DETROIT LOSES ITS CASE
Commerce Commission Denies Petition
for StopOfr Privilege for Wool
at Michigan City.

Washington. Nov. 29.-Denying a pc
titiOn for the establishment of a stop-
of privilege in wool at Detroit the in
terstare commerce commission today
announced that il had found that the
present blanket rate of fifty cents a
hundred pounds on wool in the
grease applying from Chicago De-
trOit and other points TO Boston, was
not unduly discriminatory or unreason-
able a applied 10 Detroit. The stop
off privilege sought was for the pur-
pose of storing, grading and re-sack-
Ing.
The commission says the western
carriers as a matter of policy give
Omaha a certain privilege which the
eastern roads deny 10 Detroit, injuring
Detroit to some extent. but The COM
mission adds that il is difficult to see
how that can be remedie1 because tie
carrying lines are not the same and TO
uphold the Detroit claims would justi-
fy or require a wide extension OF the
privilege 10 other points. The commits
sion believes that such privileges
should be curtailed because they are
the Source and aggravaung cause of
many of the most serious complaints"
