OFFICIAL PROBE
OF LEASED LINES
Grain Men OF Middle West Strenuous.
|, object t" Doing Away With
the Leased Wires.

New York, July Complaints re
ceived, especially from grain men in
the Middle West, have instigalod the
hearings being conducted today by
the interstate commerce commission
upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of doing away
with the leased wires Of the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph Gable
companies. The commission will con
tinue its settings here tomorrow. and
then adjourn for further hearings in
Chicago on July 9.
The complaints state that the users
of leased lines have an unfair adVan-
tage over the grain interests of Chi
cago and toher middle west points,
in that, with the aid Of leased lines,
the IeSSceS can consummate tranSac-
tons much faster than grain mon us
ing public wires.
A quiet examination Of the leased
line system Of the Two big telegraph
companies has been conducted for
some time under the surveillance Of
Commissioners Hall.
II is believed the complaints of
the western grain merchants will re-
Give favorable consideration.

Several thousand dollars will be
put into circulation here this morn

shCpmen are to be paid the fruits OF
their labor. The ghost" will begain
to walk for the snopmen at s O'Clock
this morning, according to notices
posted on the boards yesterday.
A number of the men who had
made known their intention of taxing
trips during the vacation period
received their pay yesterday. Nearly
all of these were also provided with
free transportation to and from the
points they desire to visit. This
liberal policy of the Cotton Belt is
appreciated by the men, Judging from
expressions heard. The road not
only supplies transportation for its
olG employees to points on the Cotton
tclt, but also obtains passes for
the men from other roads.
AS the force has been greatly in
creased during the last few weeks
the amount to be distributed in wages
today is unusually large. This will
he the last big pay day for some
months, as the force will be cnr'ail-
ed during the summer.
