to protest against the application Of Chicago

cago or Milwaukee to tho Missouri River
should be no lower from northern Wisconsin

The same question came up three months
ago at a meeting OF the Western Freight AS
ISOLATION on q request OF the Alton for author
ity to make the same rates for all manufac-
turers located a an equal distance from Chi
cago. The Chicago. st. Paul and Kansas City
and other Western roads agreed to this. but
Chairman Midgely ruled 1t out OF order. do
claring that 1t would be Just as reasonable to
say that the same rates should apply from
Cincinnati. The rates from northern Wiscon-
sin territories are made BY the, Northwestern
and the Milwaukee and st. Paul roads. Other
Western lines are In favor Of treating the man.
