PLAN TO LOWER COAL RATES
KoTement to Be Launched to Bring Bail
roadi to Time.
COAL DEALERS THOROUGHLY AROUSED
Determine on Action 1bl VTI1I Bare
Indna-trlal Life of Omaha from
Death mow of Corporation.
Coal dealers snd consumer are not losing
Intercut In the question of rates on soft
coal from Missouri, Iowa rfnd Kansas. The
advance which wont Into effect August 1
1a still up for consideration and everything
posalble to secure Just treatment from the
railroads interested In the so-called holdup
proposition la lielng considered.
A new movement will be launrhed by the
Inrge consumers of Omaha the first of the
week. Plans looking- to a restoration of
the old rates have been under consideration
by tho consumers during the Inst few days
and the first move in the plans agreed upon
probably will be made Monday or Tuesday.
Those lnter.jsted In the' movement believe
It vlll not be well to mako the plans public
for the time being.
A leading coal dealer who has gone Into
the rate question thoroughly said:
"I believe tho Burlington Is not entirely
to blamo for this advunco In rates. The
other lines are Into It Just as dreply as the
Burlington, but that road Is being put fur
ward as a cat'apaw. It looks to me like,
there Is no chance for relief for the con
sumers of this city except to secure a re
duction of the present rates. We will have
to got thorn reduced to the old basis be
fore our factories can compete with those
of surrounding cities. There Is no chance
to get an advance In the rates to St.
Joseph, Kansas City and Council Bluffs for
the reason that the distance tariffs In the
states In which the cities named are located
apply on coal shipments and under these,
tariffs the rates cannot be advanced, conse
quently the only relief we can hope for Is
a reduotlon of the rates to .Omaha.
Involves Life of Omaha.
"I believe the people of this city do not
realize how desperate the case before us Is.
It Involves the very life of our manufactur
ing Interests. We cannot hope to secure
the location of any additional manufac
tories so long as these rates are in effect,
and we cannot even trust that the factories
we now have wilt remain with us unless
we can get more Just treatment on the
part of 4he railroads.
"The coal dealers of Omaha are not so
seriously affected, for under present condi
tions Council Bluffs dealers cannot enter
Nebraska and compete with us. Quite a
long time ago the Union Pacific put In
effect across the bridge a prohibitive tariff
of 40 cents per ton on coal, and this tariff
will prevent the Jobbers and dealers of
the city across the river from entering
the Nebraska territory In competition with
us. It is the consumer and the citizen
who desires to see this city prosper who
should take an Interest In tkls matter.
Of course, we coal dealers, as citizens of
Omaha, are vitally Interested In the wel
fare of the city, and that Is the reason we
are doing all we can to get fair treatment
for Omaha. I have made a table of com
parative rates to show Just how great the
discrimination against this city Is.
"The distance from Cleveland, la., to
Omaha Is 159 miles. The rates are $1.15 on
lack and $1.30 on lump coal for this dis
tance. The distance from Mendota, Mo., to
Kansas City Is ISO mllos and the rate is 76
cents per ton on both slack and lump cool.
This one instanoe will tend to show just
how greatly we are discriminated against.
Here is a case where a railroad interested
in. this matter is hauling coal 180 miles Into
Kansas City for 75 cents a ton, while a rate
of $1.80 Is being charged for hauling the
lime class of cool a distance of 159 miles
Into this city.
"Now is the time to keep hammering on
this matter until we secure some relief. If
we let up now and allow the matter to lie
dormant for a while the agitation will
gradually die out and Omaha will have to
labor along carrying this great handicap,
which will result in Immense harm to the
city and Its people."
