into effect in the United States

merce commissions emergency
decision granting increased reve-
nue. to carriers is to be demanded
by the organized farmers of the
country through the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Having demonstrated the pow
err of the American farmers to
help shape national policies. by
fighting the increase asked by
the railroads. and obtaining from
the commission reduction of
81, 700. 100000 in the valuation set
by the roads themselves, the fe-
Iteration has begun the assemb-
ling Of data to be presented with
this request for lower rates. j.
R. Howard, president of the ma
tional federation. announced in a
communication received by the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora

Esch bill will be asked.

the sole spokesman for agricul-
ture in the rate increase hear

tually saved American shippers
and consumers 5000. 100000 a
year Mr.. Howard said.
The farmers share Of that
saving alone would run the Am.

The federation's action or
present railroad rates is to take
the form of a demand for chang
es in sections Of the Cummins
Esch act which provides that the
railroads may adjust rates to OBJ
tain 81 per cent on their CAPT
talization, and an extra J pei
cent for equipment.
While this bill was up in con

what the hogs need are minerals, and

about five pounds 81 ordinary min

afternoon when the consignment OF
fifty seven bodies arrived at the Read

slight TO our heroes II Is the only
case Of its kind which has come to my
attention, but we want TO preclude the
possibility Of its repetition. My in
fOrmantS tell me the three caskets were
piled on top of each other on small
Ford truck like go much cordwood.
On one other occasion. one Of the
undertakerS' cOnveyances resembled a
huckstcr's wagon. but this other case
was an outrage. We have learned that
the families of the men whose bodies
received this treatment supposed they
had arranged for the proper care to be
taken Of their sons. The undertaken
himself was Mt fault. The name given
to me was ]. w. Conner"
Mr.. Conner when told of Major Hol-
Icnhack's charges became indignant.
THE bodies Of the men referred to.
were laid side by side in the truck. and
not on top Of each other" he said.
And the reason that the three were
taken at once was that otherwise. one
would have had TO remain at the station
until late in the evening. as had no
other immediate means at my disposal
to take them TO Frankford.
