members favoring the bill got their
heads together and. Immediately fol-
lowing recess Ployhar OF Barnes was
called to the chair and the fight for
the bill started when Sorlie again
moved that the vote by which the
bill was lost be .reconsidered. There
were then motions and counter motion
and argument and debate on everyone
of them. Burnett declared during his
talk that the bill was vicious, de-
moraliZing and degrading and Coltom
in speaking against the necessity of
the bill stated that he had Travelled
all over the land and had never found
it necessary to give tips. O'Connor of
Grand Forks explained that the bill
was directed more particularly at the
conditions that exist in the grain

one house was able to get cars for
shipment while the other was forced
to stop buying grain on account of the
fact that their buildings were filled.

The North Dakota state railroad
commission expects within a short
time to issue bulletin in regard to
the trouble that has been complained
of in regard to the grain business i'm
the city of Minneapolis, and about
which the January bulletin of the
commission had much to say.
The members of the commission,
Chairman w. II. Stutsman, o. z. n.
Anderson and w. II. Mann, with the
secretary, Walter F. Gushing, were in
the city this morning on their way
from the twin cities where all day
yesterday they met with the Minnea-
polls chamber Of commerce.
Many Complaints Received.
For some time there have been many
complaints on the part of grain rails
ers in the state Of North Dakota to
the effect that dockage rates were
taken at the terminals, for feed grains
and this was being done not only by
the grain men belonging to the cham
ber OF commerce, but by the farmers
and independent elevators. This is
clearly against the laws of both the
state of North Dakota and those of
Minnesota and 1t was for the pur-
pose of consulting with the chamber
of commerce and upon the invitation
OF the latter tnat the trip was
made.
Another thing that was complained
OF was the statement that the grain
men were really debating the prices
of grain.
... Admitted Doekage Shortase.
"The grain men virtually admitted
the dockage part of the story" said
Secretary Cushing to The Forum this
morning "but they absoIutely denied
that they had been debating prices,
as was stated. on all grains. They
acknowledged the dockage story and
this custom is against the laws OF the
two states, but has been indulged in
by. the farmers elevators and the in
dependent companies, as well as line
elevators. '..... ... -- 's ..-.~.
so many letters had been, coming
to the commission and these in turn
had been talked over in the chamber
of commerce in, Minneapolis that

North Dakota Farmers
Lose Money Through
Dockage at Terminals
North Dakota Railroad Commissioners Discussed Terminal
Matters in Minneapolis Yesterday
Farmers and Independent Elevators Said to Take Dckage As
Well As Line Elevators
Much More High Grade Grain Shipped Out Of Minneapolis
Than Is Shipped Into That City

when the invitation was received by
the commission here to pay q visit
TO Minneapolis and discuss the ques-
tions, 1t was at once accepted and
the members went 10 the twin cities
on Sunday evening.
THE discussion was in a friendly
spirit and the different matters were
taken up separately and the grain peo-
pie showed up their side of the case
nicely. They admitted the dOckage
story, but stated that at the mar
gin of cents they were losing money
and not making a dollar. but they
thought that If this margin was raised
to cents they might get out a little
over even.
How Farmers Lose.
During the discussion il Crept out
that there was more high grade wheat
shipped out of Minneapolis than was
received, and that this amounted i'm
round figures to the sum of S3,000,O00
year that the farmers of the north
west were losing. This grain has been
accepted as an inferior grade, but IS
afterwards cleaned up and shipped out
as high grade. In other words low
grade wheat had been cleaned and
placed in the high grade class and a
great deal of this loss comes TO the
farmers of this state.
The commission will take up all of
these matters" said Mr.. Gushing,
and will look into them most care
fully, and 1t is more than likely that
bulletin will be issued whian will
give the people some idea Of how mat
teTs stand, and of what remedies this
commission will suggest.
In the question of the grain men
having a combine there was no direct
evidence in this line, but It WIS shown
in part that where there we're four
or five elevators in a town II was the
the easiest thing in the world for
them to sort of fix the price, rails
ing or lowering it at will"
Commission Doing Work.
1t will be seen by the above that
the commission Is doing good work,
and that it in made up of mon who
are really endeavoring to do something
that will benefit the people and par
! ticularIy the farmers OF North Dako-
, Ia. 1t Is hoped by the commission
that within another year there will
be established a uniform system OF
running elevators which will rebound
/ to the benefit OF both the eIeVatos
men and the farmers. The commits
sion proposed To 20 into the above
question closely and to get at the
bottom OF ii.
Members of the commission who were
in the city spoke very highly of the
treatment that was accorded them in
| the twin cities and state that every
effort was made to give all the in
| formation touching each phase of the
case that came up. 1t is believed by
those who know that the visit to the
twin cities on the part of the COM
mission will save to the people of the
state at least half a million alone the
! present year"
