MANY INDUSTRIES HANDICAPPED

Competition.

New York, N. Y.-R. G.. Dun G
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Business experienced the custom
airy interruption during election week,
but a more permanent retarding infiu-
ence was the Inadequate supply OF
freight cars and labor. Many indus.
tries are severely handicapped by
traffic delays. In other cases there Is
idle machinery because hands cannot
be secured. despite the high wages
offered. This difficulty threatens to
reduce the lumber cut materially. Sew
eral strikes are threatened, and one
railway system alone has advanced
wages to the extent OF 81 900, 900
monthly. Retail trade is well main
tanned by lower temperature In some
sections OF the country, and the full
employment OF labor at all points.

goods is very heavy.

ROADS AND GRAIN Primo oct
GRAND JURY oHAke.UP.
MANY REBATE INDICTMENTS
Eleven Railroad officials included In
the List, but Nance Are.
Withheld.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Eleven indict
ments were handed to Judge Lochran
In the United States district court
and they covered the giving Of rebates
by certain railroads and the receiving
OF the same by grain firms and indi.
viduals. The list Of corporations
against which the indictments were
returned, as given out by Assistant
District Attorneys Ewart and Dickie,
who have had charge of the cases,
were as follows:
The Great Northern Railroad Co.,
four indictments and about Is counts.
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis IL
Omaha railway, one Indictment and
SO counts.
Wisconsin Central railway, one in.
dictment, II counts.
Minneapolis & st. Louis railway,
one indictment, s counts.
The indictments against the rail.
roads charge the giving of rebates.
For Receiving Rebates.
Under the head Of receiving rebates,
the following true bills were returned:
W. p. Devereux Co., MCCALL insmore
Co.. Minneapolis; Ames-Brooks Co, Of
Duluth; Duluth Milling Co.
Some of the specific charges con-
tanned in the indictments were
against the Great Northern railway,
two indictments for giving rebates to
the Spencer Grain Co., n for giving
to the Mccall lnsmore Co. and for
giving rebates to the Spencer Grain
Co.
The Omaha railroad. the Wisconsin
Central and the Minneapolis & st.
Louis were charged with favOring the
Spencer Grain Co. The companies in
dicted who are not railroad companies
are charged with receiving rebates.
Railroad Officials Indicted.
Besides the corporations, indict-
ments were returned against eleven
individual officials of the railroads
named, but United States District At.
torney Houpt said he would not con-
sent to the names being given out
for publication owing to the fact that
no service had yet been obtained upon
them.
The general Offense alleged In the
railroad indictments is the absorption
of grain elevation charges.
After the bunch of indictments had
been given ont to the court, the jurors
were excused for the term and told
to convene again In st. Paul.
Perhaps the most surprised people
of all were the railroads, for none
OF those interested expected indict.
ments to be brought.
