THE CHICAGO MKKCHAXTS.
Interview with Them Iovelope aome In
tr tenting Faeta.
Chicago, April 30. The result of in
terviews with the heads of the wholesale
firms erf Chicairo and a large number of
nrominent receivers and shippers of grain
and provisions develop some interesting
information uoon the practical owration
of tha interstate commerce law. One
point upon which all agreed was that the
freight rates are lixeiy to ne permanently
higher under the new enactment; inai
tha consumer of commodities mart pay
this increase into the treasury of railroads.
Home claim, however, that the com pen
sating advantage to be derived from the
enforcement of the short and long haul
and unjust discrimination clauses would
be sufficient to more than offset the in-
riiA of charzes. There is undeniably
an advance thus far. Their busineas
with the Pacific coast is practically oblit
erated under the new law. The attitude
of milwava towards the law is almost
universally condemned.
