A succingt “history of the case” s given in a brief flled with the Interstate Com- merce commission by the Commercial club as complainant inst all the lines con- verging in Omaha. Part of it reads as fol- lows: Omaha and Councll Blufts, located op- posite each other, the former upon the west side of the Missouri river, the latter upon its east bank, are and for years have been, competing jobbing and distrib- uting cenfers. The rails of the respond- ent companies reach both cities, some from the east, others from the wést and south. Prior to 182 the rates fixed by the re- ndents, then reaching these cities, in- cluded a’ brige toll, charged each time| g00ds were carried’ across the river in| either direction. All goods coming to| Omaha by rall from the east pald. the bridge toll ‘and on all goods shipped. from Omaha into Iowa the bridge toll was again collected; stmilarly, all goods coming into Council ‘Blusft from the west pald the bridge toll and is re-shipped from Council Bluffs int6 Nebraska the bridge toll was | again_ pald. n however, the railroads made a ""‘;8 n the rates to these cities. All were, under the new rates, hauled into Omaha and Council Bluffs, both from the east (excepting Iowa < ints), and from the west at exactly the same rate. The same rates were fixed between these cities and all points no! #nd south. Couneil Blufts w iven the privilege of ship- Dlngw to Nebraska and western points at the Omaha rate. To all points: :Il:s'(a‘fitpt Towa, npc.:h‘u) the rz“tu 'fi" same. But in respect to ship- ments between this city and h B Tt ts in Jowa, : and ' was hat given in < Injustice to Omaha, This diserimination against Omaha. is, in part, the injustice of which complaint is erein ‘'made. On all goods coming from the west oi south through Nebraska, the raflroads give Council Bluffs the Omaha rate. On all shipments into Nebraska and all weatern points Council Bluffs s given the Omaha rate; but upon shipments be- tween Omaha and lowa points gharged 4 rate higher than that of (. Thus, when two wholesale dealers, or canned goods, or frults, or tea, or other commodity from the west, the railroads haul the shipment across the river and de- liver it to the Counell Bluffs merchant at the rate charged the merchant in Omaha; then, when selling in competition with each other, these merchants make a sale from these goods in some Nebraska city, the railroads haul these goods across the river a second time for the Councll Bluffs mer- chant and deliver them to the purchaser in Nebraska at exactly the same rate as that charged the Omaha competitor. Thus the rallroads haul the goods in tavor of Council Bluffs across the Missouri river twice without additional charge therefor. But when the Omaha merchant, competing with the dealer in Council Bluffs, makes a sale from these goods in any Iot Iroads refuse to haul the goods for him even once across the river without extra charge. The Omaha man is compelled to pay upon his nnflmam into Towa a higher rate than that charged his Council Bluffs competitor. Begun Twenty Ye. The discri: begun in 1 s Ago. ination against Omaha was when the rallroads changed {heir " policy and ‘no lengér charged each time goods were carried over the river. The so-called, low rates in lowa were adopted by the commission in 1889, There- fore this discrimination was conceived and carried out seven years before the railroad commission of lowa lowered the rates in t state. Moreover the discrimination begun In flagrant bad faith, since it been expressly agreed with the Unfon Paclfic Rallway company that the lowa roads should, In consideration of certain gains. put Omaha and Council Bluffs upon an absolute equality in respect to rates. both ‘“in-rates” and “out-rates.” These lTowa roads took the consideration given them as per the agreement, and then re- iused to carry out the contract as 1o ship- sents between Omaha and Council Blufts and points.in lowa. Tepeated remonstrances against this un- Just’ discrimination toward Omaha were et by as frequent promises to correct the acknowledged evil. ' But the lowa lines were no more faithful to these promis thun they were to their contract with the Unfon Pacific Rallway company.

The fullest possible measure of reciprocity between the United Btates and Canada was especially favored and a memorial was adopted on the subject which will be forwarded to President Roosevelt. Resolutions were also adopted on the labor question, recognizing the right of all men to organize, but denying the right of any labor organization to demand that in- atviduals be compelied to unite witi\it or to demand that only union men shall re. celve employment. One of the features of the afternoon session was the bitter at- tack made on labor unions by §. T. Ballard ot Louisville, Ky., while the labor resolu- tions were under consideration. Mr. Bal- lard sald in conclusion: “It would be well to form an assocla- tion of employers in everr town in the country. We ust do something to pre- serve for ourfelves and our children the principles of freedom and independence which our forefathers handed down to us in their declaration of independence that ‘every man shall have the right of life, liberty and the pursult of happiness.’ The Only Way.

Resolved, That we especially and most strongly tayor the fullest possible measure of reciprocity between the United States and the Dominjon of Canada, the nearest and next to the largest market for, Amer- jean products and manufactures, and in view of the early assembling of the joint high commission, the following memorial be forwarded to the president of the United States: Tells What it Thinks, The Millers' National federation assem- bled in mass convention at Detroit, Mich., represents & manufacturing industry em: bracing upward of 10,000 separate establish- ments, having a_combined annual produc- tion of over 500,000,000 barrels and involying a labor expenditure of over §20,000,000. This industry is the one consplcuous exdeption 1o the otherwise universal manufacturing rosperity. Existing conditions are largely e Lo the exclusion: of American flour from many important forelgn countries. is exclusion results from discriminating duties imposed upon them for wheat and against flour, The government of the United Btate can, by a liberal and comprehensive policy of Feclprocity with these countries, secure the removal of this discrimination. The enormous and steadily increasing surplus of Canadian grown wheat thrown pon fhe (markets of the United Kingdom de- preciates prices abroad, enables the forelgn miller to undersell his American com- petitor and lowers the kelling price of the entire wheat crop of the United States. The grinding of this wheat in American mills would place the regulation of prices in this country, thereby increasing the farm value of wheat, securing the larger and more steady employment of mill labor and reasonably profitable return to American flour manufacturers. Political conditions are favorable to and make highly desirable the fullest measure of reciprocal trade arrangements with the dominion of Canada, the nearest and next to the largest market for American pro- ducts, both of farm and factory: and in view of the early assembling of the United States and Canada joint high commission We most earnestly urge the use of your strongest influence toward the successful | accomplishment of tihis object. lhe resolutions also urge the raliroads to give better dispatch to flour and mill pro- ducts, at the same time declaring that millers should be well assured of their abllity to ship flour within the specified time when they are making contracts.

CLERKS TO BE BROUGHT FROM DENVER Des Molnes Makes an Effort to Secure 1, bat Prom Kept by Postmaster General. Previo: [ (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June 4—(Special Tele- gram.)—On July 1 headquarters of the western division of the rural free de- livery will be located at Omaha by rea- #on of an officlal order made today by Postmaster General Payne. Ever since the creation of the dlvision of the rural free delivery Nebraska representatives In con- gress have urged the establishment of di- vision headquarters in Omaha. Un fortunately, however, the rural free de livery service did not have money enough to make any change in headquarters lo- cation until the beginning of the fiscal year. Congress last winter gave a very large sum for rural free delivery service and In conformation with an act of con- gress and the desire on the part of the postmaster general to equally distribute the money throughout the several sections it was decided to change the headquarters of the western division of the rural free delivery service from Denver to Omaha, thereby centralizing the headquarters in the territory included within the western division. For a time it looked as if Des Moines might be designated as headquarters of the western division, but the Nebraska sen- ators, having had a pledge from the post- master general that when they came to remove the headquarters from Denver he would place it in Omaha, they held: him to his pledge. Senator Millard, who was in Washington recently, made it a point to emphasize his understanding of the sit- uation with the postmaster general as to western division headquarters. Mr. Payne at that time told the senator that former urances would be carried out and the order of today making Omaha head- quarters of the western division of the rural free delivery is the result. It is un- derstood the force now in Denver will be removed to Omaha so that active work may be commenced shortly after July 1. Reo: e of Departments.

Machen, late superintendent -of free delivery service of the Postoffice department, who 1s charged with having received bribes to the amount of $20,00 in contracts, was presented to the federal grand jury today. District Attorney Tagghrt represented the government. The first witness was Andrew M. McBath, chief of division In the office of the auditor for the postoffice, who was under examination for several hours. Inspector Mayer, who worked up the case against Machen, followed Mr. McBath. An- other witness who was present to give testimony was Mr. Eckloff, cashier of the Second National bank of this city. The secrecy with which the names of the wit- nesses has been surrounded is still main- tained. The witnesses from out of town Who were present, acting under instructions, when approached declined to state who they were or where they were from, nor would any of the court house officlals or employes dis- close their identity. As a further safeguard, all the witnesses were assembled in the district attorney's office instead of the room usually set apart for that purpose. Adjourned until tomor- row. May Be No Preliminary. It was stated at the Postoffice depart- ment today that if the grand jury should tomorrow report an indictment against Mr. Machen the preliminary hearing scheduled for Saturday will not be held. His trial i that event will take place in the term beginning next October. Postmaster General Payne sald that there was no foundation for rumors in clr- culation that Investigation of affairs at the department had dlsclosed a large percent- age of routes, particularly in the south, where the receipts fall far below expenses and where carriers do not perform the amount of service for which they are pald. He sald that question has not been taken 5 rearrangement of the divisions of the rural free dellvery service, however, s one of the possible results of the Investigation and the Washington division of special gents which comprises what might be called a “flylng squadron” of Inspectors, who, while reporting direct to the depart- ment, investigate cases in any of the other divisions may be eliminated and these agents transterred to other work. The postmaster general was asked today regarding the contracts for the time clock: the clrcumstances surrounding which have been glven considerable publicity in con- nection with the investigation. Mr. Payne was asked If there was any idea of doing away with these clocks and of substituting time clerks for them. He replied that the government had bought so many of them outright that there were enough to last “for some time to come." ns Are Starvi has recelved a cable from Consul McWade at Canton which says: “Governor Wong telegraphs me that over 1,000,000 natives in Kwang are starving and earnestly appehling for help from American charity.

WILL BE NO STRIKE TONIGHT Conl Companies’ Officials at Wilkes- Barre Have Promised to Be Good. WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 4.—The danger of a strike seems to be already passed, even before the decision of the convention' of miners which Is to meet in Pottsville within ten days. This is due to the stateménts of coal companies’ officials and superintendents that if the miners at their convention should re-elect the three district “presiiénts as thelr representatives on the conclliation board by a majority vote there would be no further objection to thelr eligibility to serve on the board. This action probably will be taken at the coming convention, as the leaders of the mine workers are not desirous of foroing the issue to a suspension of work unless they can find no other alternative.
