Armour's Private Cars and the Fruit
Industry.

You can't realize how the big
shippers and the railroads have
been making the public pay the
freight, and how far their attacks
against small competition have
gone, until you read Ray Stan
nard Bakers fourth installment
of THE Railroads on Trial. In
the February McClure's. Nobody
would blame you for not belieV-
ing it without the proofs Mr..
Baker gives you. This article
deals with the methods by which
Armour monopolized the fruit
transportation business of Ameri-
ca, and made all who have any use
whatever for refrigerator cars pay
500 per cent. more for icing
charges than they did when the
railroads were permitted to attend
to their business as common car
riers. Ii tells how Armour play
ed the men who evolved the idea
of refrigerator cars, against each
other, ruined them financially, and
gobbled their business hungrily.
But Armour was not satisfied with
this. There were some American
citizens who hadn't felt his rod.
Determinations from the rail
roads were not enough. He
wanted more than to have his
products carried, in defiance of
the law cheaper than anybody
else's, and he wanted the profits
the railroads themselves were get
ting from the smaller shippers.
The railroads were, for the most
part, helpless, Mr.. Baker points
out. There weren't many of
them that could afford to lose
Armour's enormous business. So
if he said: "Either use nothing
but my refrigerator cars, or make
up your mind to get along with
out my business what were
they to do! Most of them knuck-
led under. Immediately icing
charges jumped up until in some
instances they we're more than 500
per cent. greater than they had
been before Armour coveted what
little his rate determinations had
left the smaller shippers. A nom
Armour line charges only $50 for
icing from New Orleans to Chica-
go, a distance of 925 miles; a line
bound to Armour charges 5000
for icing for a distance of 216
miles. Charges elsewhere are in
proportion, and this is only one
of the points Mr.. Baker makes.
Before Armour stepped in the
railroads charged the shipper the.
cost of icing. Some shippers re-
fused to pay the greatly increased
charges, and they were openly
told by Armour's agents that un
less they did come upo Armour.
bound railroads would not carry
their stuff. Mr.. Baker gives an
interesting account of how these
men are revolving and fighting
Armour tooth and nail. Armour,
Mr.. Baker shows, takes all of the
profits and privileges of common
carrier without any of the duties
and the responsibilities.
Mr.. Baker tells of Armour's
machinery for breaking the law;
his codes and clphers for instruct
ing agents. He tells how Armour
tried to enter the produce market
himself, underselling his competi-
tors who had paid his freight for
him. But here he overstepped
himself. And how, and what the
revolutionists are doing, and how
Armour is digging back, Mr..
Baker tells in an astonishing mar
rative.

A CLAN GATHERING AT JACKSON.
Senator Anse Spending More Time in
Mississippi Than in Congress.

ackh0H. MISS, EcD. ., lJUO.-
The following from the jackson
News il amusing, to say the least
as ! read the papers carefully ev
cry day and everything sent away
from here by the Jackson clique
of correspondents would create
the reverse impression to what
the Jackson News prints:
The impression has gone
abroad that some of the members
Of the board of control are await.
ing in fear and trembling the. re-
suit of the investigation. Moth.
ing could be further from the
truth. On the contrary, every
member Of the board has express.
ed a willingness to appear before
the committee and give testimony
on any phase of the renitentiary
management that the committee
may care to discuss. Warden
Henry, bowever, is the only off.
cial who has thus far been sum.
moned, and it is ey ident that here
tofore the committee has been
getting its testimony from outside
individuals and not from official
sources. !"
This reminds the writer Of the
lady who lost her case by protest
ing innocence too much. For the
physical surroundings here are
such as to charge the whole at
mosphere around the new capitol
with the impression that some of
the members of the board of con-
troll are awaiting the result with
fear, from the way they and their
political friends are pacing the
corridors. The jackson papers
frequently use the expression
Senator McLaurin will call his
clan together" Well, the sena-
tor must have called his clan to-
gether for they are here and thea
are not here for their health, as
Banker Sidney McLaurin, Dis
trict Attorney Sylvester drops in
occasionally, and "Old Anse, y
and the tWo State senators are on
hand at all times to protect the
honor of Mississippi, and help the
dear old State to make money out
of Sandy Bayou, to say nothing of
their cousins, and they are all in
line with the News and Golfers
Commercial against ''star cham
bero sessions behind closed doors,
although every house committee
is working behind closed doors,
just as the penitentiary committee
is doing. But the clique say nor
care nothing for the doings Of any
other committee, and the real i'm
preston ar6ased here is that the
clan have received a tip, but none
of their crowd are offering any
81 900 bets on that tip. Nine out
OF ten of the members of the leg
islature are of the opinion Senator
should be at his seat in
the Senate at Washington assist
ing Senator Money in killing off
the infamous San Domingo (negro)
treaty, and to get through the
quarantine bill, instead of here
lobbying around the capitol. In
other words, United States Sena-
tor McLaurin should initiate the
example set by his two brothers
who are state Senators, be at his
desk every day, instead of here
where some of his political enc
mics say he is watching the Sandy
Bayou lease and this investigation
