FARMERS ALLEGE BOYCOTT.
Charge Duluth Board of Trade with
Combining Against Them.

The Duluth Board of Trade is charged
by the Minnesota Farmers exchange with
boycotting grain from their elevators and
shutting it absolutely out of the Duluth
market. Complaint has been filed with
Attorney General Young. who has taken
the matter under consideration to see
whether it constitutes violation of the
antitrust law. The Minnesota Farmers
exchange is the big cooperative. organiza-
ton formed to dispense with middlemen
and to enable the farmers to market their
products and buy their supplies direct.
The exchange has line of country ele-
vators, but no terminal. Its grain comes
20 Minneapolis and is bought by men,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce. This
is not permitted in Duluth, the complaint
charges. Members of the board will no
longer handle their grain and there is
no way whatever for the exchange to sell
at the head of the lakes. The exchange
claims this is an unlawful discrimina-
ton. The Duluth board is termed a COM
bination in restraint of trade.
