IT'S LINE OF DEFENCE BEFORE THE INTER-
STATE COMMISSION INDICATED.
Chicago. Aug. o (speciaD.-Thc filing Of formal
complaint in Washington IS the first step In what bids
fair to be desperate fight between the Alton and the
other Kansas City roads The lines built west OF
Kansas City by the Rock Island and Burlington are
turning over a valuable business TO their main lines
The Atchison has built its santa Fe extension to
Chicago and naturally over to II all the con
troabe business. There were only two things to be
done by the Alton. either TO own or control Western
extension from Kansas City or 10 get part OF the
business brought into Kansas City by Chicago lines
having western extensions. Although It is believed
that the Alton will lease or buy the Kansas Pacific
on the Missouri Kansas and Texas, the other horn Of
the dilemma was also seized and the Alton gave notice
that on Kansas City wcstbound roads, which which it
had no rrorating ranccmcnts, 1t would pay local
rates TO Kansas City and then accept as its rate 10
Chicago an amount which added TO tho Western local
would equal the through rate quoted by the original
line The Interstate Commerce Commission must
decide whether or not traffic brought I'm from
west of Kansas City and destined for
the East IS 10 be considered through or
local business in Kansas City If taken out by road
other than :he which brought It in. The whole
railroad world is interested in the decision, as affects
every line. In regard TO the other charges in the
complaint Vice President McMulin said:
I've leased 400 stock cars to the American Live
stock Commission Company, and had a perfect right
to do So They were our own properly and the
Rock Island itself got association ruling that there
was no objection to a road easing It's cars. We can't
gain any undue advantage from he lease, as the cars
are nearly all IN Use west of Kansas City. OF the
few which come East, the Wabash and Rock Island
and Santa Fe haul many as We do The only other
charge made against us, except the one Of reducing
local from Kansas City 20 make the same through
CHARGED by other lines, IL that we have reduced
rates locally. OF course We reduced rates. but we
did II, a. We said the time, 20 meet manipulated
