to correct.
The sheep referred to Of Mr.. Tut

or ship them. He did neither. In the

hundred sheep one Of these sheep was
loaded by mistake and Mr.. Tuttle was
informed of the fact before the train
had reached Barton and was told that
he could have the pick of my flock in
the place of the one So shipped.
Respectfully,
J. S. NASSAU.

PAYING BACK IN THEIR OWN
COIN

Manufacturers have lost $250,0O0,-
600 the last few months by retailers
breaking their contracts, said F. H.
Barker, of the National Association
of Credit Men. Mr.. Barker is chair
man of the associations committee
on credit cooperation and credit
methods. He said manufacturers
were being paid back in their own
coin.
"When the market was in the
sellers hands," he said, questionable
methods were frequently resorted to,
which, in effect, are just as serious
and deserving of condemnation as
cancellations. Purchase agreements
were often neglected when the COM
modities could be sold at a higher
price. Not placing, therefore, the
sole responsibility on the buyer when
conditions were reversed, and the
market came to his hands, yet there
has resulted from the lack of good
faith in the treatment of orders a
damage to business which we have
endeavored in a general way to esti-
mate at $25O,OOO,OOO."

A GRAFT SCHEME
THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAY
HAS TRICKY PLAN
Give Business to Outside Concerns
and Thus Evade Restrictions
Embodied in the Trans
pOrtatiOn Act

Washington-"Vice President At
terbury of the Pennsylvania railroad
and other railroad executives who
are supporting his anti-union policy,
are endeavoring to prepare the public
for the announcement that the Penn
sylvania and other railroads have dis
posed of their shops and transferred
their general repair and construction
business to outside concerns, such as
the Baldwin Locomotive works." said
VIM. H. Johnston, president of the
international Association of Machin-
lists.
"This is brazen attempt to evade
the provisions of the transportation
act," said the unionist, Gas these out
side concerns are not subject to the
restrictions thrown around the rail-
roads by the transportation act.
eff the Pennsylvania and the other
roads are permitted to consummate
their plans, they will pay these con-
Germs whatever they see fit for doing
the work which can now be performed
in the railroad shops.
evidence now in the possession of
the interstate commerce commission
throws light on the character of the
contracts contemplated. Certain roads
have already entered into agreements
with Baldwin's for the construction
of equipment on the cost-plus basis.
The government has abandoned it, but
some of the railroads have taken it up.
"This is a matter of the most vital
public concern. Under the Cummins-
Esch act the people must pay the rail
roads bill. EXtravagant contracts
are, therefore, direct tax on the
commerce of the nation.
"This policy of granting fat con-
tracts to concerns controlled by i'm
siders' is not a new one with the
Pennsylvania, as Mr.. Atterbury
knows. In fact, the conduct of the
company has been so scandalous in
this particular that the interstate
commerce commission some years ago,
was compelled to conduct an investi-
cation which developed amazing
graft.
"A return to the old practices now
would not necessarily affect the
stockholders dividends, because these
dividends are practically guaranteed
under the Cummins-Esch act, which
directs the interstate commerce COM
mission to fix freight and passenger
rates high enough to meet all the ex-
pense of the railroads and leave
sufficient surplus to pay 51a or 6 per
cent on the investment"
