Minneapolis, Nov. 21.-J. ]. Hill
and 20 business men here are testify
ing before the interstate commerce
commission hearing of the charge
that certain railroad men own stock
in grain companies to the detriment
of competition.
j. j. Hill took the side of the far
mers today when he testified before
the grain trade hearing by the COM
mission.
He declared grave evils existed in
the grain trade against the farmers;
that public elevators should not han
die grain; that federal inspection
alone could relieve the conditions,
that the laws regulating grain inspec-
ton and handling are good, but not
enforced.
He denied that he or any member
of his family owned any stock in any
elevator but admitted he had nearly
matured plan for the Great North
ern to acquire the elevator systems
along the route, but added he had
"discovered the courts would not al
low It.
Tho elevators should give the far
mers receipts that would be like
drafts. Thus the farmer could practi-
cally ship the whole of his wheat crop
for a twO-cent stamp"
Price of Grain Fixed by Buyers.
p. B. Smith. president of the Min
neapolis Chamber of Commerce, ad-
mitted the grain men fixed the price
Of wheat each day and telegraphed the
elevators what to pay the farmers for
wheat. He said the grain men al
lowed themselves three cents a bushel
for handling wheat and fixed the
price
