SHIPPERS TO SUE RAILROADS.
Chicago Grain Dealers Charge Dis
elimination by Eastern Lines.

Chicago, Oct. I.-Unless the Eastern
railroads rescind or. at least, greatly
modify by Monday night their rule
against receiving grain at Buffalo from
Great Lake vessels. Chicago grain deal
ers VIII join those in New York in Fed
eral court proceedings to compel conces-
sions.
The matter was fully discussed at a
meeting of the local dealers to-day aud
a reference OF the matter mas been made
to New York lawyers. Tie proposed suit
Will be brought at Buffalo. The shippers
are confident that they can convince the
court that they are victims Of gross dis
elimination.
The first proposition WAS to take the
matter before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. That body is so busy, how
ever. with other matters that it was
feared the proceedings would be attend
ed with serious delay. Immediate relief
IS deemed imperative.
The railroads attitude is declared by
the shippers to be a deliberate attempt
to deprive them of the natural advan-
tages Of lake transportation and TO be a
great injury To the Chicago market. If
the grain movement can be sufficiently
delayed, it is argued, the roads viii not
only get more grain and longer haul
but the benefit os the higher rates which
invariably follow the close Of lake
traffic.
Railroad officials here say the BUfaIo
embargo is solely due 10 ear shortage.
