Show UTAH IS TO MAKE BIG PROTEST As stated by tho Standard" some time ago, tho Interstate commerce commission 1b to investigate the effect ef-fect that Is being made by some eastern jobbers to secure freight rates on mixed carload lots similar to those that now apply to carload lots of single sin-gle products. This effort, it is said by D. F. Col-iett, Col-iett, secretary of the Manufacturers' association of Utah J3 being made principally by Chicago jobbers. Mi Coliett asserls that if they should succeed In their endeavor tho result would work great hardship and loss to Utah m.inufaclurois and particularly particu-larly to the canneries of this state. Utah manufacturers having brought the matter to the attention of the as sociation, secretary joueit was instructed in-structed to present tho case to the lnlorstato commerce commission at Washington, D C. Yesterday a letter let-ter was received from Secretary John Marble of the commission notifying Mr Coliett that his presentation In the case had been properly filed and would receive faithful attention and investigation in its turn. At, present a certain freight rate case obtains, as an Illustration, on a carload lot of canued peas. Undar this tariff the big wholesalers and jobbers of. Utah arc able to bring In such products at a rate that will enable en-able them to dlsposo of tho goods to small business concerns at prices that shut out tho eastern jobber from the retail trade hoie, unless he shall ship In like quantity. It appears now that Chicago jobbers job-bers arc leading a movement to obtain ob-tain a similar rate on mixed carload lots, lu order that they may be ablo to ship In a carload of mixed products prod-ucts of many varieties, each small division of which could be retailed or wholesaled here at prides to meet those offered by local Jobbers, who ship in carload lots comprising but ono product In each car According to Mr. Collott's compilation, compila-tion, the following articles shipped In wood, or In glass or stone jars, would bo affected by such a change: Capers, Ca-pers, fruits, peppers, corn, dried fish, pickled fish, noodles, Italian paste, mincemeats, mustard, fruit butter, pineapples, pickles, kraut, dillweed, cucumbers, tomatoes, caullflowc-, onions, table sauces, catsup, horseradish, horserad-ish, prepared pepper sauces, salad dressings, olives, fish lu glass, maple ma-ple syrup, fruit syrups, cider, syrup flavoring, glucose, rock candy, elder, vinegar, Boston brown bread, plum pudding, milk, vegetables, pork and beans, smoked fish, soups, spaghetti, macaroni, pie preparations, preserves, Jellies, maraschino cherries, crushed fruit, cream, hominy, clam broth, oysters oys-ters and vermicelli. oo Day Is very good.
