ALLEGE CONTROL OF
REFRIGERATOR CARS
WILL PROBE BEEF TRUSTS
MONOPOLY OF CARIINF
VIII Be Important Feature Of Grand
Jury Investigation--Califo Fruit
Packers Prefer TO Let Fruit Rot to
Paying Toll TO Trust.

Chicago, Jan. 2S-It was discov.
cred today that one OF the first mat
ters to be investigated by the grand
jury in connection with the beef trust
will be the refrigerator car-linc mo-
nopoly which packers. II is alleged
maintain. Prosecutor Sims is already
said TO have possession of evidence
tending to show that California fruit
growers chose 10 let their fruit rot in
certain instances rather than pay
heavy charges for icing the refriger-
ator cars during shipment east. II is
understood that this phase of the op-
erations OF the beef trust has been
carefully investigated in advance and
that II will be brought forward as one
Of the most definite and apparent fea-
lures of the alleged monopolistic
methods of the packers. II is charg-
ed that by absolute control of refrig-
orator car lines which must be used
in successful shipments of meats and
other pershable food stuffs, the trust
was able % control the movement of
these necessities. 1t is also expected
the government will attempt to show
that the trust through the leasing
and alleged manipulation of refrig-
orator cars has obtained preferments
OF various kinds, amounting in some
instances, it is alleged, to practically

With Il total of $4,000 upon the
list the workers for the traction move
ment are now taking a little time to
breathe and incidentally to lay fur
ther plans for securing the remainder
of the sum that is needed in order 10
get traction facilities for the city.
That the committee has not given up
the fight is evidenced by the follow
ing statement made this morning by
DR., C. J. Smith, chairman of the local
committee:
1T looks now like we will be un-
able to raise the amount needed by
the first of the month. but I hope that
an extension OF time can be secured
from the traction company and the
full amount yet raised 1t occurs TO
me that this is a life opportunity for
a real substantial boost towards maxi
ing Pendleton CITY,"
Other members of the committee
express equal determination to stay
with the fight as long as there is any
chance for success. Though the out
look at this time is bad, they are hope
full that developments will occur 10
aid the movement and make the Sc
curing of traction system possible.
