ILLINOIS MEN TO BE HEARD; CASE IN SECOND WEEK i Shippers From Neighbor State to Testify on Rates in Chicago Courtroom. CHICAGO, July 28. The second week of the Indiana-Illinois freight rate discrimination controversy being heard by Commissioner H. B. Meyer of the Interstate Commerce Commission will begin Monday with Illinois shippers on the stand. During the first week Indiana shippers presented voluminous exhibits showing the rate differences which favor the Illinois shippers to the detriment of Hoosler merchants, manufacturers and business men. Commissioner Meyer was summoned to Washington last week, but expected to return In time to preside at today's session. In his absence Examiner William A. Dlsque conducted the hearing. Counsel for the Illinois Interests will present 260 exhibits and examine about that number of shippers and their representatives. Efforts of the Illinois shippers will be to prove that the rate differences between the two states are not sufficiently important to be termed "unjust discrimination." They will contend that the new level for Illinois rates which the Indiana complaints seek to establish, will result in an era of high prices in that state, as the consumers must absorb any increase. Discriminations were acknowledged by Illinois witnesses Friday and Saturday, but they said the differences were not sufficiently flagrant to work any substantial injustice to Indiana business interests. Roads Also Appeal. Coupled with the Indiana rate discrimination case is the appeal of Illinois railroads for Increased freight rates in that state to relieve them of their financial difficulties. In exhibits filed early in the hearing W. C. Maxwell, traffic manager of the Wabash Railroad and representative of the United States railroad administration, pointed out the dire straits in which the carriers find themselves. He said that railroads controlled by the railroad administration were being operated at a monthly deficit of $50,000,000, and that Illinois roads aided in creating this shortage. Railroad cost accountants presented tables showing railroad labor costs from 50 to 94 percent more than in 1917. Operation and maintenance costs also have increased in about the same proportion, the accountants testified. When railroads in other states received freight rate Increases the Illinois Public Utilities Commission denied railroads in this state any advances, according to witnesses for the railroads. During the time the Illinois railroads waged an unsuccessful struggle for advanced freight rates the Indiana railroads have received several increases in rates. Rates in Illinois are from 20 to 80 percent lower than on similar goods in Indiana and in addition the Illinois shippers have an equal level in the Hoosler markets, often being permitted to haul their products two and three times as far at a slightly lower rate in the Hoosler state than the Indiana shippers are able to obtain. Forced Out of Field. Several of the -leading manufacturers and Jobbers of Indiana testified last week that their business in Illinois markets had dropped to almost nothing because of the difference in

rates. Others abandoned that field be-

ause the Chicago and St. Louis job

bers and maniifacturers were able to undersell them. The Iron, atone, sand. crave, brick.

oil. hardware, drag, live stock, lumber, automobile and other Indiana Industries formerly enjoying considerable business In Interior and northwestern Illinois have been unable to hold It in the last two years since rate discrimination became more marked. Indiana shippers who did compete in Illinois paid the difference from their profits on sales.

Counsel for the defense have con

ducted their case so far upon the theory that rate differences between Indiana and Illinois are not generally discriminatory. In some instances this discrimination appears, they say,

but its adjustment should be limited to local points involved and should not take the form of a general rate increase for the entire state.
