While the state rates have been

there practically has been no control
over interstate rates." says the COM
plant. ''The lack of federal control

of dollars. The Iowa farmer, In order

Answer of Railroads.
Among the contentious of the rail-
roads in the contest is that the Iowa
shippers are not the real opponents
Of the existing rate, but that the com
mission houses at the Union stock
yards in Chicago are the actual seek
ers of a reduced rate in order to IN
crease the shipments from Iowa to
| Chicago and discourage the use by
the Iowa stockmen of the markets
| further west.
The railroad interests and independ-
ent packers of Iowa charge that the
Chicago commission houses have used
the Corn Belt Meat Producers associ-
alton as blind The accusation was
resented and denied yesterday after
noon by A. L. Ames. president of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers associa-
tion and a member Of the Cooperative
Live Stock and Commission company,
while he was testifying on the wit
ness stand.
George H. Crosby, general freight
agent for the Chicago Burlington and
Quincy road, asserted on the witness
stand that the Iowa shippers have
much easier market in Iowa, at Oma-
ha and Kansas City than In Chicago
and declared any reduction in the
rates would result in a discrimina-
ton against the shippers of Missouri
and Kansas. Now, he declared, the
Iowa stock raisers have more markets
than the stockmen of the western
states.

Chicago. Feb. is. - An attack was
made by Corn Belt Meat. Producers
association before Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty yester-
day on the railroads doing freight
business in the middle west. Members
of the organization declared that the
companies charged higher tariffs from
points in Iowa to Chicago than they
did for equal distances in Illinois,
Railroad men in answer contended
that the association was used for a
blind for the commission houses of
the Union stockyards. They said that
any reduction in the rates would be
discrimination against the shippers
of Missouri and Kansas, the Iowa
shippers having an easier market in
Omaha and Kansas City than in Chi

Competition Has Disappeared
" iIhe complaint in part follows:
/. There was time when COMPETE
ton existed between the railroads,
which helped to reduce rates as traffic
increased and facilities for handling
|, improved. But railroads were few in
!. number and they were able to effect
mutual agreements and combinations
funtil the present time when in this
territory the last vestige of competi.
, tion in rates has passed away
Today these rates are fixed by a
little group of men meeting in a back
4 room in Chicago, who levy tax upon
the traffic of the country amounting
Ito millions of dollars annually. Their
decisions upon these matters in the
past have proved just as final and
binding as though determined by a
reigning monarch"
