financial losses and a serious waste
Of the Northwest's food resources are

means Of distribution.
Heavy losses in livestock marketing
the committee report stated, are due
largely to the fact that shipments to
the South st. Paul market are not ad :
justed to the handling capacity of the
stockyards, nor to the conditions OF
supply and demand. AS result OF the
meeting tomorrow it is expected that
more adequate train schedule which
will facilitate the handling of stock
on the st. Paul market will be put in =
to effect.

GENERAL RATE ATTACK
Traffic Experts In Battle Before Fed
eraI Commerce Commission.

IaSS'bCIdICts JIcoS ElCS"l
Washington, August 20.-After five
days of testimony regarding the agri-
cultural situation in the west, grain
men began today before the interstate
commerce commission an attack
through testimony of traffic experts,
on the entire freight rate structure
on grain and hay maintained by west
ern railroads.
Previously attorneys for the grain
men, farmers and shippers, had de-
scribed suffering of the farmers,
which they declared was due in large
part to high freight rates.
Rate experts were called today to
show that the rates on grain as COM
pared with that on other commodities,
was unreasonably high, and that the
commission should, therefore, reduce
rates even IL it was not convinced
that such a reduction would increase
the revenues of the carriers through
increased volume of tariff.
