IOWA ALLEGES UNFAIRNESS
Discrimination by Railroads Charged
BY Farm Companies.
(By f. G. Dougherty)


Washington, Dec. 27.-While local
live stock buyers. are able to get all
the cars they need in which to get
their produce to the market, CO.
operative farm organizations in many
cases are unable to find any adequate
means Of conveying their products to
market, Charles A. Lyman, secretary
of the national board Of farm organi-
cations, declared in formal COM
plant laid before the federal trade
commission here. Mr.. Lyman said he
had knowledge of discrimination
against the farmer organizations by
the railroad managers in various
parts of the country, and cited the
latest complaint, which was received
from Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
This protest was signed by A. T..
Church, a member of local organi-
cation of the National Farmers
Union. Mr.. Church asked the national
board of farm organizations to assist
the farmers in Henry county, Iowa,
by inducing the authorities to prevent
further discrimination by the railway
officials against agriculturists en-
gagged in the collective marketing OF
GflelT pIOuuClS.
In letter to Mr.. Lyman, Mr..
Church said 81 see you have an
nounced that you are ready to assist
cooperative associations that are dis
eliminated against Here are the con-
ditions at Mount Pleasant, Henry
county. Iowa: The farmers union has
a shipping association here. 1t sends
its livestock to the Equity Livestock
Association in Chicago when it can
get cars. We are unable to get cars
for periods of ten days at a time
and our stock is held for shipment,
the owners suffering loss"
According to Mr.. Church, the local
independent livestock buyer at Mount
Pleasant is readily and promptly sup
piled with cars by the packers. There
FORE" Mr.. Church said, ''the local
buyer is able to purchase his stock
at a good big profit to himself and
therefore at a loss to the producer,
considering what We would get if we
were ourselves the shippers"
The complaint lodged by the Henry
county livestock raisers is to be
given attention by the federal trade
commission, which lust the other day
issued q statement that despite the
agreement between the the Depart
ment OF Justice and the packers by
which the latter get out of the stock
yards business and deal only in meats,
the commission intends to proceed
with its suits for the dissolution of
the so-called packer combine.

OAR SHORTAGE RELIEVED.

Iowa Shippers Now Able to Move
Crops Thru Directors Order.
Special to Times-Rep
Des Moines, Dec, 27.-Some relief
for shortage Of grain cars ia prom
ised Iowa shippers in the order Just
issued by Hale Holden. regional d.
rector for the central west, and r.
n. Ashton, regional director for the
northwest, 10 give grain preference
over all other commodities" 1t is
announced that this order will re-
main in force until the present crops
have been moved.
Many complaints have been COM
ing to the Iowa railroad commission
the past two months because of the
inability to secure cars for the ship
ment OF grain. Elevators have been
filled with grain and 1t has been as
difficult to get cars for shipping as
during the war period, If not more
so. This shortage was accumulated
by the coal strike when shipping
was cut down.
Railroad officials explain that the
grain cars will take precedence over
coal inasmuch as the coal situation
is somewhat easier.
Grain cars are also TO be given
first consideration in the repair
shops and an extra force Of work
men is to be put on in railroad CEN
tiers TO repair such cars. After they
are unloaded the grain cars are TO
be hauled back to the grain centers
over the shortest possible route.
They will not be loaded with mer-
chandise On their return trips eS-
cept when such merchandise is go
ing direct into grain belts.

another, claiming it is his. Later Mr..
Andreesseen caused replevin 70 be

Outlook For Nation Far More Prom.
issing as New Year Dawns.
Paris, Dec. 27.-France will be-
gin the new year with far greater
confidence than the last. This is in
spite of formidable handicaps such
as the balance Of trade running
against her at the rate of 100000
francs a month, about 80 per cent de-
probation of the exchange value Of
the franc and the consequent Difficult.
ty of procuring raw materials and
machines. urgently needed for re-
construction.
Frances renewed confidence is de-
rived directly from the result Of the
recent elections. These are regarded
here as having definitely stabilized in
ternal politics, ended all danger OF
revolutionary agitation for some time
to come and brought q better attitude
by capital and labor toward the i'm
mense effort before France.
Money is forthcoming for invest
ments in anything that promises
stability. While investments in short
term treasury bonds are continuing
at the rate Of nearly 1900, O00,0 900 Of
francs q month, there is plenty Of
money for industrial and commercial
enterprises and long-term loans. The
900 100000 franc loan to provide
immediate resources for indemnify
ing victims of the invasion was over
subscribed before the official open
ing Of the subscriptions. Important
banks and industrial companies have
lately increased their capital to an
aggregate Of nearly 100000, 000, 900
francs.
Transactions on the Paris bourse
which still are confined to cash deals
have exceeded on certain days records
