ILLINOIS FARMERS
WANT NEW RAIL RATES
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRu.l

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb, 3.-Will Ill,.
nois new public utilities commission
in deciding grain freight rates con
tinue to follow the Interstate Com
merce commission as it did in its rul-
ings on the giving of passes and trans.
portation and fixing of express rates I?
This was the question that today agi-
tated farmers and grain shippers
throughout Illinois when their repre-
sentatives came here to plead before
the state commission for the present
freight tariffs as against one per
cent sliding increase.
Within the first month of its organi-
cation the commission adopted to the
letter the federal board S classification
of persons who may be granted passes
or transportation by carrier utilities
and accepted the Interstate Commits.
son's schedule Of express tariffs for
shipments within the state. What the
railroads asked today was that the In
terstate Commission S scale of grain
rates be enforced for shipments within
Illinois The railroads began clamor.
ing for the grain freight increase a
year ago. From time to time decision
was deferred by the old railroad and
warehouse commission. When the first
| hearing was given by the commission
postponemcnt was allowed until to,
day with the proviso that whatever
today's decision the rates asked should
not 10 into effect until February %
The contention Of the farmers is that
the cost of carrying grain has not in
creased out Of ratio to other freight
carrying costs and that the additional
burden proposed for grain shipments
is unjust and discriminatory. They
claim that while other states are pro.
posing to increase the grain freight
rates only 8 per cent the Illinois Ger
riers ask an increase Of l6s.S per cent

lining Of the stomach, but also set up
gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is in
