Now he would accept grain from anyone, even from a farmer, who sought to make up a car of grain from, among his neighbors, nd would accept a consignment of graiit from anyone. He said: I have never lost dollar by a shovel man, but have lust from regular dealers. I waa manager of the Omaha Elevator company for fifteen years and resigned on . account of my health. I was afterwards solicited by Mr. Wells, Mr. Montgomery and Mr. George Peavey to take charge of the company. did not leave the company from any other cause than, my own volition and solely on account of poor health. There wna a rumor that I was asked to quit.- This Is untrue, for the records of the company will show that a resolution was "adopted by It com mending my management, which was sc compsnled by a check: for U.600. I after wards became a member vi director of the Omaha Grain '.exchange.- It Interest was to advance Qrnaha as a market center. I no mu mucn nuinees as any oiner rrom-' mission firm tn Omaha. I think the switch ing charge of from $1 to 17 made by the rallreads la for the purpose of discrimina tion against Omaha, and from the evi dence produced at this present hearing I understand that It Is restored back to the elevator ring.

"We have tur troubles as commttmlon mer chsnts. and ! recall a recent instance where the Union Pacific required seven days to transfer a car for me to Council Bluffs. I think this trouble comes through the Inter ference of the elevator ring. A committee of. the Grain exchange expects to take these mutters up and Investigate them. The railroads were la the past antagonistic to track buyers, but are not so now. I think that the elevators would like to see matters better eauulised, but tho elevators do not care to be the loaders. In any movement against the railroads. There waa an effort mnde to boycott me In Chicago. T received this Information In Chicago, while, there nd was told that Mr. Cowgill and Mr. Updike were in Chicago at the time to influence the J. Roaenbaum Grain company to cease buying from me. . I saw these men In Chicago at the time and believed they were there for that purpose then. All of the leadlns grain dealers now In On in h a were within the last twenty years scoop shovel houses.' I think the i cents paid by the railroads , to the elevators Is dons to protect business out along their llnea. I do think that there la an agreement now prevailing to hold down prices among the elevator men In order that they psay make a S and f cents margin on, corn snd oats and about a g-cent margin on wheat. T know that for sixteen years no transfer charges were paid In Omaha. If transfer charges have to be ' paid the elevators should pay for It. . I think that the clean ing rate at the Great Western elevator t H . cent per bushel. It would be de. cldedly beneficial to Omaha if the allow ance charges were cut off. The crops could be handled without the big elevators. The biggest com crop ever known in Nebraska was some yeers go. when the production was 3UO,000,000 bushels, snd It was very comfortably handled without the aid of big elevators." Association TirseJ Warratl. Thomas D. Worrell, land dealer and farmer of Lincoln, told that he left the grain business in rbruary last. He said: "I left it because It was not profitable to me.- I had been in the grain business. sines lspn. I started ss a scoop shoveler and later became a minority stockholder In s grain corporation which owned a line of elevators. I helped build up the Nebraska Grain Deiders' ssaoclatloi and then It turned and smote me. This association wss organised In 1W or 18W and was a veritable grain comolne.

I then closed a deal In conjunction with a couple of men at Klgln with the ' Nya-Schnelder-Fowler company for a farmers' elevator, bought it and then the Nebraska Grain Dealers' association proceeded to boycott me." They would not buy grain of me, or If they did they bid less than to others, so this was a big loss to me and subsequently mined me. I then brought suit against forty-five or forty-six of the association. Tills was In June. I!. 1 believe the suit is still pend ing, though I . did some time ago sign a stipulation for.

Mr. Marble.: "We have received the tip from the. other fellows at Chicago." Mr. Worrall: "The reason I stlpulat'd to withdraw the stilt was that first It was better proposition, snd second was that I was dead broke.

Going of Mlnden stated that he was connected with the Farmers' Co-Operatlve Shipping association, which owned thirty eight elevators, the line extending south to Billings' Okl., and north to Rising City, Neb. The head offices of the association were at Ku'nsas City. The association did not enter Into pooling arrangements with competing line elevstors and does not con cede a part ot. the grain of any locality to competitors, nor does it raise the price of grain., Each competitor tries to buy Its prorate ' share. The capital stock of the concern Is $110,000, and money borrowed on mortgages to operate the concern will bring It up to $125,000 more. The expense of op erating the entire line of elevators is about C7S per day, "We buy, grain on a strictly he did not ceaae track buying In compe tition with the Vpdike company that "we will put in a new department store at River Sioux, where your, store Is.

He explained the transaction In effect that bis company had bought sn elevator from Mr. Murray wlth the understanding sthat he was to discontinue buying grain at that place, but after a while Murray resumed buying grain, and this letter was sent to dlssusde him from doing so. i Asked as to ths amount of Senator Mil lard's holdings in the Vpdike. Grain com pany, Mr. Vpdike. stated that Senator Mil lard held $10,000 stock In the company, equivalent to ltO shares. Wtnui Gets Hit, Too. Mrs. K. A.

She had been In the grain business since the death of her hus oa.nd, in IKK.- 8he first operated a shovel house at Platte Center, and had no end of trouble getting cars and suffered strong competition from the line elevator men at that and other points. If she had depended on the grain burfnesa for a livelihood she could not have remained there. The . Ne braska Grain Dealers association was In force at this time and made her all tha trouble It could, she said. She built an ele vator at Platte Center four years ago and the one at Karnov the following year. Then the railroads treated her fairly Well, but the competition against her by the other line elevators Is as bsd as ever. However, she Is not having serious trouble now. Rudolph Beal of the Nebraska Hay and Grain company of Omaha, testified that the Nye-Schnelder-Fowler agents' once came to Um and aeked him to quit buying grain at Bennington. They did' not threaten him, but merely wanted him to quit. He still continues to buy there, and has no trouble now. This) wss four or five years sgo. Ko Allowances Graated. C. G.
