VOICE OBJECTIONS
TO RATE INCREASE

Chicago, April 5.-Representatives of
ahippers and manufacturers from Missouri
and Mississippi river points today voiced
their objections before w. NJ. Daniels
interstate commerce commissioner, to the
proposed increase of western railroads in
freight rates on coal. 1t was contended
that present coal rates from mines to
consumers are sufficiently high and to
raise them would be unfair.
c. e. Childe, commissioner of the traffic
bureau of the Sioux City Commercial club
declared that coal earns more per car
than any other commodity.
would YOU think that the rates on
other commodities, livestock and packing
house products, are too low and that they
should be advanced?" asked Attorney A
P, Hamburg attorney for the Illinois Cen
trail railroad.
well, I would say that the carriers
have much more reason to advance them
than the coal rates. replied the witness.
The increase in coal rates TO Mississippi;
river points from Indiana and Illinois coal
fields, proposed by the railroads, is 10
cents ton, while the advance asked
from the Kansas mines to Missouri river
points is five cents a ton.
