Discrimination in Rates in Favor Of
Chicago Charged.

Charging Ave railroads with discrimi-

Milwaukee in the grain trade. the cham
Der Of commerce of Milwaukee today filed
with the interstate commerce commission
two complaints asking the government to
require the same through rates on all
kinds of grain from stations on the de-
PENDANT roads in Iowa, Minnesota and
South Dakota to Milwaukee as to the
Chicago markets.
One complaintcharges that the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific in connection with
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul. en-.
force the same as the Chicago through
rates on wheat and barley from the three
states named to Milwaukee, but refuse to
apply these to corn. oats and rye, thus
giving undue preference to the Illinois
mart. The other complaint is against the
Illinois Central, the Chicago. Milwaukee
and St. Paul and the Chicago and North
western. 1t says these roads had through
rates on all grain from the three states
named to Milwaukee Identical with the
tariff to Chicago. but that August last
the defendant roads arbitrarily Cancelled
the then existing Milwaukee through rates
and advanced the rate to Milwaukee.
which, the complaint alleges, Is unjust
and prohibitory.
