TO REOPEN FLOUR RATE CASE
Fasteners Will Be Given A Hear
ing.

ing.
Washington, July 6.-The interstate
commerce commission has determined
case, final arguments in which were
submitted before the commission il
Washington few weeks ago.
Convinced that the determination OF
the true effect of freight rates upon
the relative commercial prosperity OF
the Eastern and Northwestern -four
millers is the great problem involved
the commission has decided to give
no opinion until Buffalo and other
Eastern millers have been given q
hearing, and all facts bearing on the
flour and wheat situation have been
brought out.
The decision of the commission was
reached at the executive conference
of that body when the so-called Jen.
nison case came up for informal dis
cussion.
Northwest VS.. the East.
The Jennison case is that of the 81
milling firms of Minnesota, the Dako
tas and Wisconsin, against all rail and
lake lines operating between Mime
apolis and the Atlantic seaboard.
The specific complaint was directed
against the % cent lake and rail -four
board. 1t was claimed to be too high
and to allow too great differential
between the flour rate and the wheat
rate, the result of which was to give
the eastern grinder the advantage
over the northwestern grinder.
The first hearings in the case were
held in Minneapolis last spring and
arguments were completed here few
weeks ago, when Albert E. Clarke, of
Minneapolis, and Charles E. Elmquist,
of the Minnesota railroad commission,
appeared to support the millers' con-
tention.
A member of the commission stated
last night that in the first discussion
of the case in the executive confer
ence of the commission, the conflict
ing claims of the eastern and north.
western millers was made SO emphatic
that the commission was practically
unanimous for re-Openlng OF the
case.
Which Section Shall Control.
In it's further hearing, it will involve
the entire question as to which sec
ton is to control the -four milling bus
mess.
The Minneapolis millers claimed
that with the differential of 5 cents
between wheat and flour rates and
the high -four rate, the northwestern
wheat was all going east to be milled
and the northwestern miller could not
ship his flour east to compete at a
profit with the eastern miller.

HARVESTER TRUST i
NEXT IN LINE
REVIEW OF MACHINE COMPANY'S
OPERATIONS BEGUN BY
GOVERNMENT.
HANSBOROUGH STARTED CASE
Its Officers Explaining Foreign Sales
Charges Declare Only Out-of-Date
Appliances Are Sold Cheaper
to Customers Abroad.

Washington, July Federal agents
of the bureau of corporations have at
last come to stage in their operations
where they are able to begin the in
vestigation of the operations of the
so-called harvester trust in earnest.
Specific authority for this investiga-
ton was given by the senate upwards
of two years ago through the adop-
ton of a resolution introduced by Mr..
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, who
was then making a fight for re-elec-
ton to the upper branch of congress-
Mr.. HanSbrough, at the time of the
passage of his resolution, denounced
the harvester manufacturers, claiming
that they were in trust, and that
they were using every means possible
to bring about his defeat.
While some work has been done to-
ward complying with the directions Of
the senate contained in the Hans
borough resolution, not enough facts
have been brought to light to warrant
a statement as to whether or not a
harvester trust really exists. And this
fact may not be disclosed for several
months. Unlike the investigation into
the manufacture and distribution of
other articles of general consumption,
like oil, sugar and tobacco, the situa-
ton in the markets abroad is likely to
play an important part in the investi-
cation and findings of the bureau of
corporations.
Harvester People Explain.
Whether or not the harvester trust
is really selling American agricultural
implements abroad at prices less than
the American farmer is required to
pay, is one phase of the investigation
that promises to take time. The har-
vester manufacturers admit that they
do sell their product tbroad, and at
reduced price, but they have claimed
that many of the machines are out of
date, so far as the American market
was concerned, and also that they sold
modern machines abroad at prices
less than in this country in order to
keep their factories running, and thus
to insure continued employment for
their workmen.
|, Officials of the bureau of corpora
tions will look into this phase of the
question very carefully, and will gath
er comprehensive data relating to the
foreign demand and the styles of ma
chimes sold abroad. 1t is expected
that the investigation will be complet-
ed in time for submission to the presi-
dent, and subsequent transmission to
the senate, some time in the long ses-
sion of congress which begins in De-
cember.
The submission of at least one part
of the report on the alleged lumber
trust, the investigation of which was
also directed by the senate in resolu-
ton presented by northwesterner
who is not now member of that
body, Mr.. Kittredge, of South Dako-
ia, is also a possibility during the
coming long session. That investiga-
ton is not nearly completed, but
enough data has been collected to
form some of the several sections into
which the report will be broken up,
so that the facts may be placed before
the senate and the people properly.
