sary elsewhere in idaho, and after

dents or taxpayers in the Village

Interstate Board VIII Confer
and Perhaps Grant ) Per
Cent. Raise.
PROTEST. FROM PACKERS

wAsHtSGror. Dec s--The Interstate
Commerce Commission will hold q confer
ence Tomorrow and. II Ia expected. take
it's first vote on the 8 per cent advanced
rate case. The commission before hand
ing down formal decision may make
a preliminary announcement outlining Its
nature and scope
II has been reported here that the com
mission may allow a straight out per
cent increase on 90 or more commodities
on which II intlmated In Its decision OF
OF July 20 that the rates were not COM
pensatory. Those commodities include
feed, oats. -four. petroleum products. lum-
Der. pig iron. manufactured iron and steel,
dressed, smoked and other meats, &C. The
carriers in some instances have followed
the commissions suggestions and have In
creased the rates. but II has been alleged
that they increased them more than B
per cent Protest has been made and the
commission has been asked to suspend the
rates. This. 1t is alleged. is particularly
true Of dressed meats.
George Il. Robbins. vice-presiient OF
the Armour company. In a statement is
sued here tonight says:
we share in the widespread feeling
that general good may result from rea-
sonable and equitable increase in rates by
railroads east OF Chicago. The principal
packers. believe. offered the railroad
executives to accept an increase OF per
cent. on rates for 1--we stock and packing
house products " the rates on other COM
moditics were similarly advanced The
railroads were not satisfied with this and
pending a decision Of the per cent appli-
cation they have filed tariffs increasing
rates from IS to IL per cent. We felt
obliged to protest such discriminatory &C
ton against necessities such as live stock
and meat products"
Mr. Robbins says the tar'6S which the
Eastern railroads have asked the commits
sion to approve would impose upon live
stock and live stock products n tax OF
$40 200, 900 year In the way Of increased
rates and that analysis shows the ad-
vances would range from Is to II pei
cent. He says no such increases have
been made or suggested In freight rates
on other food products
with these facts In mind" Mr., Rob
bins says. the other shippers and the
public generally will not question the sin
cerity and fairness of the contentious nov
being made by the live stock men and
meat producing industries against the in
Justice Of these new tariffs which the East
ern roads are trying TO put into eject anc
