The Omaha WAY.

CHICAGO. ILL. Nov. 2l.-Chairman Midg-
ley of the Western freight association mas
been subpenaed to appear before the Fed
eral grand jury at Omaha November 80
% tell what he knows about various
violations of the interstate commerce law.
1t is said this is to be practically continue
ton of the investigation recently begun
in Chicago, and that more conclusive
proofs OF law-breaking will be produced
than any that was brought to light here.
The form of manipulation that has,
Omaha firms is the billing of freight
to Eastern and Southern points,
at Kansas City. The rate to such points is
the same from Omaha and Kansas City. The
allegation is that car is loaded with
say - 900 pounds Of sailed meats
at Omaha and h'''d to New York Sup
posedly it rea New York with the
same load, bu " it arrives there it
contains 25,000 5 OF beef tongues and
cured meats. beside the difference in
weight the car is filed with commodities
taking a higher rate than sailed meats.
The shipment is traced back, and it is
found that the car has been unloaded and
reloaded at, Kansas City without
any change being made in the
billing. Hundreds of thousands of dollars,
lested firms by the practice of this scheme,
which could not, of course,
have been successfully operated without
the assistance or connivance of the railroad
agents. Chairman NIidgely has also re-
