This would make it the largest con-

TIE answer to this inquiry seems to
me to be gradually disclosing itself in

recrudescence of the old nationalism
In sense, it seems to me, Miss Addams
put her finger upon the exact difficulty,
which has not decreased in Importance
in the period which has followed the
signing of the Treaty Of Versailles.
The American delegation, headed by
the President of the United States,

ALLEGES DISCRIMINATION
SAYS Railroads Are Under Domination
of Biz Packers, to Detriment OF Busi-

Enable Packers to Extend Their
Powerful Influence On Business.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July S.--Clifford Thorne'
who used to fight the packers In the
days when ne represented the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association. has
instituted the case against them be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion on behalf of the National Whole
sale Grocers Association, which he rep
resents. Thorne was for many years
q member Of the state board OF rail-
road commissioners. In recent years
he has maintained an office in Chicago
and specialized in rate cases.
AS attorney for the association
Thorne has filed a petition before the
commerce commission IN which he de-
clares that there is discrimination OF
railroad service in favor of the pack
ers, which, If allowed to continue VIII
give them control over the distribu-
ton of food products generally thruout
the country. In digest OF his case
given to the press Attorney Thorne'
among other things says;
AT the present time the packers
have a special expedited service in their
peddler cars and refrigerator cars very
analogous to that Of passenger train
service so far as fresh meats and pack
ing house products are concerned. We
do not object to this. But the pack
ers have ingeniously secured changes
in the tariffs Of the railroad companies
permitting thec, 20 put into these cars
Of fresh meats various other food pro-
ducts.
AS a result the packers secure the
same expedited service on cheese, rice,
cereals. dried fruits, peanut butter,
soap. soap powder, talcum powoer,
canned fruits, canned vegetables, pick
les, olives, catsup beans, prunes. table
sauce. preserves, jams. syrups, crush

large portions Of the country the pack

two to ten times as long in transit.
The grocers insist that these other
food products should not be shipped

A Typical oass.
Attorney Thorne cites as typical
example Of this discrimination over q
substantial territory the following:

a limited territory adjacent to Chica-
60, there Is no refrigerator service
available from Chicago to the members
Of complainant on perishable grocer

He declares that this illustrates the
restrictions on service which the whole
sale grocers now have to meet and Is
fairly representative Of conditions
turnout the United States with respect
to Interstate shipments.
He sums up the gist Of the whole
cause of action in the following:
'The maintenance of these unjust
and discriminatory provisions in the
tariffs OF the defendant carriers has
enabled the packers rapidly to extend
their powerful Influence outside OF the
