FORCE ADDED TO ELK|Ns LAW
Applies to Freight Brokers and
Private Car Lines.
Government Wins Its Suit Against
Refris orator Transit Co. and
Pakst Brewing Co.

Milwaukee, Wis. - The rebate suit
which the Government last year began
against the Pabst Brewing Company,
of Milwaukee, the Refrigerator Transit
Company and several railroad compa.
MES has been decided in favor Of the
Government.
It is considered by lawyers to be a
sweeping decision, and one which up:
holds the provisions Of The Elkins act
in all It's intents and purposes.
It is not probable that the case will
20 to the United States Supreme Court,
and therefore the ruling will have a
radical effect on the shipping Of the
country.
The court holds that the Elkins law
is sound and enforceable. The ruling
puts an end to all devices for giving
and collecting rebates.
It holds that where a person or @
company gives control Of his or its
shipments to another, such as q refrig-
orator company or freight broker,
the person or company to whom it is
assigned must be deemed to be the
owner and shipper OF the frelgnt anu
cannot accept commissions or rebates
from railroads. This is considered u
highly important ruling, as it puts an
end to the very latest devices found
and practiced for getting around the
Elkins act.
But the decision goes still further
and holds that railroads must strictly
observe their published tariffs and cam
not grant concessions to transportation
companies or brokers whereby they re-
ceive less rate than that named in the
published tariff.
It is estimated that score or more
refrigerator and stock car companies
in the country are affected.
The ruling also puts out of business
the so-called freight broker, the latest
device for rebating. These brokers COL
lect freight and for commissions turn
it over to certain railroads.

CHICAGO TURNS FROM MEAT.
Home of the Packing Industry Becomes
Vegetarian City.

Chicago.-Chicago is turning to the
diet of the vegetarian. Meats are
spurned by people all over the city.
The greatest slump ever. experienced
in the demand for meat for consump.
ton in the homes, hotels and restaur-
ants of Chicago is on, because of the
publication of the Neill-Reynolds re-
port.
Fish dealers are rejoicing because
the down turn in the meat trade has
brought a brisk demand for fish. In
many homes and hotels dishes in which
cheese and eggs figure prominently
have supplanted roast and broiled
meats.
Meat market men generally admitted
that the disclosures affecting the
methods of the big packers at the stock
yards have caused a falling off in retail
business. The decrease in sales OF
sausages and other manufactured prod
ucts from the packing plants Is de-
clared to have been from thirty five to
forty per cent. throughout the city.
