WILL PROBE GRAIN TRUST
Senator LaFoIIette Secures Passage Of
Resolution of inquiry Similar to
Coal investigation

Washington-The connection of
railroads with the buying and for
warding of grain is to be investigated
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. The inquiry will be similar to
that now being prosecuted regarding
the close connections existing between
the railroads and the mine operators.
The elevator trust, the combination of
grain elevators for securing mo-
nopoly of grain buying, for fixing the
pricesf and at the same time for CO.
operating with the railroads to con-
troll both prices and rates also will be
investigated.
Senator LaFollette, as radical re-
former, today won his first notable
victory in the senate by securing the
adoption of resolution offered by him
June 5 providing for such an inquiry.
All his previous remedial propositions
had been promptly rejected by the SEN
ate.
The resolution adopted asks that

what extent special favors have been
granted, the influence which the mo-

has had upon the market, the injury

officers, directors, stockholders and
employees own or control the grain

tons.
8. That individual cars owned by
coal shippers have been the vehicle
of favors and unjust discrimination,
and that while they exist the way will
remain open for continuance of such
unjust and hurtful practices.
10. The commission will recon-
mend that the private car system in
the coal business shall be eliminated
and the railroads be required to fur
nish all the equipment; also that
mine ratings and car distribution be
made and records kept in such way
as to give full opportunity to all coal
operators to see and Judge for them
selves whether they are receiving
just treatment.
II. That the revelations of graft on
the Pennsylvania railroad are ample
evidence that the practice common on
that system, and found to lesser de-
gree on the Baltimore and Ohio, OF
railroad officers being interested in
coal properties on their lines, whether
these holdings are by gift or purchase,
are a source of possible if not actual
favoritism, and should not be permit
ted.

stockholders AMI employees secured
their holdings in these grain buying
storing and forwarding companies.
and to report the same to the con-
gress at it's next session..
Senator LaFollette spoke at length
on his resolution, declaring that while
the country had been astounded at
the facts disclosed by the investiga-
ton conducted under the Tillman-G Gil
lespi resolution of the railroad and
coal operators, the revelations con-
corning the alliance of the railroads
and the grain elevator owners would
be not less surprising.
1t has been shown. he said. that
graft and corruption extended in every
direction in the relations existing be-
tween the railroads and the coal oper-
ators. 1t will be demonstrated, he
said, that similar situation prevails
in the handling of grain.
The great grain producing districts.
said Mr.. LaFollette, have been par
celled out to elevator companies in
alliance with the railroads, the ar
rangement producing monopoly for
buying all the grain in given dis
trict. The elevators are identified
with the railroads, giving every indi-
cation of joint ownership, to the great
detriment of the farmers, who should
have the benefit of an open market
and the best prices for their products.
There is absolutely no competition left
the farmer for the purchase of his
grain.
Mr.. LaFollette read a letter from
Railroad Commissioner Thonls, Of
Wisconsin, showing that nearly all
the elevator stock in the state is own
ed by railroad officials and employees.

THE GREATEST CHURCHES
There Are Only Nine that Can Come
Under That Title

A Roman journal gives a list OF the
great churches of the world. The
estimate allows four persons to every
square yard of space available. Milan
cathedral stands at the head with ca
pacity for $4,000; St Peters holds
SO 600: st. Pauls 25,600.
The capacity of San Petronio, Bo-
logna, the Florence cathedral, and the
Antwerp cathedral is about $4,000 a
piece; that of st. Sophia, CONSTANT
nople is $4,000; that of st. John Late
ran, Rome, about the same (22,900):
that of Notre Dame, Paris, 21,0O8.
These are the nine great churches
of the world. The Pisa cathedral
comes tenth with a capacity of 10000.
The cathedral of the City of Mexico
and that of Notre Dame in Montreal

RAILROAD COMBINE
PennsyIvania-VanderbiIt Interests In
Control of 1t in the Handling
of Bituminous Coal

Philadelphia-Th report which the
Interstate Commerce commission will
make to congress will, it is reliably
understood, be along the following
lines:
l.. That the preponderating evidence
is that the bituminous coal business
in the East is controlled by the five
great railroads handling the traffic
2. That these great railroads virtu-
ally form a combination controlled by
the Pennsylvania Vanderbilt interests,
and that among these interests the
Pennsylvania railroad is the dominat-
ing factor.
3. That by a large minority stock
ownership in the Baltimore and Ohio,
Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western, the Pennsylvania is able to
control the management and so die
tates the policies of these roads.
4. That this control, acquired in
1899 and the elimination of all real
competition has been followed by a
very material advance in bituminous
coal rates, resulting in consequent
higher cost of fuel to all consumers,
this adding appreciably to the oper-
ating expenses of all industries east
of the Allegheny mountains.
S. That with this control there is
nothing to prevent advance In coal
rates, and that, therefore, the stock
ownership which forms the basis OF
the combination becomes public
menace.
6. Upon these grounds, the COM
mission will likely recommend to
congress the enactment of law which
will prevent such ownership by one
railroad of stocks of others, naturally
competing lines, and compelling sale
by the Pennsylvania railroad and 9TH
er companies of such stocks now held
7. That some of the bituminous
coal roads, notably the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burg. and the New York Central, have
gone into the ownership of coal COM
panies on their lines in a way that

tors.
8. That in the distribution of cars,
the granting of sidings and in other
ways the evidence has shown gross
discrimination and faNoritism, par
ticularly on the part of the Pennsyl-
yania and Baltimore and Ohio rail
roads. whose policy has been to foster
