DENIES DISCRIMINATION
The Union Pacific Explains Its Rela-
 tion to Elevators

Washington, D. C.. May 22.-The Union Pacific railroad today filed with the interstate commerce commission it's answer to the order of the commits sion instituting an investigation of the alleged rebates of the Union Pacific to elevators. The Union Pacific admits that it has an agreement with the Mid land Elevator company at Kansas City and the Omaha Elevator company at Council Bluffs, both companies being representatives of Peavey & company, under the terms of which agreements the Union Pacific pays 1A cents per 100 pounds for receiving, transferring and handling all grain which passes through these elevators. The Union Pacific says these elevators are abso- Iutely necessary to the economical and profita ble handling of it's grain busi- ness and that instead of building and operating the elevators it arranged with the representatives of the Peavey concern to construct and operate them and furnish the necessary facilities for handling all grain shipped over and consigned to the Union Pacific lines.
 I Ne road denies that the allowance so paid is excessive or greater than similar charges generally imposed for like services, nor that it subjects other grain shippers to unjust discrimination. nor that it discriminates in favor of the Peavey company, nor enables the latter to obtain transporta ton of their grain at net rates or charges less than the regular tariffs. The road says the interstate commerce law is not be- ing violated and asks that proceedings be dismissed.
