Commercial Club Threatens
' Prosecution ot Roads.
CULLS FOR AN INVESTIGATION,
Resolutions Are Adopted Denouncing
Dressed Meat Tariff Will Appeal
to Interstate Commerce Commission.
President Hill of Great Northern De
clarei Proposed Increase In Rates
Is Unfair.
Omaha, March 1. Lew W. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail
road, declares unfair and unjust the
increase In the dressed hoof rate be
;ween Omaha and Chicago, which dls
criminates against Omaha, Sioux City
tnd St. Joseph In favor of Kansas
CJty. Moreover, he says Omaha's ap
peal for fair play will be heard by
ifce railroaas
At a special meeUng of the execu
tive committee of the Commercial club
steps were taken to start un Immedi
ate resistance to the new rates Th
plans outlined by the committee con
template not only an appeal to the In
terstate commerce commission to re
store the old rates, but an Investlga
tlon of the railroads to determine to
what extent those corporations have
unlawfully conspired to put these
rates In effect.
HALTS LUMBER RATE COMPLAINT
E. J. McVann of Omaha Commercial
Club Traffic Bureau Files Request.
Lincoln, Nob., Mnrch 1. E J. Mc
Vann, manager of the traffic bureau of
the Omaha Commercial club, has
asked tho Nebraska railway controls
slon to dismiss without prejudice the
club's complaint concerning lumber
rates from Omaha and South Omaha
to certain points in Nebraska.
Some time ago the attorney general
was asked to render an opinion on the
legality of an organization not directly-
affected filing bucIi a complaint.
Thero was a question as to whether
the rnllw'ay commission ought to hear
a complaint regarding a rate from
some one not directly interested In the
outcome of tho hearing. Tho attorney
general held that such a complnjnt
would bo valid in his opinion, but ho
thought that In order to be safe from
an objection of the sort In case an
appeal were afterwards taken, It
would be better to tnko the safo side
and have tho complaint made by some
interested party.
It Is figured therefore that the Oma
ha Commercial club still desitcs to
push tho charge of discrimination jh
lumber rates, and that the dropping of
Its formal complaint simply means
that a new complaint by soma inter
ested shipper will be filed with the
commission.

law. which tas beon unearthod by tho
police, there is quite a neat little sum
of money coming to some of tho offi
