Chicago, Oct. 12.-The National
Livestock exchange TODAY an
nounced filing of formal COM
plant with the interstate commerce
commission against the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway and
all other livestock carrying roads
in western classification territory,
charging that the carload mini
mum on sheep, lambs, goats and
Kids in double-deck cars, now be-
ing assessed by the railroads, are
unjust, unreasonable anl liscrim-
inatory
The exchange contends that the
20,O00-pound carload minimum, on
which freight charges are based,
should be reduced to $4,000 and
should not run beyond 10000
pounds, the limit to which it says
stock of this kind can be loaded
with safety in double-deck cars.
The minimum for cars more than
40 fest in length on shipments from
California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah
and Arizona is $1,000 pounds, with
minimum of $4,000 for small
cars, the exchange said. In other
western territory the minimums

.CARLOT RULE A
SCHEME To AID
WHEAT GAMBLERS
1t Injured Farmers and
Longs" Says Arthur
Cutten at Federal Trade
Commission Hearing.

Chicago, Oct. 12 (by the Asso-
ciated Prcss) Arthur Cutten,
known as one of the largest ope-
rators of the Chicago Board of
Trade. appeared before the fed
eral trade commission today to
testify regarding the squeeze" in
wheat last May when the price,
after spectacular rise, broke
from STAG to $1.16 during the
last IL days OF the month.
This decrease, ascribed at the
time to q gigantic contest be-
tween eastern interests seeking to
corner" the market and an
equally powerful group of western
bears" drew the attention of
the United States senate and re-
suited in the resolution which
initiated the present investigation
by the trade commission.
The break in May wheat, which
resulted in millions of dollars
loss for the "lons" interests, came
after the board OF trade had
ruled that carlot deliveries was
legal on May contracts, whereas
ordinarily it is necessary to make
delivery at an elevator. The rule
was defended at the time on the
grounds that the elevators We're
filled at the time and that il was
impossible to make deliveries in
the ordinary way.
Mr.. Cutten in his testimony to-
day asserted that the car delivery
rule demoralized the market and
was the immediate cause of the
drop in May wheat. He contended
that the holders of the wheat
were forced to sell when the rail-
way demurrage charges became
too heavy. He said that he had
from 100000 to 100000 BUSH
els of May wheat at the time and
had the carlot rule not been call
ed into effect, he would have
made q profit upon his option.
After being assured that the fig
ures would not be made public,
Mr.. Cutton agreed to furnish the
commission with the exact figures
OF his transactions in the May
option.
Victor Murdock, acting chair
man of the commission, asked
Mr.. Cutton whether the carlot
rule had affected the farmer de-
leteriously in that it brought
down the price of wheat. MIR.
Cutten expressed the belief that
1t had, and also expressed the
opinion that certain parties"
whom he did not name, had
caused the rule to be invoked to
benefit the elevator interests.

TRANSPORTATION
SHORTAGE HOLDS
UP PROSPERITY
Editor Of Railway Gazette
Says Public Is Paying
Now for Laws Hamper
ing the Railways.

New York, Oct. 12.--Shortaae q
railroad transportation is so great
and serious that it is not only
limiting but will for q long time
continue to limit production and
commerce of all kinds Samuel O.
Dunn, editor of the Railway Age,
asserted at the annual convention
of Associated Business Papers here
day.
Almost every other condition Is
favorable to an increase of pro-
duction and commerce and a re-
vival of prosperity. he declared.
The present transportation stu
alton was aggravated but not Gre
ated by the coal and railway shop
mems strike, Mr.. Dunn said. The
condition is due mainly. he added,
to q great industrial revival and
commercial activity and to long
decline in the expansion of rail-
roads.
Production and commerce are
trying to increase as much as they
did after the panics of 1893 and
1907 and after the depression of
1914 and 1916" he said. But the
capacity of the railroads has not
increased within recent years as it
formerly dds This is the principal
reason why at the very beginning
of this period of business revival,
the country is confronted with a
shortage OF transportation pre-
venting the speeding up of produe-
tion in the mines, the mills and
the factories.
"The reduction in the expansion
of the railroads has been due to
the policy of government regula-
ton. which for fifteen years has
reduced and restricted the net re-
turn earned by them.
Under ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission they are
now entitled to earn an average OF
SIX per cent. This far in 1922 they
have earned 1-3 per cent, They
can never raise enough capital TO
develop their facilities and handle
the country's business until they
can earn a larger net return.
"The public has persisted In re-
garding the railroad problems as
chiefly one of rates. 1t will lose
more in a short period by this lack
of transportation than 1t has gain
ed in the last ten years by keeping
rates on a basis which has almost
stopped railroad development

GEORGE
LOSES GROUND
BUT HOLDS ON
Support of Conservative
Group Is Slipping From
Premier; Wishes to Re-
turn to Party System.

London, Oct. ~ (by the Associ-
ated Press "A liberal cartoonist
today depicts Premier Lloyd
George making flight from Man
chester in new engineless
glider" the discarded engine be-
ing the conservative party. This
broadly represents the political sit
uation, for although Austen Cham
berlain, Lord Birkenhead, the Earl
Of Balfour and other conservative
ministers are still supporting the
coalition, the bulk of the conserva-
tive party is believed to be opposed
to the continuance of Mr.. Lloyd
George in the leadership and anX-
ious to get back to the party sys-
tenn.
An indication of the complete
uncertainty of the whole position Is
seen in the suggestion made today
that Mr.. Lloyd George will wait
for the Chamberlain speech to-
morrow before finally drafting his
Manchester speech, because Mt.
Chamberlain speech will prove
how far he may count upon the
firm support of the conservative
section of the ministry.
The present belief is that hota
ministers will devote themselves
chiefly to a defense of the govern
ment's Near Eastern policy, ana
there are rumors that the premier
may reveal some new facts in con-
neotion with this, in further jusu-
fication of the British policy,
Excitement in political quarters
continues at fever heat, the only
universally admitted fact of the SIT
uation being that Lloyd George has
no intention of resigning.

VIII Appeal to international
Court at The Hague if
Decision in America Is
Not Favorable,

New York, Oct. 12 (by the A.
sociated Press )--On the eve of the
the date set ror enforcement of the
federal prohibition ruling. prohib-
iting passenger vessels, both Amer
lean and foreign, from bringing
liquor under seal into American
ports, enforcement authorities to-
day were faced with two important
test cases. One was a temporary
restraining order, granted today by
Federal Judge Learned Hand. en-
joining local enforcement authori-
ties from molesting liquor on board
the American steamers Finland
and st. Paul. The other was an
order directing the government to
show cause willy an Injunction
should not be issued restraining
them from interference with ships
OF the British-owned Cunard and
Anchor lines. This was issued by
Judge Hand last night.
The injunction granted today
was hailed as an important victory
| for the steamship companies, who
claim they would lose millions by
the enforcement of the Daugherty
prohibition decision, 1t was issued
upon application of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine corpora
ton, which controls the Ameri-
can line operating the Finland and
! st. Paul.
Judge Hand last night had sign
ed an order directing the authori
ties to show cause why they should
not be enjoined from acting against
the "a lines in the Transatlantic
| fleet of the British-owned Cunard
Steamship company and the An
chor line. Franklin b. Lord, Of
counsel for the British companies
said today that his firm would
await the result of the hearing on
1.-THE order next Tuesday before CON
lsidering the advisability of confer
ring with the attorney general in
Washington regarding a test case.
Cletus Keating, of counsel for
the International Mercantile Ma,
! 1rine, declared that all that his
company wanted was fair test
Of the law and that his company
would observe the law as soon as
liz was authoritatively determined
Hard to Get Crews.
The Cunard complaint pointed
out that the carrying into effect
of the Daugherty opinion would
cause the steamship companies
great pecuniary loss by reason of
difficulty in obtaining crews and
! by the diversion OF passenger busi-
ness to Canadian ports. It fur
ther stated that it would be i'm
possible to comply with foreign
laws, notably an Italian law re-
quiring wine of IL per cent alco-
holic content be supplied to off
GERS, members OF the crew and
third class passengers on ships car
rying third class Italian passen-
igers.
The ruling, the complaint com
.tinues, would also violate existing
treaties between the United States
and Great Britain. 1t further al
leges that the Interpretation on the
national prohibition act represent
ed by the ruling. renders the act
unconstitutional and void and ex-
ceeds the authority conferred upon
the secretary of the treasury by
the provisions of the act.

FRENCH LINE WILL
SHOW IT'S DEFIANCE

Paris, Oct. 12 (by the Associat-
ed Press. The French line has
decided to fight the Washington
ruling against carrying liquor by
foreign-owned liners within Amer
lean territorial waters and, in the
event OF an adverse decision in the
United States supreme court. will
move to obtain an appeal to the
international court Of justice at
The Hague.
Liquor as usual" up to the
three mile limit was the decision
the board of directors of the
French line made today after two
long sessions. then seal up tho
bars and let international law take
Its course"
The British lines are understood
to be in perfect harmony with tho
French company in this matter.
The first test case is likely to arise
when the White Star liner Males
tic, which is scheduled to sail from
Cherbourg. October IS, reaches
New York.
The steamer Homeric, which
cleared yesterday from Cher
bourg. and the French liner La
fayette, sailing Saturday. are within
the lint set by the Washington
edict.
France has decided TO await de-
velopments, leaving the question
for the present entirely in the
hands of the shipping companies,
They will, however. make repre-
sentations should the vested rights
of its nationals, represented by
sailors and stokers aboard French"
owned ships and flying tbs French
flag, be deprived of their half or
entire litre of wine.
M. Rio, minister of meechant

the subject for Premier Poincare.
The latter may take up the mat

Rio has asked the opinions OF
French experts on international
law.
French line officials are abso-

reports that their ships are liable
to seizure as common smugglers.
They declare that, outside the

of personal privilege and liberty

to yield.
