Won’t Collect for Farmers’ Federation The decision of the Indianapolis Live Stock exchange to refuse the request of the Indiana Farmers' federation that the members of the exchange collect charges to be levied on consignments of livestock for the federation met with universal approval. The federation was notified by letter that the exchange would stand by Its position, previously taken, that charge* would be collected only upon written consent of the original owner or shipper. Under the plan first proposed by the federation, according to local live stoqk dealers, this collection would have applied to all consignments of live stock handled by the commission firms, whether or not the owners or shippers were members of the farmers’ federation.
