CREAMERY MEN FEEL SURE
Butter Makers Confident Of Prevent.
ing Railroads Raising Rates.
HARTMAN BACK FROM CHICAGO
Relates Some Amusing Testimony
Given by Government omcials
\ who Are Ignorant of the
Inside Facts.

y 8 Hart nan. traffic manage OF the
Fnsrrnont Creamery company and other
brttcr makers. who attended the hearing
before Interstate Commerce. Commissions
Proud IN Chicago last week and gave testi-
monv in the hope of defeating the advance
in rates on milk and cream, has returned
IN Omaha confident that he will succeed IN
blocking the program, Of the railroads.
The case Involves tho proposed advance
IN rates amounting TO from 663s to 15 per
cent. which the transportation lines were
enioined from making effective by Judge
Yin United states circuit court in
September. 1907.
Some ofNhe hings,which we're brought
out in the testimony were highly anus
ing" said Mr.. Hartman. For instance, an
official Of the United States government
testified that the big creamery companies
such as are making 15O00.OO0 pounds Of but
ter IN Omaha annually, were putting the
small creameries out OF business. When
Commissioner Prouty inquired into the
method OF destroying the small creameries,
the deputy>to the chief Of the Dairy Bureau
Of the Department Of Agriculture, replied:
They pay TIE farmers more for their cream
than the small creameries do"
some Interesting Testimony.
Another interesting bit Of testimony from
the government official Is related by the
creamery men. The attorney for the rail
roads asked II the big creameries made
butter for the government and the official
replied that the complaining companies did
not make the butter for the government.
as their butter IL below the standard. When
asked where the government secured the
butter the official replied: From Swift
& Co"
TO the Missouri river butter makers this
was amusing. as the Hanford Creamery
company OF Sioux city has been supplying
wifi & Co. with butter for the
Brooklyn navy yard, while an Omaha
creamery is now supplying much butter to

Starting on his return trip from drouth

Twenty Greek bootblacks stood before

Mansfield, but about the only information
secured from them was that they were all
II years of age, had all come to America
with an uncle. a cousin or a parent; that
they did not come here under a contract
to work.
The boys were all charged with being
neglected or surrounded by improper influ-
ences and they were all subjected to a
searching quiz in an effort to find out
whether or not there is a peonage system
among the Greeks in Omaha. but at the
Tclose of the examination the authorities had
to admit that the lads or some older heads
were too much for them. They had ready
answers to all the questions put to them and
answers which would free them and their
employers from law violations.
