taken from railways in the form of re-
bates is made i'll suit filed yesterday
by Rodney B. Swift, former head of
the experimental department of the
Mccormick works
Swift is the man against whom the
company recently brought suit for the
recovery of stock. The company
charges him with swindling 1t in the
matter of patents. Recently Mrs.
Swift brought a suit in which she
charged the harvester trust with brib.
ing legislatures, refusing to pay just
taxes. violating the antitrust laws, and
other illegal acts. Besides the harvest
er company and its managing direct
ors Mr.. Swift makes number of rail-
ways defendants to his bill for an ac-
counting and Injunction.

The following railroads are also
made parties to the suit: The Chicago.
West Pullman & Southern; Illinois
Northern; Milwaukee; Northwestern;
Illinois Central; Burlington; Santa Fe;
Rock Island; Chicago & Alton; Great
Western. and Wisconsin Central.
Two of these railroads.&c. Chicago,
West Pullman & Southern and the H.
linois Northern are described in
Swift's bill as being concerns by which
tribute was, according TO Swift, exact
ed from the larger roads in favor OF
the harvester company. The two roads.
Swift asserts, consist principally of
switch tracks Swift declares that up
to Sept 80, 1902, the Mccormick branch
of the harvester company alone forced
the railroads TO pay it. through rebates
and the operation of the Illinois North
ern road, over $3,OOO,000.
Rebates Exceed $I.OOO,OOO.
Up to the same date. money received
in rebates by the Plano branch of the
harvester company through the agency
of the Chicago, West Pullman & South
ern railroad amounted to 100000.
Since Sept. 80 1902. it is declared that
all the other railroad companies have
been paying rebates to the harvester
company under the guise of alleged di-
vision of freight rates with the Illinois
Northern. Swift asserts that the al
legged Illegal rebates made to the Inter
national company since 1902 exceed
100000
