RAILROADS CLAEI A tfECLSOITY Heenlnaaeat ( Carload Let. Wltaaat I'aleasHaaT AawtM ta Be th Can f Tar Congestion. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. .-HpeclaI Tele gram.) Whether the practice ot reconslgn tng freight In Car lots la one ot the causes of business speculation and railroad car congestion or whether shippers have been forced to adopt the plan or rebllling goods because of the delay of the railroads In getting freight through Is the knotty prob lem now up to th. m-mbers ot th. Ne braska Rallroal commission. Railroad men and shippers In numbers appeared be fore the board this morning and the hear ing on the question continued through th. day. Th. hearing was on the application of th. roads to b. allowed to put In effect new charges for reconslgnment as follows: Where a car Is not rebllled before U hours, to; between U and 8 hours- $C; between, 4$ and 7$ hours, $7, and local rates after 72 hours. Lumber and coal men were chiefly In terested In th proposed charge, aa they, of all shippers, hav been most frequent reconstgnors of material sent them as Jobbers. They oppose the charge aa un just,' claiming they are obliged to order In large quantities, long In advance of their actual needs to preserve themselves against th. d.lays of present day railroad con ditions. The added charge they regard as a direct "lift" from their pockets, to which the roads are by no means entitled. The hearing waa delayed this morning by th lateness of th Burlington train, which brought Omaha men on both sides to Lincoln. ' " Mr. 8 pen a Osru Case. Shortly before noon, Burlington Freight Agent C. E. Spens mad. a brief speech on behalf of the roads, opening the matter. Ha declared the reconslgnment practice waa th. chief causa of congestion of cars In railroad yards and that If th. tax wa authorised It would result In th. release of cars sooner and would relieve a con dition that has become a burden. H. H. Embrey of th. Rock Island said th same charge waa In fore In Minnesota and other 'states and the application had been presented to th Interstate Commerce commission, where no objections had yet been filed. He told of th railroad methods necessary for reconslgnment entailing th finding of th car, several messages back and forth from headquarter, and said that the service was worth the money sought to be collected. , It was alleged that reconslgnment Is largely for the benefit of speculators, who after placing orders for materials, go out in the state and drum up customers. Th. charg. would be beneficial to legitimate business mevi. Attorney F. A. Brogan of Omaha repre sents tho applicants and questioned th railroad men closely. - Th following were In attendance among others: C. W. Hull of Hull Coal company, Omaha; Randall Brown and F. B. Caldwell of the Coal Hill Coal company, Omaha; S. P. Loom la. L. 8. Sunderland of Omaha, and John Dorgan. H. T, Folsom, F. A. Foster, J. F. Hutchlna, W. E.

Union Pacific, B. F. Miller of the North western. John Utt, H. H. Etnbrey of the Rock Island, and J. O. Phllllppl of the Missouri Pacific , Comt.ia.loa Takes Time. Th hearing was - concluded during th afternoon, , after th testimony of a few of th shippers had been grvea. Th. Union Pacific offered no testimony ether than th preamble to the application for the order, and neither did the Missouri Paclflo and the Northwestern. Randall K. Brown, L. T. Sunderland, John Dorgan and B. A. Foster testified for the shippers In opposition to the application for the order. These nun contended to, grant th order would not relieve th congestion of cars, but on th other hand, would add that much cost to the consumer; that it waa not practicable to keep a supply of coal on hand to last through th winter. Tha shortage ot cars they laid to the In efficient equipment and poor handling They claimed th practice of reconsignlng cars was due' to the way. the railroads at tended to shipments that is, being so slow, Tha commission took the matter under advisement.
