizations should
be formed in every township. county
and state. No one could resist such
a powerful organization"

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Dec. 3.-The Iowa 1mple-
ment Dealers Association convention
here devoted last nights session to the
big harvester trust, the committee on
the harvester and thresher business
making its report. There was warm
discussion of ways and means to meet
the efforts of the big trust to cut down
the commissions and profits OF the
dealers. The proceedings OF this ses-
sion were kept secret ana members re-
fused to talk about it but 1t is known
that the trust Is to be met at every
turn by trust of implement dealers
in Iowa. The members of the associa-
ton are bound to hang together and to
act in conjunction, for they believe
firmly that their only hope of getting a
fair share OF profits from harvester
sales lies In such combination and CO.
operation.
There Is to be no antagonlsm to the
trust. however. AS one delegate ex-
pressed it, .rhe association Is not
against the combine; 1t simply wants
10 make the best deal possible with 1t.
The trust will not be allowed to single
out dealers individually and force this
or that agree ment upon them; 1t must
deal with the association as a whole.
and the terms that the associations
committee gets will be rhe terms that
al. individual members will get. Such
combination was made necessary by
the attitude of the trust toward indi-
yidual dealers Immediately after its orr
ganization. 1t sought al once to Gu:
down commissions on sales and profits
on repairs: individual members were
unable to cope with the situation, but
the association took 1t up and 1t has
been able to get terms that were IA
vorable.'
At the morning session mutual In
surnnce was discussed. and sentiment
developed in favor Of the Iowa asso-
citation furnishing all implement in
surance to Its members.
The afternoon was given up to visit
ing the immense Bettendorf Stee.

serious effect on east bound shipments

The trunk lines expected to lose the
export flour and grain business from
Kansas City and southwestern points,
feeling that they cannot compete for
1t with the gulf roads. They did not
expect, however that the Increase
would cause a diversion of the business
from Nebraska and northwestern
points. They have just discovered,
however. that this is going to be the
result, unless they join the Chicago

Minneapolis Unable to Compete.
The advance in the east bound rate
has made 1t practically impossible for
Minneapolis millers to compete with

can get a rate from Kansas City to the

pounds, while from Minneapolis to the
Atlantic seaboard the rate is about
double that amount From Missouri
river points the rate to New York is
still higher.

terror that the order issued by the
court last week in the Chippewa In
dian suit does not apply to the timber
sale set for next Saturday.
In a consultation held Wednesday

secretary's hands and that the mere
opening Of proposals does not obligate
the government to sell, but Is merely
u preliminary to sale. The secretary
can. and probably will, withhold ac-

Saturday until after the hearing on
the petition for an injunction set for
