TO DISCUSS FREIGHT RATES
Illinois Manufacturer VIII Tender
Banquet 20 Associates to Consider
transportation Interests.

CHICAGO, March ~23.-Hundreds Of manu-
facturers and shippers Of the central states
have been invited to attend a dinner to be
given at the Auditorium hotel Tuesday
evening, April 1, by the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association. for the purpose OF dis
cussing competition In railroad rates. I"
President Charles H.. Deere Of Moline will
preside and Charles A. Prouty of Vermont,
= member Of the interstate COM
Dittee, will deliver the principal address.
There has been dissatisfaction among
manufacturers and shippers over transport
tation rates since January 1, when the Cen
trail Freight association issued a schedule
OF rates revising the classification Of ma
terlals and merchandise. The Illinois Manu-
facturers' association filed a protest against
the new schedule at the time, asserting
that the revised classification was in reality
an increase Of transportation charges on
mixed carload lots.
While the dinner is intended for a full
discussion OF the subject OF railroad rates
by practical men there is little doubt that
the gathering will make a vigorous protest
against the existing order Of things and
demand a radical revision Of the present
rates.
