DEALERS SAY, In SUIT
Commerce Chamber and Retail Mer-
chants Start Action Against B. & o.
and Pennsylvania.

Alleging unjust, unreasona bic and I'M
lawful freight rates to be in existence
here, the Chamber OF Commerce and Re
tail Merchants Association yesterday
filed suit with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to compel the Baltimore and
Ohio. Pennsylvania. and other railroads
to establish commodity rates into Wash
ington from New York. Philadelphia and
other Northern points.
Not only do the merchants request the
establishment of specific commodity rates.
but they want PREPARATION for the I'M
lawful charges imposed up to the present
time. 1t is alleged that the railroads
are discriminating by denying To Wash
inCton merchants rates granted to the
people of Richmond, Petersburg and
Fredericksburg. As result. the freight
charges for Transportation from North
ern points to these SOuthen cities are
lower than for transportation from these
same points to Washington. although the
haul is considerably longer 10 the Vim
ginia cities.
The petitioners are represented by
Maurice D. Rosenberg general counsel
for the Retail Merchants Association:
Chaplin Brown, general counsel for the
Chamber of Commerce. II. carlton
Hanes special counsel. and Alpheus Win
ter. president OF the Freight Audit and
Adjustment Company.
