advances.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Dismissing a
complaint filed by the Omaha .Grain ex
change against the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad, alleging unreasonable rates from
parts of South akota, Minnesota and
Iowa to Omaha as compared with rates
from the same points to other markets, the
Interstate Commerce commission announced
that competitive conditions do not affect
Omaha as they do Minneapolis.
The Omaha grain dealers complain they
are not able to get a fair share of the grain
originating In Houth Dakota between th
Missouri river and the Minnesota state 11ns,
points In southwestern Minnesota and
northwestern Iowa. They desire to have
the k rail i shipped to Omaha, not particu
larly for milling or consumption, but for
reshlpment east and south. ,
The- rf Uroads claim that the combination
of ratea which make up the through rates
to the south and southeast are substanti
ally in favor of Omaha as compared with
Minneapolis, where the distance Is the
same and, In territory nearer to Omaha,
differentials in favor of Omaha substntlally
the same as those In favor of Minneapolis,
where the distance la leas to Minneapolis.
The comthieslon says the rates to Minne
apolis are strongly Influenced or controlled
by competitive conditions which do not
likewise affect Omaha rates and that the
Minneapolis milling Interest demands and
the IntereHts of the Minneapolis lines whlcl
do not reuch Oa.aha, create substantially
dissimilar conditions.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1. Mounted poiici

In three sections of "hlcago today, only to
be dumbfounded when met by obdurate
roups of well-known club women and o-
lety women, wiio produced etinraved call-
ng cards at police stations In lieu of ball
muds. It was a new experience for th
police and plainly confused them.
A score of these women champions of
he garment workers who faced today's
rioting were taken Into cuMody. They
were immediately released, however, when
heir Identities became known to the po
lice. One of them was Injured when struck
by a policeman's club, but her name did
not become known, as she was hurriedly
laced In an automobile, and taken to her
horn.
Most of the women of prominence In
volved In today' demonstrations wer
garbed an working girls and for thin tea
son the police could not distinguish thetu
from strikers until after arrests had been
made.
Five Hundred In Demonstration.
Riotous and spectacular scenes developed
n the downtown district on the North
Side and on the West hide. More than fi00
men and women enguged In the downtown
demonstration, which was broken up by
the police after considerable trouble. A
they left their headquarters In IjUl Sail
street the strikers and their sympathiser
clanged bell, blew whistles and tooted
horns.
The lln of March proceeded Into th
wholesale district near th river, passing
various large tailoring establishments,
where employe wer beckoned to Join tho
strikers. More than 2,("0 took part In on
of several demonstration on the Wet
side. In each Instance women headed th
crowds of strikers and - their friends,
I would tuke my oath thut we were
doing absolutely nothing beyond th law,"
said Miss fallen Starr, one of the club
women, who haa become a strike picket.
"Th only persons who were violating th
law were the policemen, who treated us
roughly gnd hurt dreadfully with their
clubs the poor boys w were leading
peacefully past the shops, if there had
been a real riot this morning, and It
would not have taken much to have mad
one, It would have ben incited alto
gether by the pollc." ,
Volunteer Picket Indignant.
Miss S. M. Franklin, another of th
volunteer pickets, was Indignant because
of the manner In which she had be a.
treated by the police.
"I know that they would not hav let
me go If I had not presented my card,"
said Mis Franklin. "They seemed to
think that I was a particularly dangerous
character. Perhaps It would have been
a good plan to let them take me to Jail
and just prove to them how little legal
foundation they have to stand on."
Promises from well-to-do women to ope
their homes to destitute striking girl, vol
unteer for picket service from among
women well known as oclal and club lead
er and pledge of any assistance within
their power from many other women wer
received by Mr. Raymond Robins, presi
