the rate to firemen and engineers in
many Instances, but is believed by

Washington. April .-Preident
Wilson has concluded that there la no
good : reason tor the withdrawal ' of
Charles Nagcl, former secretary of com
merce and labor, from the arbitration
board handling the wag dispute be
tween tha western railways and their
firemen and eng-lnemen, because ot tha
railway employes protest that as a trustee
of tha Busch estate of Ft. Louts, he Is
interested In railway securities.
Tha president came to this conclusion
after conferences with Federal Judge
Martin A. Knapp. chairman of the fed
eral board ef mediation and conciliation.
He takea the position that the railroad
employes knew Mr. Nagel waa a trustee
of the Poach estate when he waa selected
as an) arbitrator., and as no protest .waa
then' made, he aeea no reason for hla
withdrawal whan aa award Is about to
be made. ( The limit set for the arbltra-

CHICAGO. April SO.-Proteet against
increased freight tariffs on packing bouse
products as they would affect Sioux City,
were offered today at the western freight
rate hearing by W. H. Benn, traffic man
agr of tha Sioux City Btock Yards com
pany. 'What we wish Is a fair basis of trans
portation rates," said sir. Benn, "so that
we can have a reasonable share of the
competitive business with Chicago, Kt
Paul and Omaha. .
"Most of the stock slaughtered at Sioux
City comes from the northwest, whence
the average distance to Hloux City is 463
miles less than to Chicago. For that ad
ditional ham Chicago pays 1S.7 cents per
lflQjJounds on cuttle. 15.6 on hogs and W
on sheep," or from S to 4 re, its per car
mile. On .the ' packing . house product
shipped from Sioux City to Chicago we
pay I to IS cents per car mile.
'We contend that the proposed Increase
of IM cents per 100 pounds on packing
