Elevator Firm
Sued by Farmers
Suit Begun in Pierce County Against
Nye-Schneider-F Fowler Co. Under
Discrimination Law.

PIERCE, Neb.. Dec. A,1Special)-A case
Of statewide interest was filed in the
county court of Pierce county last Monday
by Charles H. Stewart. county attorney of
this county. The suit is brought against
the Observation-Disclosures company of Ere
mont, that corporation being charged in
the information with violating the anti
trust law of this state. It is alleged thai
this corporation, which has a branch grain
and lumber office and yards at Hadar, in
this county, has Disseminated in prices of
grain at that town when compared with
the prices paid at other places where they
have yards located. when the quality of
grain is the same as purchased or the
market at other PLACES! AID due allowance
has been made for the adherence In actual
cost of transportation Va
About a year ago the Farmers Elevator
company was organized at Hadar and thai
institution erected a fine elevator building
during the summer and started to do bust
ness this fall upon the opening of the grain
season As nearly every farmer surround
ing that town took stock in the new con
Germ, they naturally delivered their grail
to the new elevator, and the institution diu
a thriving business from the start. 1t was
then, it is alleged, that the N~ye-Schneider-
toWler people DeSan 10 discriminate ana
put up the prices of grain from 5 to s
cents per bushel over the regular market
price paid by the dealers in surrounding
towns. The independent elevator was
forced to meet prices and up to the present
time a merry war has been going on.
Lately the stockholders became tired of
doing business at a loss and last week de-
cioed to close down the elevator. or at least
accept grain only when it could be bought
al a fair shipping margin. The NyS-
Schneider-Fowler company. however, still
keep up the high prices, and as a conse-
quence the Independents are doing no bust
ness to speak OF.
In their effort to put the independents
out of business, it is said that the Nye-
Schneider Fowler folks have boosted the
price of grain so that they have been forced
to pay in many Instances a higher price
than tina paid on the Omaha market The
state law says that a corporation owning a
line of elevators in this state must pay the
same prices at each elevator on each day,
after making a reasonable allowance for
actual cost of transportation. Upon con-
viction of violating this law the corporation
Will lose its charter and cannot TRANSACT
business in the state thereafter. This is
the first case to be tried under this statute

As a consequence Of the Chambers action
