TRANSFER ALLOWANCE
HELD TO BE ILLEGAL
Commerce Commission Holds Sugar
Rcfinerics Must Give Up = Per
Cent Return.

Washington. Dec 20.-ln a dcci5' IN
made public today, the interstate com
merce commission declares that al
| lowances for the transfer Of sugar
from refinerics to the trains are essen
! TALLY rebates aud in violation of the
| law.
This important determination was
reached by the commission only after
several months Of consideration cf the
matter of allowances for the tlansfcv
of sugar and, SO far as the commission
is concerned, brings to an end coz
troyersy which has long existed be
tween the rcfincries in New York and
those in Philadelphia.
The investigation of the subject was
begun by the commission on it's own
initiative. In its decision the commits
sion lays down four general conclu-
sions as follows;
"First-Thc comm ssion has juris-
d4ctino to make an order in any in
quiry on its own motion, in the same
manner and to the same effect as
though complaint had been made.
''Second-It is not a part of the
carriers duty to bear the expense of
transfer of goods from the shipper to
the carrier. For carriers to undertake
to compensate shippers for perform
inp services which tbe SINNERS are
legally bound to do for themselves is

1t is mighty good investment. It
brings balm to the SOUL cultivates
pure ideals, inspires latent love of art

The love of flowers has been a char.
acteristic of the human race through
out all time. 1t has been an inspira-
ton to poets, thinkers, artists, all
along the silent centuries since the
world was young. The language of
the queenly rose is known to every

the price tumbled heels over head
down as low as 5 cents a bundle.
Thousands were shipped to Califor-
MIA and to Victoria and Vancouver, but
were condemned as diseased upon ar
rival and were turned to the Seattle
merchants at an agonizing cost-par-
ticularly those returned from British
Columbia, upon which second duty
of 231h cents per bundle had to be
paid, owing to recent ruling OF the
United States customs.
Even Uncle Sam Gets Caught.
One of the interesting features OF
this frenzied invasion was the way
Uncle Sam politely participated on the
rough side of the slump. One or the
local commission houses declined TO
receive a consignment of 1900 bun
dies of oranges. The consignment was
promptly seized by the United States
customs officials. The import duty
amounted to $423. The oranges were
put up for sale to satisfy the duty. The
entire lot was sold ror 500, or cents
a bundle, so that the government still
has 1888 on the wrong side OF the
ledger, although the local conslgnee
may have to foot the bill.
Many oranges were sold for less
than % cents bundle. The average

price did not exceed 35 cents bundle.
At all times the market was very
shy and difficult, no matter what price
was quoted. Small lot sales predom1-
mated. There was fever of expec-
fancy throughout the Jap season, an
ticipating that some one would have
to break from under, and that there
would be a still further slump. 1t was
period of stress and trial, during
which the street found it's real mettle,
the mettle that smiled serenely, stood
up to the rack and paid the price with
out whimper.
The Broadside Result.
Summarizing the whole transaction,
one might truthfully say that the more
than 10000 bundles received in Seattle
represented a total cost of $4,000, or
STU cents per bundle; the gross re-
ceipts from the sale of oranges aggre-
gated $4,000, realizing a net loss of
$24,340, calculating that 5000 of the
$4,000 bundles bought by the dealers
were spoiled and that the remainder
sold for an average of 35 cents box.
Or this statement might be segre-
gated as follows, to give proper dis
tribution to the lost money:
u. S. customs, 1870 duty on
1900 bundles ............$ $500
Japanese growers, on 10000
bundles consigned ...... 100000
Seattle dealers, loss on $4,000

more sure than others of getting the quick

The Picture Tells The Whole Story

We would caution all producers who have
stuff to ship, to write us in advance. Very
frequently the market conditions are not
such as to make it wise for certain goods to
be shipped at once.
If we can know in advance, we can adj
wise the shipper to better advantage and
probably be more sure of insuring the ship
per better prices and quicker returns

GONPERS HOLDS
SECRET SESSION
WITH LABOR MEN

Seeking 10 devise new lines Of action,
now that the Supreme Court Of the
United States has destroyed some OF
the strongest bulwarks of unfonism.
President Gompers, Of the American
Federation OF Labor, today held a Sc
crst conference with representative
leaders from all over the country.
The seriousness Of the situation which
cOnfronts organized labor is further
augmented by the action taken yester-
day by a New Orleans grand Jury in
returning indictments against represen-
tatiK eS Of practically every labor union
in the city, charging them with viola
tien Of the Sherman antitrust law
under the Interpretation placed on this
measure by the Supreme Court of the
United States to the effect that labor
unions can be prosecuted as a combi-
nation in restraint Of trade.
Every effort was made 10 keen to
days conference secret.
-Four brotherhood presidents, who ar
rived in the city this morning gave
out that they were here TO attend a
meeting in the interest of the brewery
workers organization. 1t is possible
that the conference forecasts the entry
or organized labor into the political
field, and the launching OF an inde-
pendent labor party.
New York labor leaders are known to
fato or this move, but several days ago,
WIFI itB liiAAGo nuDnSHGu interviews
with leaders in that city. President
GOnpers refused to discuss the matter

must necessarily be A readjustment of
the policy OF organized labor. in view
of the recent decisions of the Supreme
Court. II was for the purpose of con-
sulting as to plans for the future that
President Gompers called this mornings
conference.
Among those present at the confer
ence, which was held in Gompers' pri-
vate office, were Secretary Frank Nor
rison. First Vice President James Dun

The Allegheny river is a mass of float

The greatest danger from ice is ex-

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Feb. 15.-
Southern Indiana is facing the greatest
flood situation in many years. as a re-
suit OF the continued rise OF the OHIO,
Wabash, White, and other rivers. Many
people have removed 10 the hills, and
others are being removed from tlGir
homes in boats. Bridges are gone, and
railroad tracks In many places are
washed away. Many persons are unac-
counted for. and IL is feared they have
been drowned in the torrents that swept
away their homes.
Nashville, the county seat Of Brown
county, is completely surrounded by
water.
Evansville reports that two house
boats, containing men, women and chill
dren. were torn loose last night by the
flood and swirled away In the darkness.
There Is little hope that the inmates
will escape with their lives
Flood warnings are being sent
throughout the Ohio valley.
