WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE In
terstate Commerce Commission con-
tinued it's hearings today in the cases
Of the seven states whose railway
commissions have refused to advance
freight and passenger rates within
their states to a level with interstate
rate increases recently granted.
The cases of Florida and Nebraska
we're first on the list today and after
arguments in these are completed
those of Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan
will be heard. Representatives of the
carriers and the state were heard
yesterday in the Utah and Illinois
appeals. a
In their arguments the railroads
claimed that failure of the state COM
missions to increase interstate rates
to correspond with interstate rates
has caused them heavy loss. The
states, on the other hand argued that
increased state rates were not justi-
fed and would be a burden on the
public.

ILLINOIS FARMERS
POOL LIVE STOCK,
GRAIN, MILK, WOOL
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-Co-operative
marketing as an economic measure,
securing higher return for farm pro-
ducts, and working toward stabilized
market conditions, is one of the most
important problems now being worked
out by the Illinois Agricultural assoc
1ation. Organizations for pooling the
sale of the farmers output are now
functioning for grain, livestock, milk
and wool and plans are now being
worked out to extend these marketing
methods to all sections of Illinois.
Similar methods are also being fol-
lowed in practically every other state
of the middle west.
The need of system of marketing
which would eliminate the hazard Of
extreme fluctuations in the grain mar
ket caused a conference last July rep
resenting grain organizations from 13
states in the middle west. 1t was call
ed by the American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton and resulted in appointment of
a committee Of II to outline plan
of organization. At a meeting today,
subcommittee which have been
studying special phases of the prob
lem, will report plan outlined for
submission to the organizations.

cities, farmers did not, as class,
make money out of the war period,
says a statement issued by the COM
mittee. Therefore, the farmer was
in no particularly happy frame of mind
when the recent raids on the grain
market began. The farmers costs
are going up rather than down. The
farmer asks for some kind of a square
deal so freely vouchsafed to organized
industry and labor. Consumers as well
as producers are vitality interested in
the development of business system
of marketing foods products that will
help eliminate speculation and fluctu,
ating markets The committee of II
will use every effort to devise and
perfect such a system"

WOODBURY. DISCUSSES
PROBLEM OF IRELAND

DR.. James A. WOODBURY., head of the
history department of Indiana univers-
ity, spoke to the Rotary club at their
regular meeting in the X. of P. build
ing Tuesday noon on the Irish ques-
ton. He outlined the purposes of the
various parties in Ireland and the po-
sition that England has taken. Re-
viewed the events of the past few
months.
He predicted that Great Britain
would never permit Ireland to become
a separate republic, and that the pres
ent conditions of anarchy would soon
be stopped. He did not outline clearly
just what form of government would
be aopted in Ireland or the relations
England would assume toward it. 1t
was drawn from his remarks, however,
that he expects joint parliaments to be
the source of reconciliation.
DR.. J. J. Rae and Walker Land were
appointed to attend a state conference
of the cOmmisSiOn-mana form of
city government association which will
meet in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Wednesday, Dec. Is, at p. M.
A letter was received from interna-
tional headquarters of the Rotary
clubs asking the local organization to
assist in the relief for children in cen
trail and eastern Europe at the Christ
mas season under the direction of Her
bert Hoover. A week for special work
on this has been set aside beginning
