REGONSIGNMENT IS
GIVEN A HEARING
Grain Men Charge Discrimination
by Railroads Before Illinois
Commission.
INTERSTATE EARNINGS YEAR.
Annual Report Will Show Gross
$l,711,7od,200, but a Decrease in
the Surplus Wabash Award3
Contracts.
Reconslgnment in Bast St Louis was the
subject of a hearing before the Railroad
ariu? Warehouse Commission ot Illinois, at
the Merchants' Exchange in St. Louts yes
terday. Grain men and railroad men, and counsel
for both, were present from 10 a, m. until 6
p. m. Evidence was taken and arguments
were made. The commissioners expressed
satisfaction with the testimony, but de
sired time in which to consider tho argu
ments. The points of lawjnvohed will be sub
mitted in brief to the commission, and a
decision as to whether the rallroadi are
entitled to the extra charge of J2 for recon
slgnment, will be forthcoming in about ten
days.
The reconslgnment movement was be?un
by the railroads at Kansas City. The action
of the inaugurating lines was fought by the
Kansas City Transportation Bureau. Com
missioner Trlckett threatened to take the
matter into the courts. Finally tho fight
went before the Missouri Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, and the commis
sion decided in favor of the railroads. Tho
reconslgnment charge was put into effect
in St. Louis, Mo. St. Louis merchants pro
tested, and the railroads followed by mak
ing tho charge effectlie In East St. Louis
Discrimination was charged by the grain
men of St. Louts. Mo., who claimed that,
with the reconslgnment charge in effect In.
St. Louis, Mo., and not on the East Side,
St. Louis elevators and mills would be at a
disadvantage. With the insertion of the
word, "elevatori" in the commission's rul
ing, it was thought the St. Louis, Mo , deal
ers would be satisfied. But the matter of
anv rhnrcro nil morA than formerlv was
still fought. And now the East St. Louis
rrnln m.n nrnhtf etinrtrfnir rtlsprimlnnUnn
against that point in favor of points outsido
ot the East St. Louis switching limit, or in
favor ot Louisville and other Southeastern
cities.
To make this extra charge hold for the
movement of earn after delivery to desti
nation, it is probable that the railroads may
move to put In the reconslgnment charge at
ail terminal points, thus In a measure off
setting the charge of discrimination.
To James S. Neville, chairman, and Arthur
L. French, the commissioners present at
yesterday's hearing, the subject of the hear
ing was stated to be the reconslgnment of
grain, gram products ana nay at East St.
Louls The matter was brought before tho
commission at the request of the St. Louis
Traffic Burerau, of which E. S, Tompkins
is commissioner.
On November 1, 1902, a regular switching
and reconslgnment charge of a minimum of
$2 per car was made, effective on all com
modities within the switching limits of St.
Louis and East St. Louis. That nrdfr
canceled an arrangement which the rail-
roads and thft AlprnnantS Exchansm Vtnrl
made. The old arrangement was that all
cars of oats, corn, wheat and rye re
ceived, not reconslgned to elevators or
specific track delivery, wnicn were ordered
before arrival, should be held on track for
inspection and sale until 5 p. m. of the
dav following ri.lK pi-y nf notie.i nf nrrliml
tic
If by that time cars were ordered to some
destination within tho yard limits of the
comnanv. thpv shnnlrt bn spnt to such nolnr
company, they should bo sent to such point-?
wimoai extra charge, it oraereu alter 6
p. m. of tho day following delivery of no
tice of arrival, the usual switching chnrgo
was effective.
The gralnmen claim that "within the
switching limits or East St. Xouls" Is dis
criminative, in that cars of grain destined
beyord the switching limits were not sub
jected to a reconslgnment charge.
W. B Harrison. John E. Hall. T. B. Mor
ton and G. Sears testified as to the manner
of making1 these charges, the point of
which was to show a lack of unlformits
.

Since the fight was Tiegun. however, the

Managers State Clerks' Waxes Are
Resrnlated by Supply and Demand.
Managers ot the railroads In St. Louis
state that there Is no plan for a general
raise in the salaries of the clerks employed,
but that the roads are gradually Increasing
the number of men working under the civil
service rule, and that this rule works to
the advantage of all ambitious employes.
However, it is many months, and even
j ears, between promotions, and the clerks
express a wish to share in the prosperity
of the railroads.
The contention of the railroads Is that
the cost of living, not only to the emploje.
but. also, to the railroad, is much higher, is
usually upheld by the railroad clerk, who,
as a rule, Is loyal and a defender of all
railroad practices. Railroad managers con
tend that supply and demand, to a great ex
tent, regulate the wage of the clerk, stat
ing that applications are received dally,
and that for every position open more than
half a dozen applications are received.
Passes and holidays, with no loss of sal
ary, are counted by the clerks in the total
of their salary.
While there Is some discontent and clerks
are frequently heard to say that they are
weak in making demands because of a lack
of organization, it Is evident that close as
sociation with the railroad officials has not
strengthened the union sentiment with
them. At least, that Is the impression left
from outward exprttslon. There Is a com
plaint, now stronger than ever, because of
the raises to the un'on employes, but no
organized effort is being made to secure a
raise In salary, because there are many
clerks who are contented with their pros
pects, awaiting promotion, and hoping for
more money with it. It Is a fact, however,
that they have not shared In the "Increased
cost of living" raise given to other em
plojps. Railroads have made no announce
ment of such a raise.

A FALSE HEART.
Coffee Does Sot Let It Beat Tras.
"Coffee served me a very hard tarn about
two j ears ugo- My doctor said I had chron
ic dyspepsia, with serious heart and nerv
ous trouble, and nothing would cure me un
less I gave up coffee," said Miss Hattla
Williams of Birmingham. Ala.
"My stomach got so bad that I could not
eat any solid food without. Its. nauseating
me. and I was so nerv ous 1 could not tleep
and my heart was ln a dreadful condition.
I had heard a, great deal about Postutn
Food Coffee and how much good people had
derived from changing from coffee to Pos
tum. soone day I sent to the grocer for a
package.
"The first cun I drank helped me. for It
removed all the gas from my stomach, or
perhaps the quitting of coffee produced that
result; at any rate, ln less than a week
there was a wonderful change; no more
restless nights; no more pains around my
heart, that made me think' I had heart
trouble; no more sick stomach. This was
two years ago I am now entirely well and
Fostum cured me. I found It was not medi
cine I needed, but proper food and nourish
ment and to quit coffee entirely.
"My brother-in-law (a coffee-drinker) mi
very sick with stomach trouble and all M
could eat was the white of an egg. I In
sisted on his trying Postum. He said tha
first cup he drank soothed his stomach and
was nourishing; in a few days he was able
to eat solid food again, and now he usta It
altogether and does not use coffee.
"My next-door neighbor, another coffee
drlr.ker. had suffered with catarrh of the
stomach, and for months could not cat
anything was Just living on beef tea. I
carried her some Postum and gave her di
rections for making it. and now she can eat
anything she wants and It does not hurt
her. She says she feels better than aha
has for ten j-ears.
"I could tell you of dozens of peopla
who have been benefited by leaving off cof
fee and drlnktng Postum. "It has done mar
so much good I tell everybody to use It I
have been using It now for two years and
my digestion Is fine, my complexion clear
and every---one says I look ten years
younger."
