MANAHAN IN LIMELIGHT.

Representative Manahan Of Mime
sofa accuses tho Chicago and Duluth
boards Of trade and the Minneapolis
chamber OF commerce of composing a
! combination in restraint Of trade and Of
being responsible for high prices IN a
resolution calling for the appointment
of o select committee OF seven members
As Mr., Manahan is Republican his res
olution may be rcferred TO a committee
and allowed to fall into the sleep that
knows no waking.
The select committee should be ap-
pointed however. Not because any
particular amount of good would result,
but because this is the age of inquiries
and congress is popularly supposed TO be
ready to poke its nose into any kind OF
business at tho drop Of hat or upon
motion of some representative who
wants 10 make showing upon the eve
of election. Perhaps Mr.. Manahau does
not expect action on his resolution, His
object is accomplished, nevertheless. The
farmers in his district know they have
friend who has donned his armor and
is ready TO go forth and battle to the
death with the elevator trust and the
grain dealers of the three cities named.
Tho Minnesota legislature appointed
committee year or so ago to investi-
gate the Minneapolis chamber of COM
merce, and it was found that the buying
and milling of wheat was carried on in
legal manner and that the producer
was not. being robbed, As the Mime
sofa legislature is largely composed of
farmers, that investigation was prob
ably exhaustive.
Mnnahan Of Minnesota is local
celebrity who achieved fame and ac-
quired a seat in congress by reason OF
winning a suit against the Pullman
Palace Car company. He Is entitled
TO credit, too. Ii happened thusly: A
Minnesota man who set out upon
journey was compelled to occupy an
upper berth in Pullman, for which he
was charged the same price others paid
for the more desirable lower ones. Be
licving this an injustice he sought
lawyer to bring suit. Eminent legal
lumlnaries in the northwest did not be-
lieve such big game as the Pullman COM
pany could be brought down and de-
clined to take shot. Finally Manahan
was consulted. He jumped at the
chance and brought the action More
over, he fought the case to finish and
finally won it, Hence his fame as an
snti-monopolist and hence his seat in
the house of representatives.

DECISION DELAYED.

The eastern railroads have been clam
oring for an increase in freight rates
for some time past, while the shippers
have been equally insistent that they
could not afford to stand the raise and
that the carriers didn't need it anyway.
Decision rests with the interstate COM
merce commission, which has been no.
toriously slow coach in this particular
matter.
The roads seem to have been confident
Of being allowed to charge the extra
) per cent, but the delay has lately
given rise to doubt SO much interest
has been aroused that the New York
stock market has been more or less af,
fected and it is claimed President Will
son sent for Commissioner Clark of the
interstate commerce commission aud ad-
vised that decision be rendered with
the least possible delay. The railroad
case is in, but moro shippers desire to
be heard and the commission will not be
able TO pass upon the matter until just
before the summer recess, about June ].
The activity OF President Wilson in
the matter is somewhat surprising, al.
though he is not charged with advo-
eating the cause Of the railroads.
