ILLINOIS RATES LOW, TESTIMONY IN CASE SHOWS Difference One-fourth Between Indiana Freight and
That of Neighbor Admitted. CHICAGO. July 24 Admissions that Illinois freight rates -were 35 to 200 per cent lower than Indiana rates were elicited from H. M. Slater, transportation rate expert of the Illinois Public Utilities Commission, at the rates hearing Wednesday before Interstate Commerce Commissioner H. B. Meyer. It has been planned to complete Indiana's case during the day. but Commissioner Meyer had been summoned to Washington and, before departing he desired to hear the method of procedure -which would be adopted by the defendants. Commissioner Meyer announced that Examiner William A. DisQue of the commission would conduct the hearing until his return Monday. Several Indiana Jobbers, merchants, and representatives of the trade organizations from the Hoosier state had testified during the morning session. One of the features of the day's hearing was an informal rejection by the representatives of the Indiana meat packers of the proposal offered by Illinois meat packers for an agreement upon a 15 per cent increase in rates in Illinois for those commodities. Luckett Shows Unfairness. Exhibits filed by O. B. Luckett, president of the Indiana Brick Manufacturers' Association, demonstrate the wide varieties of rates on brick shipments from Crawfordsville, Ind., to Ianville, 111., competing brick manufacturing centers. The rate to the Indiana shipper is $1.10 per ton. while to the person shipping the same commodity from Danville to Crawfordsville on the same railroad the rate is only $1. He cited anaother Instance where the rate from Indianapolis to Danville through Crawfordsville was $1.58, while from Danville to Indianapolis through Crawfordsville the charge was only $1.18. Mr. Luckett testified that the difference on an average on Illinois shipments was about 40 cents a ton and to Wisconsin through Illinois 62 cents a ton. This, he believes was conclusive proof of the unfair Illinois rates and classifications. Have 21 Cent Edge. In coping with Illinois brick manu
facturers in the Chicago market at
about the same naming distance uie Illinois sliippers had a 21 cent edge on the Hoosier brick manufacturers, Mr. Luckett testified. On shipments to points in Indiana and the East both the Illinois and Indiana shippers were on an eaualitv. but the Illinois manu
facturers shipped their products from forty to forty-five miles farther under I the same charge, he said. Competition with men in Illinois j for their state trade could only be
sorbed the rate difference In their profit, losing profit advantages by so doing, he testified. Mr. Luckett filed eight exhibits each citing from ten to twenty cases of rate discrimination.

$2.11 Wheat Is Considered Too Low Now; Records Broken at $120 in 1916 The Indiana farmers' federation thinks $2.11 a bushel Is too low for No. 1 wheat, and Is trying to get It raised. This is the price being paid Wayne county farmers now. But only three short years ago, $1.20 a bushel was paid for the first time per bushel for wheat, on July 24, 1916. and local papers carried firstpage stories on the event. Flour made from that wheat was priced at $3.10 a hundred wholesale, and $3.30 retail, and that was also a recordbreaking price. Today it is quoted at $12 a barrel of 196 pounds, by local millers.
