r. 7. Mekenna, Interstate Commerce
Commission Representative,
Hears Protest on
Rates.
ON CERTAIN SHIPMENTS
Company Sends Chicken coops
Nestled and Wants Stamped
Ware Tariff to
Govern.

| r. T. McKenna, of Washington, D
c., special commissioner for the in
terstate commerce commission, was
here today and conducted q hearing
at the federal building in the matter
of the protest Of the Weber-Kirch
company against certain charges
made on commodities shipped by
them. J. D. Gray of Chicago repre-
sented the local firm. R. H. Countiss
of Chicago, represented the Trans
Continental Freight bureau.
The controversy is the outgrowth
of a shipment by the local firm to the
coast, of knocked down chicken coops
of galvanized iron,==The local com
pany contends that they are entitled
to better rate than is given them
by the railroads In view of the fact
that the coops are shipped flat The
railroads are contending that they
should pay the regular rate.
There is special commodity rate
for nested stamped ware, and this the
local company contends, is the head
under which these coops which are
shipped flat. should be considered.
Tie difference in the rate makes
quite difference in the expense of
the shipment, and the case Is being
watched with much interest.
G. A. Weber, one OF the officials of
the local company which has entered
the protest, was placed on the stand
this morning and answered a num-
Der of interrogatories propounded by
the attorneys on both sides, and by
the special commissioner.
Other members Of the local firm
followed on the stand, and the rail-
road representatives were heard.
Special Commissioner McKenna's
stenographer is with him, and min
utes Of the testimony are being taken.
They will be used in the decision
which will be made later.
It was brought out in the interroga.
tories during the day that the ship
ments were consigned from Keokuk
to the coast. 1t was explained that
the, coops were Of the variety which
can be folded up into small space.
This shipment would not take up the
amount Of room that coops would If
they were to be shipped in upright
condition. The local firms conten-
ton as presented by Attorney Gray
is that the rate on stamped metal
should be applied in this case
