OBJECT TO LOW GRAIN RATE
Protest Filed With I. C. C. by E. HI.
HOgucIand

Formal protest has been filed with
tho interstate commerce commission
by E. H. Hogueland, commerce coun-
sci for the Southwestern Millersa
league, against proposed reduction
of freight rates on grain and grain
products which is included in a new
tariff published by lines operating be-
tween the Missouri river and Chicago.
The reduction in the new tariff.
which is to become effective June 10,
tend, in an unfair discrimination
against Kansas flour, because it low
ers the rate paid by the millers of
Minneapolis, Mimi, on flour which
they mill in transit and send to the
Chicago market. The four cent reduc-
ton in their rate would enable them to
buy flour in Kansas, ship it to Min
neapolis, mill it there or blend it with
wheat from the northwest, and put it
on the Chicago market cheaper than
the KaQsas millers can do with a di-
rect haul.
This move, the Kansas millers as
sert, would result in discrimination
against them, and to the disadvantage
of the grain producers as well as the
millers
the rates as published, will be held
before the suspension board of the in
terstate commerce commission, and it
is expected that the hearing will be
in Washington early next month.
The railroads which initiated the
movement to cut the freight rates on
Minneapolis flour, are making an eff
fort to cater to the Minneapolis mills,
Hogueland said today. They are in,
curing the enmity of the Kansas
shippers by So doing, however. One
of the Kansas millers has asserted that
the road which moved to give the re-
duced rate to Minneapolis goods,
would never haul another pound of
flour or wheat for his mills.
