ton of a rate of 6 cents per 100 pounds on OH from Whiting, Ind, to East St. Louis, H., claiming that it was a secret rate and that in the matter of waybilling by the railroads manipulation was re- sorted to with the Knowledge of the Stan dard Oil officials.
 About 1890 when the refinery had been established at Whiting, Ind. the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railway named to the Standard oil company a rate of 6 cents per 100 pounds. and issued and sent to the Standard oil company a rate sheet from Chicago, Ill.,, to East St. Louis, III. At the same time it advised the Standard oil company that under it's rules the state rate of cents per 100 pounds would apply not only from Chicago proper. but from all points, both in Illinois and Indiana, and within the so-called Chicago switch ing limits, and that under such rules 1t would absorb the switching charge per car from Whiting to it's own rails. thus applying the cents rate from Whiting to East St. Louis. Subsequently the Chicago and Alton and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois solicited a share of the business at the same rate, and the business was d- vided among three roads. For several years the three roads applied the cents rate Whiting under their widely known rule understood by every carload shiper in Chicago and vicinity. viz: that Chica- go rates would apply to and from all points within the switching limits. A number of these points are just across the border in Indiana and are the seat of important industries, viz: Whiting, East Chicago. Hammond and Indiana Harbor. The application of Chicago rates to and from these points within the switching limits is of long usage, and concerns not only the shipment of oil from Whiting to points in Illinois, but the shipments of many other lines of goods to similar points.
 Several years ago the railroads covered the matter more specifically by filing with the interstate commerce commission. so-called application sheets providing that any rate named from Chicago to point in Illinois or beyond down to minimum of cents per 100 pounds in carloads would apply from all points in Illinois or Indiana within the Chicago switching limits.

Defect in Meat Inspection Bill.
Washington, June 23.-That there
is a fatal defect in the meat inspec-
tion provision of the agricultural bill
as it came from the house is the
opinion of Senator Bailey as ex-
pressed in the senate today when
consideration of Procter's motion to
send the bill to conference was re
sumed. Senator Bailey said that the
clause relating to the inspection OF
stock entering the packing houses
gives the police supervision that the
Federal government cannot exercise.
He suggested that the provision be
made to read so as TO make it un-
lawful TO transport from one state
to another any beef or beef products
that have not been inspected as pro
yided by law.
Mr.. Bailey expressed himself as
anxious to secure the most drastic
inspection, because he was satisfied
fidence and save the beef business
from almost utter annihilatiOn. The
interests of the cattle growers were
represented by Mr.. Warren. He con
tended that the government should
pay the cost of inspection, and said
that if the cost should be assessed
against the packing houses they
would simply transfer it to the pro-
ducers He said it was an 'imputa-
tion upon the Legislators to come af-
Ter u.s." to suggest that future con-
crosses will not increase the appro-
priation if it be found necessary. He
called attention to the fact that the
government had appropriated money
for gypsy moth determination and
other plaques.
Mr. Beveridge expressed the opin
ion taat every industry that needs
inspection should pay for it
In reply to numerous Interruptions
Mr.. Warren said that it was arran
nonsense to say that future con
crosses will not be wise enough te
deal with increased expenses out o.
increased revenues. He said that he
expected future senators to be as
wise as himself, and almost as wise
as the senator from Indiana.
Later the senate agreed to sent
to conference the agricultural appro
priation bill containing the meat in
spection bill.
