R. TO CONTEST CLAIMS A Butter Famine Promised by the Manufacturers if Fight Should Fail in Illinois New Schedule of Tariff Unjust CHICAGO, June 8.-Sixteen of the largest manufacturers of butter in this state will open the fight against the proposed advance of freight rates on cream and milk before the Inter state Commerce Commission next Wednesday. The advance in tariffs are to 125 per cent. A butter famine is promised should the fight fail. Commissioners Prouty and Harlan will hear the testimony and argu ment. The railroads will contest the claims of the buttermakers, declared tfce schedule to be fair. The manu facturers report represents the plants to be worth $1,000,000. They annually put out $150,000,000 worth of butter, more than one-quarter of the entire output of the whole country. They pay the farmers of the Mississippi Valley states more than $50,000,01)0 annually and spend more than $1,500,000 a year on railroad freight rates. In their plea to Judge Kohlsaat, several months ago these butter makers invoked the aid o fthe court to restrain the common carriers from putting into effect a new schedule of tariffs that, it was asserted, would be excessive, unjust and almost confisca tory and the restraining order, the first of its kind ever issued, was granted. Should the buttermakers fail their recourse to the Interstate Com merce Commission to prevent the es tablishment of new tariffs they say they see no alternative other than to stop business. The. margin of profit, they say is less than one half a cent per pound net. A disturbance of the rate that have been in effect for 14 years, it is alleged, not only to compel the millions invested in creamery stations in Kansas, .Ne braska, Missouri, Iowa, Ilinois, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and oth er states but would cause an actual loss to them of more than $1,000,000 annually.
