TUCSON SHIPPERS
 HAVE GRIEVANCES

TUCSON. Jan. 21.-The Tucson Shippers association will. in few days. file a complaint with the inter state commerce commission at Wash ington against the Southern Pacific railway company in which 1t will be alleged that the eompany's present switching charge Of s2.50 per car is exorbitant. unreasonable and illegal
 The association is composed Of .Tucson's leading freight shippers or ganized fo- the mutual aid and bene- fit of its members. its present presi- dent being Heo Goldschmidt of the Eagle Milling company.
 About two years ago the railroad company established this switching charge of $2.5O per car, and this charge, in the sum total is a heavy burden for the large shippers, who bring in freight in carload lots. This switching charge is additional to the full freight charges made and at present applies to those shippers who have private switches to their warehouses. and it is their conten- ton that the company should do the switching free of charge or at least ar a greatly reduced rate.
 l The interstate commerce commis- sion is the only tribunal having juris- diction of such a controversy be tween shipper and carrier. hence the filing of the complaint with that body. IL has full power in the premises to adjudicate the matter.
 The hearing on the complaint will await its regular order before the commission and it is stated by com petent authority that 1t will be sey. eral months before the case will be heard.
 Attorney s. L. Kingsn will repre- sent the shippers.
