THE UNION PACIFIC INSISTS ON ONE TC OMAHA AND COUKUIl , BLUFFS. Special Telegram to The BEE. CHICAGO , May 28. There is some difficult } between the western roads regarding freight rates from Chicago to Council Bluffs and Omaha , Tha agreement adopted by the gen' era ! manar/ers last week provides that tlu rate to Omaha shall bo the amount of th ( bridge toll higher than the rate to Council Bluffs. This would make the Omaha rate about three cents higher than the rate tc Council Bluffs. At a meeting of the general freight agent ] of the western roads at Com miesioner Faithorn's office during the last tw < days , to arrange the now tariff , a represent ative of the Union Pacific took the ground that the rates to Council Bluffs and Omaho should bo the same , and that his road coulc not , under Us charter , allow a higher rate tc be made to Omaha than to Council Bluffs , He could are no reason why the southwesteri lines should make the same rate to Kansas City as the Western Freight associa tlon makes to Council Bluffs , whet the same amount of bridge toll applies tc Kansas City as to Omaha , He said hii road was willing to make a concession as regards the payment of bridge toll aud pay its share of that expense. The peneral freight agent of some of the other roads strongly opposed the pronosition of the Union Pacific , and in' aisled that they had no right to go back ol the managers' agreement. After considerable talk it was decided to refer the matter bach tn the general managers to take such action at they maty deem necessary. The reason as signed for the Union Pacific's objection to make rates higher to Omaha than rates tc Council Bluffs , is the jealousy between the Council Bluffs and Omaha merchants. The latter , it is stated , have lately been holding indignation meetings protesting against the action of the managers in making a highei rate to Omaha than to Council Bluffs , Ontario people claim that under such an arrangement Council Bluffs merchants , as well as the mer chants of Kansas City and other Missouri river points , would have a great advantage over them. The Union Pacific people do nol with to incur the enmity of the Omaha people ple , aud for this reason they are now insisting that the rates to Council Bluffs and Omahi should be the tame.
