the commission that are from to 5
cents higher on shipments from Mis-
souri, river points and ST. Paul than
had before been in effect. These rates
are now being used, despite the pro-
rests of the interests at Sioux City

jointly with the Wabash railroad.

same rate on dressed meat from Sioux

provided that the rate should continue

now stands, the rate TO Chicago on
