TWO RAIL LINES OFFER
TO CARRY GIFT CORN FREE

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Offers Of trans
portation facilities for carrying grain
donated by the farmers Of America for
the starving people of Europe and
Asia, were made by two railroads Fri
day to the American Farm bureau fed
Grafton, which is sponsoring the plan.
The roads agreed to handle the grain
without charge wherever the trainmcn
donated their services.
The Illinois Central through G. 81.
Markham, president, and the Chicago
and Northwestern railway, through
President w. II. Finley agreed to
handle ''all grain rendered in trainload
lots without charge, providing the
trainmen tender their services without
charge.
Carload Lot Proviso
They also stated that, realizing the
difficulty Of apportioning wages Of the
trainmen gathering the grain for ship
ment to central points where train
loads would be made up, they will
handle this grain also without charge,
provided It is rendered in carload lots.
Warren S. Stone, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
recently agreed to donation Of train

Declaring hat the contract upon
which the cooperative marketing plan
of the Montana Wheat Growers asso-
citation is based is misleading and Of
fers too many opportunities for play
ing into the hands Of the grain gamh-
lers, Charles A. Rassell Of Missoula
advised the farmers to stick to the
marketing program advocated by the
American Society of Equity rather
than take a chance on the wheat
growers contract in an address that
was the feature Of the Friday evening
session of the Co-operators congress.
Mr.. Russells attack on the Sapiro
contract precipitated lively discus
sion in the course of which D. r.
Cresap Of Lewistown, chairman Of the
organization committee of the wheat
growers, and several other wheat
farmers defended the program Of the
Montana Wheat Growers from the
floor Of the theater.
Contract to Sell
"The contract is not contract to
pool the wheat, it is contract to
sell it," declared Mr.. Russell You
not only agree to sell your wheat to
the association for six years but you
agree to sell it at price fixed BY
the association. My advice to the man
who raises wheat is to retain control
of his wheat until he sells it. Ship
your wheat to the Equity st. Paul
exchange which is the best marketing
organization Of its kind in the coun-
try"
The speaker centered his attack on
the iron-clad nature Of the contract,
stating that while the marketing pro-
gram might work out with great sue
cess if it were kept in the hands of
honest leaders it was 50 "air tight
in nature that it could be made to
play directly into the hands of the
"grain pirates" if the leaders forgot
the interests of the farmers and sold
out to the grain buyers.
Successful Elsewhere, Claim.
Mr.. Russell expressed his confidence
in the men who are in charge of the
organization work of the association
at the present time and declared that
he would be perfectly willing to sign
the contract himself if he could be
sure the control Of the organization

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
SUFFlClENT-1U

Washington, Feb. 11.-Precautions
taken and steps contemplated are be-
lieved by federal health authorities to
be sufficient to prevent a spread of
the European typhus epidemic to the
United States, Secretary Tumulty Fri
day night informed DR.. r. S. Copeland,
New York health commissioner.
Secretary Tumulty, in telegram to
DR.. Copeland, quoted report on the
typhus situation from the secretary OF
the treasury who declared there was
nothing to warrant imposition Ct a ban
on the admission Of immigrants from
typhus infested districts, as suggested
by DR.. Copeland. The suggestion re-
suited from the arrival at the port OF
New York within the last few days Of
more than 80 cases Of typhus.
Outbreaks in Sums Fear.
Surgeon General Cumming, IN a
statement said that even should typhus
get into the United States there is
no reason to fear that its introduction
would be followed by epidemics ON the
same scale as in Europe"
AT the same time" the surgeon
general added, lit must be borne in
mind that there might be outbreaks in
the slum quarters Of great cities. The
disease spreads only in unsanitary and
filthy surroundings for, as far as
known, the disease is spread only by
lice"
The typhus situation will be consid-
cred at conference Saturday between
DR.. Cumming and Ewing LaPorte, as
sistant secretary Of the treasury, in
charge of public health. The report of
Assistant Surgeon General R. II.
Creel, who has been in New York in
vestigating the situation, will be con-
sidered at the conference and it is ex-
pected that further measures to safe
guard the United States will be deter
mined.

would remain in the hands of men
equally competent and honorable"
At this point in his talk Mr.. Russell
was interrupted by someone in the
audience who inquired:
"If the contract has so many flaws
in it, why is it that it has worked out
so successfully in California, Wash
ington and Idaho?" ......
'In those states the associations
have the advantage Of a local market
Here in Montana you are between two
terminal markets. Because the plan
has worked on the coast is no reason
why it will work out here in Montana"
replied the speaker.
Discussion Is Equal.
From this time until the close Of the
meeting the discussion became general
with Mr.. Cresap and other friends of
the new marketing movement defend
ing the cooperative program from the
floor and Mr.. Russell answering them
from the platform.
Mr.. Cresap reiterated several Of the
points brought up in his talk Friday
afternoon and stated that the contract
had been approved and indorsed by
bankers, lawyers and representatives
Of farmers organizations throughout
the country where the wheat marketing
problem is coming to the fore.
"If the farmers Of Montana cannot
trust the farmer directors they them
selves elect to take charge Of the af-
fairs Of the Wheat Growers associa-
ton then they cannot trust any leaders
in the world" declares Mr.. Crcsap in
replying to the speakers attack.
Russell Defends Equity.
1.-THE Montana Wheat Growers asso-
citation is a farmers organization in
which directors, elected by the farm
ers, hire competent men to market the
wheat in an Intelligent manner. 1t is
not pooling proposition nor a holding
proposition and it was never intended
to be either"
Before opening his attach on the
wheat growers contract, Mr.. Russell
warmly defended the Equity and said
that "any man who says ]. NJ Ander-
son is crook is -- liar and can
prove it." The speaker stated that the
Equity hdd fought the farmers fight
against the grain gamblers" from the
beginning and would continue to do So
