COMMISSION PROBES
DIFFERENTIAL RATES
Fight Between Atlantic Coast Ports
Subject of investigation.


NEW YORK, May 1S.-J. L. Mccall,
of the Minnea polls Chamber of Com
merce, appeared before the interstate
commerce commission which today
commenced an investigation of the diff
ferential freight rates to the seaboard
from the West on merchandise intend
ed for export, and said that after the
preliminaries he would offer an argu-
ment based on the effect of the differ
entails on flour.
Grain rates are chiefly at issue in
the investigation and secondly grain
products, flour, meal, food, etc, but all
export goods are included. Notice was
sent to all the trunk lines and COM
merciaI bodies directly interested in
the investigation, which embraces
traffic by all rail and water and rail
lines between interior points and
North Atlantic ports. Representatives
of trade bodies and railroads of all
parts of the country east of the Mis-
sfssippi river were present when the
commission took up the investigation
today.
Benjamin L. Fairchild, who, with
John G. Carlisle, was present on behalf
of the Merchants Association of New
York, said that New York wanted only
just and equitable rates to all ports
from which rates commercial interests
could make their own choice or favor.
George w. Petit, representing the
Philadelphia Commercial Beach, con-
tended that the commission had no
right to distribute the trade of the
United States: that the constitution
prohibits it. He declared that the diff
ferentials which had been established
by competition should not be disturbed
and that Philadelphia should be al
lowed to retain the territory she con-
quered in the recent rate war.
Arthur G. Brown, speaking for the
Baltimore board of trade and Cham
Der of Commerce, said that Baltimore
relies upon her rights growing out of
natural conditions supplemented by
artificial ones. The Pennsylvania rail-
road, he said, can carry freight cheap
er to Baltimore than it can to New
York, and it's position Of security
should be as much relieved from as
sault as should the Baltimore & Ohio.

OLD SHOPS WILL BE
USED FOR REPAIRS
Great Northern's New Plant at Dale
Street in Full Operation.

The Great Northern shops at Dale
street, completed last year, are now
running with full complement Of
men, and the old shops at Jackson
street, which handled all the work of
the company in this city formerly, are
still running. The locomotive work is
being done at the new shops while the
old ones are to be devoted more es-
pecially to repairs.
The boiler shop has been entirely
transferred to the new shops. The
machine shop at the old shops is still
running but some of the machinery
has been removed. The new machine
shop was fitted up almost entirely
with new machinery of the most mod
ern type. The blacksmith shop is still
running at the old site, but it's work is
limited to repairs. The paint shop and
carpenter shop are running at Jackson
street and other shops of the same
kind are in operation at Dale street
While the amount of building and
repair work handled by the company
at this end Of the line has increased
many fold during the past few years
the new shops, many times the size Of
the old quarters, are ample to accom-
modate all the work needed.
