Bitter Legal
Battle NeQrs
in Rail Field
Transfer of Service on
c. & E. |. Seen Test
for Eastman.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Two stretches
of railroad track which link Chi
cago with the gateway to the win
ter Fairgrounds of the old south
have become the focal point for
one of the bitterest legal controver-
sizes in modern railroading. The
case may provide the first test of
the powers of railroad co-ordinator
Joseph B. Eastman.
The affected railroads are the
New York Central. the Louisville &
Nashville, the Chicago g. Eastern
Illinois and several affiliated COM
panieS.
Spurred by visions of increased
traffic to the southland this win
ter, the New York Central and the
Louisville g. Nashville worked fast
They are allied in the cause against
the c. & E. I. The fight, specifi-
cally, is proposed transfer of through
passenger service from the c. & E.
I. to the New York Central from
Evansville, Ind, to Chicago. From
Evansville southwark the trains
operate on the L. & N.
Injunction Is Asked
The latest move by the New York
Central and the Louisville & Nash
vile was to file in federal court a
petition asking for a temporary in
junction suspending operation of an
order by Mr.. Eastman prohibiting
the transfer of service.
Already an injunction has been
obtained by the c. g. E. 1. restrain
ing the other two roads from vio-
lating the Eastman order.
At the same time the N. Y. G. and
the L. 81 N. asked for a hearing be-
fore a three judge court to contest
the constitutionality of Mr.. East
mans order and naming as defend
ant the United States.
In building up their case the
roads declared that while the CO.
ordinator in his report refers tt
dire financial straits" of the c. s
E. L, he makes no reference to the
facts showing the flnancia
straits of the other partners in the
Dixie service, SO that his or
der, directly affecting all the part
ners in the Dixie service, forbidding
an improvement vital to their reve-
nue. simply to help the G. & E. 1. il
it's unfortunate difficulties, amounts
to a confiscation of their propertie;
and of the taking of their propert!
without due process of law in viola
ton of the fifth amendment of the
Constitution.
Power Is Disputed
The roads also contended Mr.
Eastman acted contrary to recon-
mendations made in the case by the
three regional co-ordinating COM
mitteeS, and that therefore he "hac
no power or jurisdiction under the
act of congress known as the emer-
gency transportation act"
THE power here sought to be eX-
ercised by the federal co-ordinatol
Of railroads is the power of an owner
and not the power of the fedora
government" the complaint con-
tended.
In the arguments that led Mr.
Eastman to rule in its favor the G
e. E. I. contended the proposed
change would result in duplication
of services and facilities and in
convenience to through passenger;
on the c. & E. l., who would have tt
change cars at Evansville.

INDIANA SALES
423 MILLIONS
AT WHOLESALE
Stocks of Merchandise
$38,601, 900 at End of
Last Year.
BIZ Times SpecfaI

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. Sat the
close of 1888, Indiana had 4,238
wholesale establishments with net
sales during the year of $423, $4,000.
according to results of a census in
the state which were made public
today by William L. Austin director
bureau of the census, department of
commerce.
These business employed 1880
men and women on a full-time
basis, carried stocks of merchandise
at the end of the year amounting
to $38,601 900, and reported a total
pay roll of $4,000, of which
100000 was paid to part-time en-
ployeS.
OF the total number of wholesale
Establishments in Indiana, Ais per
cent were wholesalers proper and ga
per cent were manufacturers sales
branches. Agents and brokers &C
counted for Al per cent and Ala
per cent consisted of all other types.
Business was distributed as follows:
Wholesalers proper, 44.8 per cent;
manufacturers sales branches, III
per cent; agents and brokers, 1856
per cent, and all other types, 24.9
per cent.
Business Shows Drop
While the number of establish
ments in 1888 was 1875 per cent
greater than in 1929, the volume of
business was 81 per cent smaller,
which means that the average sales
per establishment were considerably
lower than in 1929.
Operating expenses we're higher in
each of the four types of wholesale
organizations, partly because of re-
duced dollar volume per establish
ment and partly on account of the
lower prices prevailing in 1888, which
necessitated handling of larger
physical volume per dollar of sales
In addition to being classified
according to functional type, each
establishment also was classified by
kind of business, on the basis of the
chief line or lines of merchandise in
which it dealt. Data are shown
by twenty-five major kind Of bust
ness ;lassifications to which whole
sale establishments logically con-
form.
Conducted by CWA
Wholesalers proper operated in
all of the twenty-five kinds of bust
ness, groceries and foods Except
farm products accounting for 221
per cent of their total volume of
business, followed by farm products
consumer goods with 14.7 per cent;
tobacco and its products Except
leaf with rs per cent and automo-
tive products, with per cent.
The census was conducted by the
bureau with funds supplied by the
civil works administration. Every
city, county and state has been
covered collecting data for the year
1888.

RELIEF BURDEN is WORRYING OFFICIALS

and the distribution of commod-
tiles to the needy.
Most officials, including those
who are directly connected with
relief administration, deplore the
necessity of sticking to the pres
ent method.
They do not believe that the
handout method is helpful in the
long run to anyone, except that
it does keep some from starving.
They point out that the amount
given is not sufficient to maintain
a family in any degree of comfort
and that if the amount were in
creased to even a reasonable basis
the cost would be prohibitive.
Cost Causes Worry
Even at the present rate it is
coming close to being prohibitive.
This is causing the Administra-
ton considerable worry, but the
worry has not yet produced the
solution.
The only partial solution which
has been developed has been the
determination to force the States
and municipalities to bear

inapplicable to the present emer-

similarly part of the wider pro-
gram and probably could not be
expanded during the coming
months to take care of any great
part of the millions of families
now on direct relief.
Several agencies and commit.

at work trying to devise a sub

for the task performed last win

While these substitutes can be

on that program probably will
not get under way until next fall

possible. Little hope is held out
that even the best results to be
obtained from this method will
go far toward relieving the Fed
eral burden.
There is an inclination in polit-
ical circles-particuarly Republi-
can-to believe that the Admins
tration has some definite ideas
about cutting the relief load, but
that it is holding these ideas in
allegiance until after the election
next month. But that idea exists
almost entirely in political circles
and has gained little or no Gre

apparent paradox Ct signing a
crop reduction agreement at a
time when drought was plotting
out wheat fields was explained
this way:
Farmers can get rental and
benefit payments based on the
average production in the past
rather than on present crops.
Thus the wheat program becomes
form of insurance against
drought.
Even while dry heat and insects
