FARMER AND ,. CONSUMERS
Great Differences Between What the Former Receive
 and the Latter Pay

(By Clyde H. Tavenner, Special Washington Correspondent of the Farmer.)
 Washington, Sept 21-'The farmers of Pennsylvania sold ,forty-eight mill lion dollars worth of potatoes in New York city last year, but they were not worth forty-eight millions to the Pennsylvania farmers. The farmers got three and three quarter millions. This statement was made by mem bers of the Pennsylvania Grange who visited New York to investigate mar ket conditions.
 These grangers discovered that cold storage chicken, weighing a pound and a half, sold for dollar in Madison avenue. For that same kind of a chicken the farmers received twelve and a half cents a pound. The farm CTS bought apples for five cents each, and offered to sell the vendor from whom they got them barrel for two dollars. Eggs which the farmers sold for twenty two cents a dozen brought consumer.
 This vast difference between what the farmer gets and what the con- sumner pays represents the profits that flow, unearned, into the coffers Of the railroads and food trusts. The railroads get theirs. in the form of excessive rates which must be exacted in order to pay dividends on waterea stock. The food trusts get theirs by maintaining unnecessary storage houses, through which they nfanipu- late the supply, and create artificial shortages
 Nearly all the perishable food sup plies go to the cities are handled by the express companies or by the equal Ivy ref lines food trusts, both being owned by the railroads Thus the consumer must pay twice for> faulage. AS soon as these products reach the cities they are turned over to the food trusts, who put them in cold storage and keep them there until a shortage" is created. Then up go prices.
 eff all the eggs stored in New York were placed on the market tomorrow" said one of the Pennsylvania grang- CTS, ''the price of eggs would fall two thirds.''
 What is the remedy?
 Democratic members believe that remedy lies in strengthening the interstate commerce law, to enable the government to reach, and jail some of the owners of the criminal food trusts.
 It is significant that the farmers, for the first time in years, are ''get- ting together on the high prices ques- tion. They know that while their pro- ducts command more than they did a few years ago, there still is a tre- mendous gap between what they get and what the consumer pays. They propose to find where the trouble lies, and it is more than certain that their investigations will lead them to the headquarters of unpunished trust mag mates who control the railroads, and the food monopolies.

company's immense factories will be run throughout. the winter months on full Summer schedule.
 Never before in the history of tire making has such a move been re- garded as a necessity. Winter is gen. erally supposed to be the "Off season" in the tire business and this will be the first instance on record where rubber plants of this magnitude have maintained the same working forces from September to April that were employed during the remainder of the year. Each of the company's fac tories will also be increased in both extent and equipment so that the combined output for 1912 will be far in excess of this years record.
 Although naturally a conservative, MT. Gilbert is extremely optimistic the opinion that the coming year will see the automobile industry taking the longest strides in it's history.
 ''It is difficult for an outsider to fully appreciate the wonderful deve1- opment of every branch of this in dustry.' he says: Even we who are connected with it in one way or an- other fail occasionally to understand the remarkable growth in popularity of the automobile. It has come to be such a widely recognized private and public utility that there appears to be l the standpoint of the tire manufac- turer constant activity is necessary to keep pace with this marvellous devel- opment.
 .'when the United States Tire Com panyi was formed we increased our producing facilities until we felt req sonably sure that we would be able to meet the demand for our four brands of tires. How far off we were in this estimate is best illustrated by the statement that during the past six months, ending Sept. l, we have fall en short of filling our orders to the extent of about s2,000,000. And this in spite of the fact that we have been working three eight hour shifts at each of our factories throughout the Summer. We do not intend that such condition shall arise again.. That is why we have decided to operate our factories with a full working force throughout the winter. We will also enlarge the factories and install great deal of new machinery and tire making equipment.
 we have considered the future of the automobile and share the ultra optimistic views of some of those connected with the industry; we are convinced that next year will be an exceedingly big one for all branches of the trade.
 During the first six months of its existence it is estimated that the United States Tire Company has sold over one-third of all the tires mar keted in America and as explained we have never been. able to catch up to our orders. Next year will find at least 15O,000 new cars in use. The number may be even greater. There fore it looks to me as though ap- proxima tely four million tires will be required to keep all the automobiles in the country going.
 "The automobile has ceased to be a plaything and that is why the whole industry is going forward along substantial lines. This attitude of the public toward the motor car was the one thing needed to give the business a proper foundation

Mad Horses Nearly
 Set City Hall Afire
Furniture Van Was Bringing
 Load to This City

e Ansonia, Conn.,, Sept. 21.-Sprinkled with burning kerosene that had splashed from the blazing furniture ed frantically through this city's busi- blocks they ran, trampling on their driver, throwing crowds into panic, bowling over all who got in their way and hurling aside other vehicles.
 Finally, in their blind terror, the runaways threatened to set fire to the City Hall by dragging the burning van up its low broad steps and into the lobby.
 Charles Godbout was having his household goods taken from Union street here to Bridgeport. Charles Jackson was driving the van owned by James G. Curtiss, Main street nveryman. Godbout had a can full of oil, with no cover, put on the van. Perhaps a boy stealing a ride lighted a cigarette and dropped the match in the oil can.
 At any rate Jackson had barely time to turn his head, on feeling a sudden heat, when he saw that the van was a roaring furnace. At the same movement he was thrown for ward from the van. AS he lay un- conscious his horses raced over him. The burning oil, splashing out of the can, drenched the horses Hanks. and the flames scorched them. As they rushed along, with shouting men chasing them, the spectacle was too much for several women's nerve. Those persons tainted.
 The runaways grazed two girls who were crossing the street and knocked them down. Harry Mott, Frank Gam mon, Edward Brown and Samuel B. Aaronson in turn Jumped at the horses brides and were thrown aside, bruised and cut. When the horses plunged up to the City Hall, Chief of Police Ellis and Sergeant David O'DonnelH grabbed their brides, and although the horses reared and kick ed in their agony, turned them into the street There one horse fell dying.
 City employees ran out with fire ex- tinguishers and played them on the van until the firemen came. Jackson was injured severely but will recover.

Giant Olympic In Dock For
 Months Repairs
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Southampton, Sept. 21-Wfth a de- cided list and with only a few of her first cabin passengers remaining on board, the big. Olympic, of the White Star Line, raInmed yesterday by the cruiser Hawke, was lowed into her dock here, today. An army of steve dores went immediately to work re- moving all of her cargo and the bag gage of her passengers was hustled ashore.
 A survey by the port captain of the line, assisted by the various officials, disclosed the fact that it will require a month to repair the vessel. She will proceed to Belfast as soon as her cargo is out and go into the Harlan & Wolff yards; where she was built, to be repaired.
 In his preliminary report, Captain Smith places the blame for the smash entirely on the cruiser. The White Star Line has called on the Admiralty for a searching inquiry, alleging that the commander of the Hawke over estimated the speed of the liner and was thus responsible
 Many of the first cabin passengers of the Olympic went forward, today, on other vessels and those remaining will be taken care of in the immed- fate future.
