CARS AND LABOR SHORT
MANY INDUSTRIES HANDICAPPED
BY TRAFFIC DELAYS.
BUSINESS REPORTED GOOD
Iron and Steel Industry So Prosperous
as to Preclude Sharp
Competition.

New York, N. y.-R. G. Dan &
Business experienced the custom
airy interruption during election week,
but a more permanent retarding lnfu-
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. 600, 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.
while wholesale business in holiday
goods is very heavy.
Iron and Steel Industry.
Tardy delivery still causes COM
plant in the iron and steel industry,
unprecedented production by the fin
ishing mills falling behind the require
ments of consumers. Railway block
AIDES also contribute to the dissatis-
faction of purchasers, who cannot OBJ
tain deliveries on Specifications against
old contracts, while new orders are
only taken subject to remote ship
ment. New lake vessels have been
ordered, which means more business
in plates, although the mills are al
ready booked beyond the first quarter
of next year. The mills have so much
business on hand that there is not the
customary sharp competition to get
new business. More advances have
occurred in pig iron, and the new ore
season has opened with a rise of from
so to rs cents per ton.
In the Grain and Flour Trade.
Interrupted movement of grain to
primary markets and the consequent
restriction of foreign business as well
as activity of northwestern flour mills
checks the upward tendency of quota
tons and caused some reaction. West
ern receipts of 6,339,675 bushels OF
wheat for the week compare with g.
644,123 bushels in the corresponding
week last year, while exports from all
ports of the United States, flour In
cluded, amounted to 2,8S5,573 bushels
against 100000 a year ago.

THE BATON ROUGE TRAGEDY
FRIENDS SAY FAVROT "FOl'
LOWED UNWRiTTEN LAW"
DR.. AIdrich's Funeral Largely Attend.
ed, Who, 1t Is Said, Was Fore
warned and Forearmed.

Baton Rouge. La.-Fully "a thou
sand persons attended the funeral

Tense. Although Judge Favrot main
tanned silence as to the III of the
tragedy, his friends have issued a
statement that he followed the I'M
written law" acting in the belief that
he was avenging IN affront to his
family.
Judge Favrot's friends also declared
that DR.. Aldrich was forewarned and

MANY REBATE INDICTMENTS
Eleven Railroad Officials included in
the List, but Names Are
Withheld.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Eieyen .nc.ct-
ments were handed. to Judge Lochran
liz 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 bad 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, 5 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-Dinsmore
Co., Minneapolis; A~mes-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-Dinsmore 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 Sof the railroads
named, but United States District At.
torney Houpt said he would lot 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 out to the court, the jurors
we're excused for the term and told
to convene again in ST. Paul.
Perhaps the most surprised people
of all were the railroads, for nom
of those interested expected indict'
ments to be brought.
