Purpose of transportation Lines De-

A conspiracy on the part of railroads to
deprive western grain shippers of the
advantages of cheap water TRANSFORMATION
and to drive the grain transportation busi-
ness from the great lakes. is charged in
a petition filed today with the interstate
commerce commission by the Chicago
Board of Trade.
The complaint is directed against the
Pennsylvania railroad. the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, the New York Central and
seventy-four other railroad lines operating
east of Chicago and other Lake Michigan

Discrimination Is Alleged.

The fight of the milk producers against
the test. l.. Popkins of Fairfax county.
va. states, is not that they object to the
tests being applied, but that when cows
in Maryland and Virginia are condemned
and ordered killed the loss falls on the
owner of the herd. This is discrimi-
nation, it is asserted, against the Virginia
and Maryland farmers in favor Of the
District farmer, as when cattle in the
District are condemned the District man
is paid the value OF the stock ordered
killed: If the farmer outside the Dis
trict was placed on the same footing with
the man in the District, and was paid for
his cows when killed by order of the
government or District authorities, all op-
position to the tests would cease.
AS far as the inspection of the dairy
farms, to keep them up to a high stand
ard for cleanliness of stables, stock and
methods, the dairy farmers agree that it
is a good thing and has been Of benefit
to the producer. Regarding the high price
of milk in this city, the producers as
sert that milk is no higher now than it
has been for several years at this sea-
food necessity that has not more than
doubled in price in the past five years.
The hay and feed fed to the cows, the
cans in which the milk is shipped and
everything the dairy farmer has to buy
to take care of his stock has greatly
advanced in price, it is insisted. but
there has been practically no advance
in the returns he receives for the milk
he sends to this and other markets. This
tinue. as there will be no profit in 1t for
the farmer, and the dairymen are going
out Of business as rapidly as they can
dispose Of their c1Ws.

Clearly Within Rights.

The health officer states that it is
clearly within its rights to require the
tuberculin test of COWS as a safeguard
of the public health.
DIR. Woodward says emphatically that
the charge made by the Milk Producers
Association to the effect that his ONCE
and the Commissioners had been endeav-
Oring for several years to get law
requiring the tuberculin test of cattle
through Congress- ana. having failed.
were now trying to force the test upon
the farmers, with authority of law, was
without basis of fact. He further stated
that no matter what legislation regard
ing the milk supply was proposed by
his office, the milk producers always
fought it. and could not be induced to
agree upon any measure for the pro-
lection of the public health.

All the Lines Absorbed.

1t is represented that ''by reas son OF a
conspiracy on the part of the defendant
carriers substantially all means of all
rail through transportation from Chicago
to New York and other Atlantic seaboard
points. and also all parallel and compet-
ing through lines of transportation via
the great lakes from Chicago and other
lake points to Buffalo. and from Buffalo
to New York and other Atlantic seaboard
points, are owned and controlled by the
defendant carriers"
Recently the freight charges on
grain received at Buffalo from the lakes
called ex-lake grain-were increased
from Buffalo to Atlantic seaboard
points 1t is alleged in the petition
that these rates are unjust; that they
are discriminatory, because they are
much higher than the all-rail proper
tion from Buffalo to eastern destina-
tions. and that they deprive the grain
shippers on Lake Michigan and Lake
Superior of the benefits of cheap water
TRANSPORTATION to eastern points.

Injury to Grain Dealers.

The Chicago board charges that seri-
Gus injury is being done it and the
Chicago grain market generally by the
advance. The board declares that lit
was the intent and purpose of the de-
fendant carriers to control for the rail
carriers the business OF transporting
grain between Chicago and Atlantic
seaboard points and to drive such busi-
ness from the lakes
The commission Is urged to protect
the lake traffic in grain by restoring
the lower ex-lake- grain rates from
Buffalo to eastern points which were

Buffalo.

Earliest Glass Making.

The manufacture OF glass dates
from the earliest times, and no doubt
originated with the Egyptians, as the
oldest known specimens are those
found In the tombs Of Egypt, and the
earliest mention Of It dating back to
$500 B. g. has been found in inscrip.
tions OF that country. After the
Egyptians, the ancient people most
renowned for glass-making we're the
Phosnicians. and the legend Of that
people concerning the discovery Of the
art has been often told Certain
