Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Senator
Hansbrough's resolution directing
the department of commerce and labor
to make an investigation of the Inter-
national Harvester company has
brought hundreds of letters of approv-
al, and the senator is classifying this
correspondence so that it may be sub
mitted to the department with view
to aiding in the investigation. He
has received letters from Kansas, Neb-
raska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and the two Dakotas.
The general tenor of these letters
is to the effect that farm machinery
is generally selling from 20 to 40 per
cent higher than it was five years ago
when the trust organized; that local
competition between dealers has prac-
tically disappeared; that local agents
everywhere understand that they must
sell the whole line Of trust goods or
be replaced by agents who will do so,
and in many instances recalcitrant
agents, who refuse to sign contracts
to sell at uniform prices, are forced
out of business; that since the trust
was organized they have reduced their
sales force and canvassers 20 per cent,
and where there is any competition
left at all trust canvassers swarm the
country and sell at any price until
competition is frozen out; that the
