The car service at the South Omaha stock yards has returned to normal conditions, nnd since last Saturday afternoon the pack ers havo been receiving their cars from tho Western Car Service uBsoclntlou In tho regular order. Arthur C. Jones of tho as sociation said that a letter was received from the Armour Packing eompany Friday afternoon, In which they agreed to stand by tho rules of the association cnlllng for demurrage charges. Saturdny tno other packers lined up, nnd thu hold-out order, which had stood since March 9, was raised. The association asserts that It has been lighting for n principle, tho recognition of tho demurrngo charges. No attempt was made, It Is said, to enforce tho payment of back charges. All that was demanded was tho recognition of the principle behind tbo charges. . Illsc rliiiliintlmt In Chnrfceri. During this dispute between tho two par ties the assertion has been mndo that the association In this cltv Is discriminating against tho packers, and that In other cltlea moro favorable terms aro granted for tho storngo and tho unloading of cars. Accord ing to information given out nt the office of tho association, on all commodities forty eight hours nro allowed by nearly all of thu associations for unloading, except in tho case of coal. Tho local association grants seventy-two hours of storage for this commodity, ami then forty-eight hours for unloading. It Is claimed that this forty eight hours Is that much better thnn 1b al lowed In any of tho western cities. Denver makes no exception from tho general list for coal. Kansas City und St. Louts make tho straight allowance of seventy-two hours. The demurrage charge Is $1 a day for each car held over the time allowed by the rules. Tho contention wns over this charge. It was claimed by somo of tho smaller Bhlp pcrs that tho big men escaped the demur rage charges, while tho little fellows wero stuck every time. ItfCOIIICN till 1XUC. The matter finally became an Issuo be tween tho Car Service association and tho Union Stock Yards association, with the result that Mr. Jones of tho car service people gavo an order Mnrch 0 withholding tho delivery of all ears to the stock yards.

It has been erroneously stated that tho reward hud been paid to Sheriff Phillips of West Point nnd with this understanding several of tho other claimants wero very much In clined to believe that they had been hood winked. The mumbors of tho association stated that thu reward hail not been paid and would not bo until It was legally estab lished thnt tho person making the claim was entitled to It. With this resolution of the association In forco it may bo neces sary for the claimants to bring suit for the amount, ns by no other method can tho claim bo legally established.
