THEY SEEK BETTER
FREIGHT RATES
Railroad Commission to Hear
Cases of Alleged Dis
elimination.
SHIPPERS COMPLAIN.
THEY WANT AN EQUALIZATION
OF FREIGHT RATES TO THE
SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST SEC
IONS OF COUNTRY

The Interstate Railroad Commission
will be in session in Indianapolis
next Saturday to hear complaints in
some eighteen or twenty cases of al
legged discrimination in rates to the
detriment of indianapolis shippers.
Requests were made of the Indiana
polls lines for an equalization of rates
to the West and Southwest to the end
that shippers might be more nearly
able to meet the prices of competitors.
The general agents made a strenuous
effort with their connections to COM
ply with these requests. The sltua-
ton, it is said, is one over which In
dianapolis roads have but little con-
troll, from the fact that but few OF
them can make a rate farther west
than Chicago, that being nearly the
limit Of the territory covered directly
by their lines. Rates on freight trav-
cling over the tracks Of other compan-
les must be made by Joint agreement
with the general freight agents of
those lines.
In most cases. it is said. these roads
have their own lines into Chicago and
secure the business Of the manufac-
turers who are enabled to quote low
er price to their customers on account
of the alleged advantage obtained by
the favorable rates complained of by
indianapolis men.
In order that an effective effort
might be made to correct the alleged
abuses the Indianapolis manufacture
ers have formed an organization
which they call the Indianapolis
Freight Bureau. the officers of which
have compiled evidence of the alleged
unfair discrimination in the cases now
before the commission and they will
appear and urge the Justice of their
cause. 1t is considered probable, it
is said, that the commission will or
der some changes III the rates which
will make conformity by the lines con

Advices have been received by the
agents OF the various roads in this city

heretofore been in effect. The rate
now from St. Louis to Texas. New

RIFLE ASSOCIATIONS
NOW IN MANY STATES
National Organization for Promotion
of Better Workmanship Meets
Much Success.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Gratifying
progress is being made by the Nation
al Rifle association in the formation
of State Rifle associations. For more
than 30 years there were only two or
three state associations, and practically
only one-the New Jersey State Rife
association = holding annual competi-
tions. Gradually the different states
began to realize the importance of
state rife associations and the impetus
given to rifle practice by their organ
ization. First came Pennsylvania in
1902, followed by New York, Iowa,
Ohio. and Maryland in 1904. In 1908
the state of Michigan organized and
the following year Colorado, Illinois,
Indiana and Oklahoma came in with
state associations. Washington and
Minnesota fell in line early this year.
General James A. Drain of New
York, president of the National Rifle
association, and formerly adjutant
general of Washington, who has been
on an extended tour of the west; north
west, Pacific coast and southwestern
states, reports the organization of a
number of new associations. Meet
