present were at first a little scary about
going into II, but we finally got together
on these lines"
In concluding his tale Of the efforts
of himself and others Of the governing

used to accomplish the object in view, he
said:

talk to each other when they met. where
they would not sit on each others doorstep

and sometimes we did not"
Mr.. worrall told how the ASSOCIATION,
through himself and some other members,
had paid one man S1,7OO more than his
plant was worth to "allay a disturbance"
by getting him out Of the field.
OF the groups Of counties forming dis
tricts, he said they were gotten up for
convenience and so that only the men
in any given group need be called to a
meeting when a disturbance arose; that
is, when some obstreperous person vio-
lated the card price.
Mr.. worrall told of one momentous meet
ing Of the association following the legisa-
tive session Of 1903.
1--WE decided that we must keep the farm
ers' organizations out OF the field by one
means or another, as circumstances de-
manded; at some places by undertaking
and at others by agreements with the
railroads.
How II Was Worked.
III bunch Of them made application
for a site on the right-of-way the rail-
road officials would postpone the action
for say sixty days. Then the decision
would be further put OF three months 10

object was to block the game"
All the attorneys seemed to understand
Just what this meant. A quiet smile went
around the table and Mr.. Worrall contin-
ued to smoke and smile in a retrospective
way himself. .
In answer to questions specific as to
names, the witness gave long list OF
companies and individuals who made the
price cards for the different districts.
These were located in Omaha and at many
other points throughout the state. This
was following 1902, when GENERALIZATION was
effected in the lead pipe fashion.
WorraIl went over the matter OF division
OF grain and how this was brought about
by the man who had more than his
share lowering his price until the others
caught up on quantity, when he would
again get in the game.
Witness said all the real business was
done at the district meetings. which were

"At st. Edward p. d. Smith owned 1000
acres OF land and built an elevator not only
to handle his own grain. but also what he
could buy At first Smith would not listen
to overtures from the line companies. tell
ing me to go plum to HI A boosting of
prices and scarcity OF cars forced him into
line. but he was allowed to handle $1,000
bushels OF his owr crop without penalty.
AT Madison j. B. Hume was a lumber.
grain and coal dealer OF long standing and
high financial credit. He was getting about
all the grain and. being a Scotchman, stood
stoutly for his rights an independent
buyer. The railroad freight agents had to
be called in and a coercive district meet
ing held before Hume was tanned. but
finally. when another local firm butted into
the field, he was shown the right path. To
the end he refused to pay money penalty,
giving instead full cars OF grain to even up
receipts with his competitors"
Like instances were given of campaigns
against local buyers at Humphrey, Fuller
ton and a dozen other places. All contests
ended practically the same-in the local
buyers having 10 'knuckle down" or go
out OF business.
THE only persons we could not control"
said the witness, were the farmers. They
would go where they pleased and sell to
whom they pleased. but we got our share OF
the grain in the end
In answer to a question touching his ex-
perience as a grain buyer at Beatrice, Mr.
Peavey said:
Beatrice is the one point in the state
that never has had an agreement" But
he told OF several experiences In the coun-
try contiguous to Beatrice which indicated
that agreements have crept up pretty close
to that town.

years for burglary, has confessed to
Warden sWolfer that about two years

sion several days ago, written on the
