16 JARMERS TO HEEDTHRE(T OF YOAKUM Said That Magnate Gave Them Ultimatum Regarding Rate Fight They Made, RAISE OTHER RATES If the Fanners Contirue Gulf Point Fight He Will Raise Cotton Seed Rate, Special Dispatch. Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 7.—The con ference here yesterday between B. F. Yoakum, head of the Frisco system, and President Loudermilk, of the Tex as Farmers’ union, was of greater sig nificance than was at first believed, according to announcements here today that Yoakum practically delivered .in ultimatum regarding cotton rates and the union officials will accept the sit uation. Yoakum told Loudermilk and D. B. Weill, if the Texas farmers insist upon fighting for reduced rates on cotton shipments to gulf points, his and other Jines will immediately increase the rate of cotton seed shipments to points out side Texas. Sonic time ago A"oakum reduced the latter rate upon request of the Texas union, it is said, and now threatens to restore the former higher rate. Inasmuch as Toxas sold $16,000,- 000 worth of seed in Tennessee and other states last year, it is certain the union will abandon the fight for lower rates to the gulf at the coming hear ing before the railroad commission.
