Superior, Wis, Aug 1e,--The :. Wisconsin
grain and warehouse commission, the Superior
Board of Trade and the attorneys for the com
mission and the board have decided to fight for
Wisconsin inspection to- the last ditch. There IN
little money ut their disposal, but SOMEONE has
come to the rescue and 'arran gemeuts are being
made to continue the. fight until it Is decided
one way or the other on ell tho issues involved.
Judge Luse, recent candidate for justice of
the Wisconsin supreme court, and Senator George
B. Hudnall, father Of the Wisconsin grain in
spection law will fight the affair for the COM
mission and the local grain interests. -
The important case for the commission to win
Is that brought by the. elevator companies to
have the Wisconsin inspection law declared void.
Judge Sanborn in thetsUnited States court held
that the law Is void; and enjoined the inspection
bureau. This. practically ties up the commits
sion and the next move Will be to fight the case
to the supreme court If possible. The appeal
has already been mades to the United States
was largely to determine whether to 70 on with
the fight there. The necessary expense money
being Forthcoming, 1t was decided to push the
case. -. = "@+t - : :.
Other Cases. Too.
In addition the commission will tight all the
other cases. The decision by Judge sanborn Is
the only one that has SO far been against it.
Judge Vinje has several times held the law
valid in the circuit court, as did Judge Parish
| of the Ashland circuit, even after Judge San
born had laid down the decision In h1e court. Inc
Parish decision will stand, Gregory, Cook & Co.,
who brought the suit having no interest in thu
| affair, now that the Commander mill here al
Superior was destroyed by: fire. But the com
mission will fight. all the appeals that have beer
| taken in other. cases. =. 49, :, t'Is,-
There are also several cases pending in which
mill and elevator men have, been found guilt!

other interests have continually maintained tina
the commission had no Right to- inspect grain
and SO refuse to pay the fees, ~: ..
For. the present the, commissions hands ar

inspection, as It is held down by the sanbor
