Elevator Monopoly Debate Stirs Manitoba and Northwest
Manitoba and Northwest lawmakers back a bill to abolish the elevator monopoly affecting grain shipments from flat warehouses. The Free Press and CP era leaders clash over whether a monopoly exists, with farmers blamed for high costs as grain men defend cooperation. Manitoba officials cite existing competition while warning the system links traders to rail interests. The discussion touches Yukon rail plans, provincial figures like Mr. Roblin and Mr. Greenway, and potential Chief Justice considerations for British Columbia.
