Jnrlsrn Sanborn nf t!ie T"nitcd Prates circuit
court to icr the chancery ''a.ses Involved
In the receivership matter of the Chicas"
Great Western railroad, took the testimony
of fo ir of t lie princiPHl witnesses in the
case Involving the seniority rights of the
eng'neers on the Fort Dodge division of the
Great Western, twenty-six of whom had
filed a petition of intervention in the re-
eivrslilp proceedings The hearing;, which
was held at the federal building, was ad-
journed in the afternoon and will be re
sumed June 17 In St. Paul.
The petition of intr ntion waa filed by
J. R. Price and twenty-rive other engineers
on the Fort Dodge division, who com
plained that, when the Great Western ab
sorbed the Mason City A Fort Dodge road
it brought seven engineers from other divi
sions of the system and gave them paa
senger runa which should have been given,
it la claimed, to engineers who had been
employed on the Mason City A Fort Dodge
line; that this action on the part of the
Great Western waa in violation of the
agreement between It and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. The Intervenors
also claim that they have been unable to
secure the enforcement of their aeniority
righte through the general committee of
adjustment of the Great Western division
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neer. One of the principal points Involved In the
controversy Is whether the Mason City &
Fort Dodge line waa 'absorbed" by the
Great Western or whether It waa taken
over by the Great Western aa a new road.
The Intervening engineer contend that the
line waa absorbed, while the general com
mittee of adjustment takes the position that
it wu a new line taken by the Great West
ern aa part of ita syalem.
George W. Markham of the legal depart
ment of the Chicago Great Weatern repre
sented, the receivers at the hearing, while
George W. Hok of St. Paul represented
tha general committee of adjustment and
conducted the defense. The Intervening en
gineers were represented by Attorney L Is.
FMeklnger of this cltr.

Wills la an Iowa man and ran his first
erarin In the Northwestern yards in Coun

tFrom a Siaff Correspondent
DE3 MOINES. May a. Special. Unless
the State Railroad commission can find
some means for giving relief to the C. J.
ilolinan A Ero. her Brtok company of Sar
gent Bluffs, near Sioux City, an institu
t.ou that has been established for forty
one years, and in which Is invested ilOP.Ofln.
will have to close its doors permanently.
The company has made application to the
commission for relief. Ita plana Is seven
miles from tn heart of Sioux City and for
years the ra;!mads have given it a switch
ing charge of IS a car. Now they have
determined that because it Is outaide the
city limit a of Sioux City it Is a haul and
not a switch, hut the brick factories at
Rlversnte. which Is aomrt the same dis
tance away from the center of Sioux City
In another direction, but happens to be In
side the city limits, la arm given the
switching charge and a charge, too, of
only KM a car. Thia discrimination ef
fectually closes the doors to the brick
plants of Sargent Bluffs. Th- change in
rate was made out recently ana the brick
planta are now idle..
The Holtnan plant was established forty-
one years ago ana is a Dig institution.
There la Inverted In it EAmn. Twenty
years ago another brick plant was estab
lished there and there ia tnveated in it
about tBii.ono. Each plant haa a capacity
of fAOrt) brick a day. Sioux City uses
3tt.000.rtno brick a year and the Sargent
Bluffs plant cannot longer compete for the
S'oux City trade, for It would cost it aixiut
H3 a car to get brick to Sioux City, while
it costs the Rivrside people but J2..V0.
Furthermore, if the Riverside people ship
through Sioux City to some other town
under the present rules of the railroad
commission the switching charge of 11M
Is absorbed by the railroads, but not. so
with the Sargent Bluffs plant, which
amounts to a further discrimination.
Tbe only difference between the- two lo
calities is that one is just inside the city
limits of Sioux City and the other just
outaide. The commission haa promised to
take the matter up at once, but it is not
entirely certain that it can give relief.
There is a technicality in the law which
may prevent the board remedying tha
matter.
