STATE SHIPPERS
START FIGHT ON
UNFAIR Rates
Many Instances Of Discrimi,
nation Between Indiana and
Illinois Rates Are Shown.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Indiana ship
pers, in their fight against the freight
rates in Illinois, which favor that state
to a disadvantage of shippers in sur
rounding states, scored many points IN
the first day Of the hearing OF the
case before H. Meyers of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission Monday
at the Federal building.
The Indiana manufacturers and
shippers say that the discrimination
results in a cost of transportation 40
percent less in Illinois than in their
state. They seek the application Of
the United States railroad class1flca-
ton and the Central Freight associa-
ton rate scale in Illinois as we'll as
Indiana.
w. C. Maxwell, traffic manager Of
the Wabash railroad, representing the
United States railroad administration
was the first witness. He submitted
forty-five exhibits of rates and freight
classifications showing the difference
in the rates in the two states.
His testimony during the morning
and afternoon closely followed each
rate and classification outlined in the
exhibits. In his testimony it was
shown that the discrimination also ex-
In his exhibits Mr. Maxwell exclud-
ed rates and classifications of lime
stone. sand, gravel, coal, grain and
grain products, but dealt with other
commodity and class rates. Mr.. Max
we'll said that the class rates, which
included the commodities he had ex-
vluded from his exhibits, showed that
this rate from Peru, Ind, to Decatur,
Ill, a distance of ia miles, is 54
cents, while between the same Indiana
town and Chicago, the same distance
the rate was AZ cents.
When the days examination closed
Mr.. Maxwell was on the stand. Com
missioner Meyers ruled at the begin,
ming of the hearing that the railroad
Representatives would be first to take
the stand to give testimony as to &C
tual rates and classifications. Fol-
lowing the railroad witnesses, the In.
diana shippers will present their case.
