classifcations and outside commodity rates, out
of business. Winona shippers have naturally
become alarmed at the prospect that this tariff
without any notifications, shall be made efrec-
tive, and a largely attended meeting Of bust
ness men was held yesterday afternoon at the
Arlington clubrooms to consider the situation.
AS a result Of the meeting, President F. J. Me-
giniss of the Board Of Trade was authorized
to appoint committee of five to give the mat
ter careful investigation and then appear be-
fore the railway and warehouse commission to
ask that the freight tariff scheme be so
modified that Winona shall not be Disseminated
against in freight tariffs, and that instead OF
pure distance tariff, competitive rates be given
some consideration in the new adjustment, If
any is made.
Wnona is peculiarly situated, being in the ex-
IRENE southeastern corner Of the state. and
would probably be more adversely affected by
the proposed distance tariff If adopted than any
other point in the state. Such a tariff would
place Wincna jobbers at great disadvantage
at points than 100 miles west of here
which is a territory in which large share OF
the jobbing business from this city is done. Wi
mona is the most important city in the state
