.MILLFRS GET RATE CUT.
FREIGHT CHARGES TO NEW YORK
REDUCED w CENTS.
Minneapolis Manufacturers Welcom,
Ruling as Great
Victory.

Minneapolis. - The Jennison grain
rate case, said to be the most cele-
brated lake and rail rate case that
ever came before the interstate COM
merce commission, has been settled.
and the Minneapolis millers are to
pay 211a cents per hundred pounds
on flour from Minneapolis to New
York instead of % cents.
The case had been held in allegiance
since 1901 by the commission. Millers
have been shipping at the old rate in
spite of the fact that they won de-
cision that was never handed down.
Minneapolis millers then began q
battle on their own account, taking
the matters out of the hands of the
commission. 1--WE fought the railroads
on their own grounds" said j. C. An
drews of the Pillsbury Flour Mills
company. eve were going to install
line of boats of our own on the
Great Lakes. This victory means
more to Minneapolis than can be es.
timated."
Rate Effective Oct. 6.
The new rate will become effective
Oct. on all lines from Minneapolis
and Lake Michigan points. like Chi.
cago and Milwaukee. The main fight
of the mtllers has been for a differen-
tial of 31s cents per hundred pounds
lake and rail as against 2 cents which
had practically killed lake and rail
traffic. Before the 2-cent differential
was in vogue, so per cent of the traffic
of the mills was carried on the lakes
East.
Not over 20 per cent of the traffic
has gone lake and rail. The Great
Northern, Northern Pacific. 500 and
Omaha lines are the principal routes
to the head of the lakes for Mime.
apolfs shippers.
Men Who Framed Plan.
The solution OF the problem that
has taxed the ingenuity of Minneapolis
m1llers for decade was hit upon by
Mr.. Andrews of the Pillsbury COM
pany, who Is chairman Of the traffic
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce; H. Fl. King of the Sheffield
King Milling company and Fl. p. Cal
laher OF the Northwestern Consolidat-
ed Milling company. These three
evolved the scheme of combating the
railroads and boat lines by means of
their own line of steamers
The all rail rate east of 25 cents per
hundred pounds has not been changed.

Duluth, Minn.-Cungressma C. B..
Miller returned home after a trip
through Canada on his way from
Washington, to ascertain the senti-
ment with regard TO reciprocity.
The vote in Canada ON reciprocity
is hard to forecast" he said, but from
roy brief visit in that country am con-
vlnced that reciprocity will carry and
the Laurier Government upheld.
The vote in western Canada will be
six or eight to one in favor OF reci-
procity, but eastern Canada is op-

MIR. Miller said it was too early to
say whether or not he would be a can
didate for reelection.

formation of Chicago from further al
legged unlawful business methods.
It is alleged that members Of the
retailers association endeavor to pro-
hibit manufacturers Or Jobbers from
shipping to competitors who are nom
members Of the organization. A man.
ufacturer shipping to competing deal
ers is subject to u 6ne OF 10 per cent
of the value Of tho sale, It is charged,
and if the manufacturer refuses to pay
the penalty the organized retailers
are Informed Of 1t. In case any as
ISOLATION member continues dealing
with the nlaAufacturer, following noti-
ficatiun that he has refused to pay his
penalty, the member Is subject to ex-
pulsiun from the body.
The Scout Publishing Company is
sues The Scout, lumber trade jour-
nal. 1t is charged that from time to
time editorials were published advo-
eating the principles or the retailers
dealing only with manufacturers or
tobbers who observed the ethics of the
retailers organization.
The government also asserts that
The Scout published the names of the
shippers who engaged in interstate
commerce and trade in manner al
legged to be In violation of the rules
of the Retail Dealers Association,
thereby answering all purposes of a
blacklist" for the defendant organ
izatiOn.
Secretaries on Guard.
When manufacturer or jobber
failed to abide by the rules of the de-
PENDANT organization, it is alleged that
the secretary of the association would
complain TO the Lumber Secretaries
Bureau of Information and that the
latter would IN turn give notice to the
several lumber dealers associations
throughout the United States, all of
which the district attorney holds to
be in restraint OF trade. The Secre-
taries' Bureau of Information IS also
said to have kept The Scout informed
of any violation OF the rules Of the
retail dealers.
According to the governments bill
the organized dealers do not object to
the shipment of lumber to railroads or
transportation companies or for sash,
doors and blinds to hardware mer-
chants who might keep regular
stock of such goods, providing the
material is sold in not less than car
load lots. The classes OF competitors
said to be most specifically opposed
are mail order houses and farmers
cooperative societies.

TAFT AND UNDERWOOD HIT.
Bryan Calls Committee Appointment,
Greatest Mistake of Democrats.

Lincoln, Nebr. - The presidents
reason for vetoing the tariff revision
measures passed by congress were
lamentably weak. The farmers ought
to remember that the president has
deliberately surrendered them to the
greed Of the protected interests and
has cast his lot with those who fur
nished his campaign funds. The
presidents veto of the cotton reduc-
tion bill will furnish further evidence
of the subserviency to the interests.
No real relief is to be hoped for from
him.
William Jennings BRYAN thus sums
up his opinion Of Taft, in an extended
review OF the work of the special ses-
sion. He declares also that several
mistakes were made by the demo-
cratic house. One was in putting a
tariff on raw wool, another in adjourn
ing without submitting an amendment
for direct election of senators, another
in not passing an antitrust bill. and
another in permitting secret caucns
to control legislation. Greatest of all
he puts down the making of Under
wood chairman of the ways and means
committee.
He is not thorough-going tariff
reformer and his environment is
against progressive democracy. The
party had right to expect that a
positive and progressive opponent of
the whole protective policy would b.
placed at the committees head The
mistake has already cost the party
dearly"
