between six and seven hundred peo

welcomed the visitors and D. w. Long
fellow, of Minneapolis, responded.
President Charles B. Ayers, in his
annual report discussed very vigorous
ly the question of private car lines
He said:
'We have instituted a fight against
one of the most nurelenting and un.
scrupulous monopolies of the age; a
corporation that terrorIzes the rail
roads of our land and even goes 50
far as to say to the interstate com
merce commission, Keep your hands
off us; you have no right to interfere
no matter what our transgressions may
be; we are outside the jurisdiction Oi
any court or commission; we are q
private car line, and will continue to
charge the limit we think the public
will stand, and if, perchance, you are
not satisfied to pay our toll for tha
privilege of living, you can let your
goods rot, as you must do business
with us or quit
This is what the Armour exclusive
contracts mean. The agitation of this
matter and the publicity the press o1
the land has given to the investigation
has startled the country and set think
ing men to ponder over the conditions
as they have been exposed"
Mr.. Ayers said the sympathy of the
interstate commerce commission was
with commission merchants but the
commission doubted their power to
give relief.
'"They can help us if they will
said Mr.. Ayers, "and they should BID
compelled to do so; sufficient pres
sure should be brought to bear on the
commission to convince them that we
are thoroughly in earnest, and it il
our intention to fight for right until
it prevails. If necessary to accom-
plish this, we must call to our aid
the growers of farm products every
where"
Mr.. Ayers highly extoIled<Presiden
Roosevelt.
I'm him." he said, I'VE have a man
with whom we can, with confidence
rest our cause, believing that soonef

to carry out that policy Of reform

New Orleans, La, Jan. 11.-Insur
ance companies which have placed pei
iCies on cotton in warehouses through
out the south are stated to have can

ties. In districts where the farm
ers have met and discussed the burn
ing of cotton as a means of raising
prices, insurance has been raised
