STOCK YARD FEES.
Arguments Have Been Begun In the U. S.
Circuit Court

Chicago May 1.-Arguments were begun
in the United States circuit court to-day
in the demurrers filed by the Western
railroads to the charges of the interstate
commerce commission. The question at
issue Is the legality of the terminal fee
which is charged by railroads on every
carload of cattle entering the stock yards.
The fee of 81 which is exacted by the rail-
roads on every car and paid by the ship
pers, was originally made against the
railroad companies by the stock yards for
the use of its tracks. This averaged
about 20 cents per car and the railroads
retaliated by fixing the 50 charge. The
interstate commerce commission declared
that the tax was unreasonable and that
it was a discrimination against the ship
pers entering the Chicago stock yards.
The arguments will continue for several
days.
