DEALERS DRAW OUT
BIG GRAIN MEN REPORTED TO
HAVE QUIT THE TRUST
Dissolution Said to be Threatened,
But Those Who Cling to the Asso-
citation Scout the Idea That 1t Will
Go to Pieces

Three of the Wealthiest firms in the
Nebraska Grain Dealers association
are reported to have withdrawn theil
membership and it is said that nu
lmerous single elevator concerns In
various parts of the state already
have withdrawn or are preparing t6
| follow the lead of the big dealers. Al
| the same time it is stated that the
association is considering the adyis
ability of calling a meeting for the
purpose of dissolving the organiza
tion.
The three big firms which have with
drawn are the Observation-Disclosures
company of Fremont, the Updike
Grain company of Omaha and w. H
Ferguson of Lincoln.
Updike Wthdraws
w. H. Ferguson withdrew from
membership in the association April 1
according to his recent testimony or
tho witness stand at Lincoln. He was
made defendant in the suit Of Tom
Worrall against the alleged trust vi
the supposition that he was member
of it. He declared on the stand thai
| he had withdrawn from the associa
tion April l, having decided that th'
organization had outlived it's useful
ness toward the purposes for which
lit was formed.
These three companies represen
| 172 <of the 770 elevators owned b.
/ the members of the association. W
H. Ferguson owns seventy, Nye
Schneider-Fowler seventy and Updik'
Grain company thirty-two. The othe
concerns are not nearly SO large.
! 1t is now said that one of these
companies, before it went out, mad
a proposition for the dissolution O
! the association, but that it was turned
down. Another simply withdrew with
out saying anything about breaking VI
the organization. Now that the force
have been considerably weakened b.
4 the loss of these concerns and o
smaller firms over the state, it is un
derstood that the movement to dis
solve is gaining headway in the as
Sociation.

I'VE will see the time when there

Moffatt said that unless the Kansas
City railways made the allowance in

Then you think because this is
such a magnificent center that the
laws of the country should be SO
Changed as to enable you to force
every grain shipper to stop his wheat
here so that the local elevators could
make him pay something to them?"
the commissioner asked, by way OF
a retort The witness made no reply
M. Fl. McNeill, representing the Chi
cago Great Western Railway COM
pany's elevators, declared that while
his company made the usual allow
ance it never paid more than Ia
cents per 100 pounds, and that every
shipper got the benefit of the prac-
mitted he thought the custom sense
less and a wrong one, but said it had
been started in Omaha and had to be
adopted and maintained here. He
protested that it was not discrimi-
nation against the st. Louis shipper,
because the st. Louis shipper does
not pay the sum of the locals, but
has a through rate which contains the
advantages of this differential Of Ia
cents per 100 pounds.
Omaha is "Tainted"
Frank Barry, special agent for the
commission, said, following the adj
journment of the inquiry here, that

Omaha soon to gather additional evil

elevator allowances.
After reading the typewriter state
ment which he produced, Edwin p.

company was asked number of ques-
tiOns bearing on the manner of con-
Quoting the elevator business
Finally Commissioner CockreIl took
4 hand in asking questions.
"When such allowances are made
are not opportunities for discrimina-
ton and the granting of rebates
opened up?'
Certainly"
GAS a general principle" insisted
Commissioner Cockrell ought not
the railroad companies to do the
transferring of grain and all other
things incidental to It's transporta-
tion?'
"The railroads are not in the grain
business" objected he witness. "If
the railroads were to take over this
business it would mean that a bust
ness which it has taken twenty-five
years to establish would be broken
up"
cockrell's Plan
'sThe railroads ought to do every
thing connected with the handling o.
grain. They ought to do it all. There
ought to be no persons between the
shipper and the railroads." was the
commissioners comment.
