INQUIRY IS BEGUN

(National News Association)
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept. II.
What is regarded as one of the most
important freight rate investigations
ever conducted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission was inaugurated
here today with the initial hearing for
the taking of evidence in regard to the
rates on live stock, packing house pro-
ducts and fresh meats. The inquiry is
to be a wide one, the purpose Of the
commission being not only to secure
a parity of rates but to establish by
definite order rates which the commits
sion shall regard as reasonable and
not unjustly discriminatory. The in
vestigation will affect directly not only
the live stock and packing house pro-
duct rates throughout the Central
West, but also those east of Chicago
and west of Denver.
The investigation is based upon
complaints of the rates filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
the Railroad Commission of Oklahoma
the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association,
the American National Live Stock As
sociation and others interested in live
stock and meat product shipment. Fol-
lowing the taking of evidence in this
city the commission will hold hearings
in other cities. including Fort WORTH.
Kansas City, and Chicago. A Anti de
Termination of the proceedings is not
expected before next spring.

One Railway Union Refuses
to Order Walk Out.
~(National News Association


CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-That the
threatened strike of shop men on the
Illinois Central and other Hartman
lines, together with the Chicago &
Northwestern, had been effectually
forestalled, was the word passed
around in Union circles today, follow
ing the refusal of the International ex-
to o X a walkout.
Conferences were on the schedule
today, but the international leaders
were said to be unalterably opposed
to strike at this time, although many
of the shopmen desire one.
The action on the part of the board
caused charges of double cross" on
the part of other unions, with the re-
suit that there is more or less of
factional fight in progress.
Officials of the new federation OF
shopmen on the Illinois Central on
which the principal fight is being
made declared that there would be no
strike unless all the unions walked out
together.
The full decision of the executive
board of the machinists will be an
nounced in Davenport, Iowa, this
week, where the annual convention is
being held.
The situation on the other Harri-
man roads and the Chicago & North
western is being held in allegiance.
