James Butler, grain broker, yesterday addressed a meeting of the members of the Inde pendent Farmers' Elevator company at Benedict. Mr. Butler haa a scheme to form combination of farmers' Independent ele vator companies, whereby 500 Independent farmers' grain elevators will agree to meke all their consignments to him, mak ing a combination of elevators In the corn nd hard win'er wheat belt tbat will be competitors to the Peavev line of 400 ele vators. The farmers gave good attention to the address of Mr. Butler, but took no vote. In talking of the matter today some of tho farmer -point out that If all the consign ments were made to Mr. Butler he would be one of the largest grain brokers in the country. If Mr. Butler's plan had been more of the "mutual benefit" order it Is believed they would have been ready to have taken some action. Farmers of York county believe that the Independent elevator will be the means of all farmers In this county securing at least 2 cents more a bushel for their grain here after. After considerable delay they have Just completed the elevator at Benedict and the Burlington railroad has notified tbem that it will build a switch and sidetrack without charge and grant them equal fa vors with other customers. It was through the columns of The Bee that general publicity was given of what seemed to be a refusal of the Burlington railroad to allow the farmers' Independent elevator to be built along Its right-of-way in Benedict. The farmers charge that the elevator combine, thinking they could shut them out, tried to prevent the railroad company from granting this privilege. It was only a few days after the article was published In The Bee that the Burlington sent official here to survey a sidetrack and assure the farmers tbat at no time did they Intend to discriminate against them. The farmer of York county charge that there Is a grain pool In York county and that each day a price I agreed npon. If this Is true the on elevator in Benedict will probably make a big change In pool price and th elevator property In York county which ha been selling for five times actual worth will depreciate to It actual value.
