UNION PACIFIC HIT.
Arrangement With the Peavey EIe-
vators Held to be lIIeual.


Washington, April 19.-In what Is
known as the Peavey elevator case, the
interstate commerce. commission yes
terday announced it's decision against
the Union Pacific railroad. The COM
mission holds that the arrangement be-
tween the Union Pacific and Peavey
was unlawful, as it was. in excess of
the actual cost of elevation of the
grain and therefore rebate.
The decision was prepared by Com
missioner Harlan and his opinion con-
Cured in by a majority of the COM
mission Commissioners Clements and
Lane dissented.
The decision defines the elevation of
grain and points out what the law
recognizes as elevation of grain, and
says: "The arrangement between the
Union Pacific and the Peavey elevators
at Council Bluffs and Kansas City is
not in itself unlawful. But the allow
ance of / N cents per 100 pounds paid
by the railroad to these elevators, con-
trolled by the Peavey interests, who
are large shippers of grain, and own
practically all the grain going into the
elevators, is in excess of the actual cost
the service, and is rebate, and, there
fore, unlawful"
The commission orders the allow
ance by the Union Pacific to the Pea
vey elevators shall be reduced and
shall not exceed &c per 100 pounds,
such order taking effect on June /,

the dumbest in the country. The pa
