THE WAG 13 SPREADING.
It is Liable to Reach Nebraska Be
fore Many More Days
JlaftiUK CJaette Journal. Jan. 7.
According to Chicago papers the war
between the; Illinois roads is beginning
to get more intrrestiug, and the indica
tions are that before the end of the week
it will reac h the western limits of Kan
sas and Nebraska. Several moves were
made yesterday which bring the light
beyond t lie Missouri river. The Mis
souri Pacific, smarting from the reduc
tion in Missouri rates, commenced Sun
day to take iron, pipes and castings, for
whic h there is at present a great demand
in the west, from St. Louis to Kansas
City at a rate of nine cents per hundred
pounds, the regular rate being fifteen
c ents. When the Alton hcai-d of this
it at once told Chairman Micbgley, of the
Southwestern association that it would
make a reduction in rates of IJUJ percent
from Chicago and St. Louis lo Kansas
City on all articles in class C, that being
the c lass in which irou pipe Jind cast
nigs belong. This will force a reduc
tion in classes I) and E. In fact it will
c ut down the rates on the most impor
tint articles of freight. The nervy rates
have not yet been promulgated, as
Chairman Midgley is corresponding
with the Missouri Pacific people trying
io Hieiuce inein to wiitieiraw Lies cut on
iron pipes to avoid a general reduction
Serious trouble has arisen rejrarding
rates on live stock. The Keck Island,
it is stated, has made a contract with
the Kurton palace stock car company to
take live stock from Kansjitv if their
cars are so constructed that, they can
take dead freight on the return trip, at
the same rates as in common -.p.-s. The
Ruck Island claims in justifitution of its
action that competing liitesT both from
the west and northwest, lmva hetn tak
ing live stork in cars of the Street Stock
Car company at the same; rates as in
common cars, thus diverting much of
its traffic: b'till th e Kurlingtoir. objects
to the Kock Isla ncl's action, unci has
notified Chaiiw.n Midgley ami IFaithorn
that unless the latter road annuals its
contract will, the IJurton company it
will make : reduction of 25 per cent in
rates of b' yc stock from all 3Iissouri
river ijo'ints. Affairs have assumed such
shape that no hopes are entertained of
iiny. amicable settlement. Still further
'.rouble has been caused by the- St. Louis
eV. "San Francisco road making a sate on
gvain from southern Kansas points of 5
cents less than the agreed tariff. The
other roails in the southwestcj n associa
tion have directeel Chairman Midgley to
make a corresponding reduction from
Kansas City to Chicago, which will re
duce the rates from 20 cents
jiouuds to 15 cents from all
per 1 00
Missouri
j! river points to Chicago.
