CALLS IT UNLAWFUL REBATE.
Interstate Commerce Commission Orders the
Union Pacific to Stop Grain Allowance.

washington, July 9,-On the ground that the al
Iowance is unlawful, the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day ordered the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company to desist for two years from paying
any allowance TO Peavey & Co. on their own
grain received into any Of their elevators at Kan
City and Council Bluffs, or on grain thus re-
ceived in which they have any direct or indirect
ownership or interest that is not reshipped out OF
the elevators within ten days of its receipt The
order prohibits allowance to the Peavey company
on grain belonging to them or in which they have
interest that has been mixed, treated. weighed or
inspected in any of their elevators at those cities
The commission points out that unlawful advan-
tages may be enjoyed in ways that do not involve
the direct payment of rebates. The matter came
up for rehearing the petition of the Chicago
Board of Trade and numerous protests, indi-
eating an extension of the practice of making ele-
walton allowances and alleging determinations and
other evils. The commission decided that the Pea
vey company enjoys, in the actual operation of
their contract, advantages not accruing to other
grain shippers. and the allowance is charac acterzed
as an unlawful rebate.

RIPLEY SEES GOOD BUSINESS.
Thinks Earnings of His Road VIII Improve

Rtpley president of the Atchison, who
came 10 this city 10 attend the meeting Of the d-
actors Of the road on Wednesday, said yesterday
,hs+ c-o,s ii the roads territory promised well
and that the farmers there were prosperous. He
s55sa: This means that for in the Middle West
-he-e will be some accession 10 business after
August !: that our earnings viii be larger from
August / 10 January l than they were for the last
sir months But comparisons with the period from
august 10 January 1 of last year will show very
heavy losses
spesking Of railroad rates and wages, Mr. Rip
lev said: The statement Of Mr.. Brown, Of the
New York Central. is true viz, that If the rail
rosds are 10 be even maintained in their present
condition they must obtain relief either through an
advance in rates or q reduction in wages. Still
more is this true If the roads are TO resume max
ing those Improvements which public safety and
convenience demand and work on which has been
absolutely stopped.
When will the people Of this country begin 10
understand that their crying need is for better and
safer railroads and not lower rates? When viii
they realize that rates are already low that
progress has been arrested
Relative 10 1Ir Browns advocacy of a horizontal
advance OF 10 per cent in freight rates, Nj Ripley
said that he did not exactly coincide with this
view, but thought that the railroads would benefit
10 al equal extent by an advance in rates on
tain commodities which the railroads are now
hauling f0- insufficient compensation.
