PACKERS FILE A PROTEST
Claim Discrimination in Rates in Fa-
vor of Certain Cities.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-The commercial
organizations of st. Joseph, Omaha
and Sioux City are besieging the rail-
roads with protests against an in
crease in the rates on packing house
products and dressed meats from
those cities to Chicago and ST. Louis
and the seaboard unless similar In
creases are made effective from Kan
sas City. 1t is declared that an ap-
peal will be made to the interstate
commerce commission to prevent q
discrimination in the rates in favor Of
Kansas City.
Officials of all the roads, with the
exception of the Alton and the Wa
bash, insist that they cannot be ex-
pected to carry traffic at unremunera-
tive rates just because the Alton and
the Wabash wish to do SO. They also
say that they are willing to submit
the question of the reasonableness OF
the advanced rates to the interstate
commerce commission.
