ACTION EXPECTED SOON
I. C. G. May Prevent Reduction In

with representatives of shippers in the
southwest, and railroads handling
southwestern grain, have just returned
from Washington, D. c., where they
pointed out the discrimination which
would be accomplished against south
western millers and growers if re-
duction such as is contemplated were
put into effect without similar re-
duction for Kansas shippers.
Under the reduction proposed by the
railroads operating between Mime
apolis and Chicago, Minneapolis mil
lers could ship enough southwestern
wheat to Minneapolis to make the
proper blend with their native wheat,
and then lay down a carload of flour
in New York $40 cheaper than the
millers in Kansas could do.
If the reduction is ordered suspend
ed by the suspension board of the
commission another hearing will have
to be held later on the merits of the
case, g
