JARDINE TAKES UP
STOCKYARDS ISSUE
Reasonableness Of Reweighing
Rates at Chicago Is Challenged
by Live Stock Dealers.

By the Associated Press.
The reasonableness of rates for re-
weighing live stock at the Chicago
stockyards, which have been subject
of controversy between traders and
the stockyards for more than five
wears, will be determined by Secretary
Jardine, who has begun consideration
of the case after two-day hearing OF
both sides.
The charges against which traders
have complained under the packers
and stockyards act, were levied in No
vember, 1921, and are in addition to
charges paid by the original shippers.
They were declared discriminatory in
June, 1928, and a new tariff of lower
charges was filed. The traders contend
that no charge should be made, or II
any. that the present rates are too
high. They ask reparation for charges
paid before the higher tariff was de-
clared unlawful, as we'll as damages
because of the alleged unreasonable.
ness of the present charges. The stock
yards company contends the service to
the traders is practically equivalent to
that rendered the original shipper.
The additional yardage charge does
not apply to cattle purchased by pack.
ers and driven direct to the packers
yard, but to purchases Of traders re-
tained in the stockyards for resale.
This, the traders contend. places them
at a disadvantage in competing with
buyers for the packers.

RECALL OF SOVIET AMBASSADOR TO
FRANCE IS EXPECTED MOMENTARILY Y
French Government Presents
Formal Demand For Action
to Moscow - Ambassador
Rak0vsky Alleged to Have
"Flagrantly Violated Soviet
Agreement

Paris, Oct. S.-(P)-Thc recall
of Christian Rakovsky as soviet
ambassador to France was expected
momentarily today.
A formal demand by the French
government for his recall was pre-
scnted to Moscow yesterday, it was
revealed by the publication of the
documents by the foreign office, and
his withdrawal is said to have been
promised by the soviet government.
France, in her demand yesterday
stated that Rakousky, on August 8
signed declaration stating that
"in case Of war with the soviet, the
proletariat of capitalist countries
should work for the defeat Of their
governments and foreign soldiers
should go over to the red army"
This was described in the French
note as "a fragrant violation" Of
the soviet's agreement to keep
hands off French affairs.
The French government, it was
said in we'll informed quarters, in
tenGs to give out later other docu-
ments in order to make it quite plain
to the French people that Rakov-
sky's departure was necessary"
1t has always been said officially
that there was no thought of con-
sidering a rupture, but in diplomatic
circles it was said that the cabinet
has finally arrived at a point where
the breaking off Of relations with
the soviets is being considered al
though no action on it has been
taken.
