12 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , AUGUST 25 , 1809. TAKES BIT BETWEEN TEETH Burlington Bead at Last Annonncsa Reduc tion in Differential , WILL HELP BUSINESS OF OMAHA PACKERS I'rcient Differential Will lie Cut In Tim , llt'KliinlliK Srpll'lillicr 1 Hitter War In I > 'rclK"t Cir cle * .liny It on ii It. The Bttrllncton railroad has at last taken n firm stand on the Important question of differentials as between Oninba and Kansas City on pncklriE house products consigned to points In the southeast and has announced , through Vice President decree 11. Harris , that beginning September 1 n differential of 3 cents will be established , to take the place of the present fi-cent differential. The decision of the Burlington road In this matter Is a most Important ono , nnd Information of Us Intention will be hailed with delight by Onipfm packers , although local railroad men view the situation rather dubiously , fenrlng that < ho notion will pre cipitate a merry rate war , the like of which ban been unknown for many months. This Is the first determined Bland that has been taken on the question of differ entials , although It Is a subject which has been discussed to a considerable extent for several years. . The action of the Burlington has undoubtedly been Influenced by the fltroug pressure which has boon brought to bear upon It by the commercial men , Job- bora nnd packers ol this city , who have long contended that they were not being accorded fair treatment. The argument which they have presented has been along this line that the differential of 6 cents which hnn been maintained has been un justly high , nnd has practically shut the Omaha packers out of any business In the southeastern territory In favor of Kansas City. They have contended that by being compelled to pay 6 cents more on freights of this character to common points than Knnsas City , the difference has amounted to approximately $18 a car , nnd It can readily bo seen that this difference In favor of each car -would naturally turn nil of the business to Kansas City. The territory In which Kansas City has had full swing , and which Omaha packers have been so anxious to enter for competitive business , lies south of the Ohio nnd cast of the Mississippi rivers , and Includes also the Carollnns. The packing house oroduct formlnc the bulk of the business from Mils region In that ter ritory consists of hoes. ContciiUiiiiH of Oimtlut 1'nckern. The Omaha packers have argued to the railroads that the freight on hogs from southern Nebraska points ito Omaha Is the same ns to Kansas City , so that herein the latter hag a distinct advantage. They have further contended that It costs them moro to prepare the hogs for shipment because of the higher rate they have to pay on salt , coal nnd boxing material , so that Omaha packers have not only had to contend with n. much higher rate than Kansas City , but have also been to greater expense In prepara tion of their -products for the market. They have based their claim for a reduction In freight rates on the ground that "lt'8 a poor rule that won't work both ways. " In sup port of this they have argued that the rate from Kansas City to St. Paul and Minne apolis Is only % cent higher than from Omaha , and , reversing the situation , they do not eoe wherein It Is right that they ehould bo compelled to pay C cents higher freight thnn Kansas City to southern points no further than St. Paul and Minneapolis on the north. The attitude of Omaha has been especially aggressive during the past few months and the question of lowering the differential has been under serious consideration by the Burlington since the first of May. It has all along been known that the Burlington ivas disposed to make the reduction for the reason that If the southeastern field -were opened to Omaha packers , on anything like nn equal footing with the Kansas City pack- crs , It would not have the same lively com petition for shipments from this city to the south as It has from Kansas City to the south , owing to the fact that there are fewer rends operating from Omaha In that terri tory than from Kansas City , where there aru several ag res-slva competitors operating In the southeast which terminate there. But the power behind the. . throne that has wielded the Influence to deter the Burling ton from making any reduction has bosn the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis load. This line has threatened that If the Burlington made a reduction on the Omaha > Knnsas Pity differential It would make a UliO reduction on rntcn from Kansas City | to the south , which the Burlington and other roads would naturally have to meet. Thu Fort Scott & Memphis has In this way rcnlly hold the key to the situation , for It is a strong line and In said to bo In the habit of takloR or making a "bluff. " It has a through line to the southeast , a splendid roadbed , operates first-class trains , and Is altogether a formidably antagonist. The belief Is expressed In some quarters that the Burlington has succeeded In pacifying the Fort Scott & Memphis , but In the evsnt that this has not been done n bitter war on frulght rates Is anticipated , after the reduc tion of the Burlington shall go Into effect September 1. The Burlington and the Missouri Pacific roads nro the leaders In the handling o ! racking house products from Omnha through Kansas City to the Hotttheast. it Is natural to suppose that the Missouri Pacific will jiliice Into effect a like reduction In differen tials. Oniclnls of the local offices of both roads profces ontlrn Ignorance of the mat ter , but unlpKs Vlco President Harris fhalt change his mind It can bo depended uponi That the Burlington's now differential will po Into effect after the beginning of next month. ixcimsioSKAHO.V : is OIMMI : : > . l'rct > nt Kurly Uxi-urMlonn Are or nil lOxiiirtnifiitnlndirc. . I Thfl first of the series of preliminary ex position excursions arranged by the Missouri Pacific , Burlington , Klkhoru and Union ( Pacific , will arrive today via the MIs- nourl Paclllc from Falls CUy and Inter mediate pnltitts. A special train will bo pro vided which will leave Falls City at 7 o'clock and reach hero at 10:50 : o'clock In tbo morning. Iteturnlng , the excursionists will leave the Missouri Pacifies exposition rtepot at 10 o'clock In the oveulng. General Agent Phllllppl of tbo Missouri Pacific Is much pleased with the reports which have boon telegraphed from the stations along the route of the excursion , regarding the fxpectcd number of visitors. He figures that there will bo about COO In the party. This win bo u uplendld crowd when It Is considered that the oxcumlon rates are only In effect from twenty-six towns , many of AUilch nro very small. With the arrival of the Missouri Pacific rpeclal today tbo excursion season will bo fairly opened , It will be followed on Saturday by tbo excursions from DCS Molnes In the Rock Island and Milwaukee on ac count of Pennsylvania day and than begin- nlng on next Tuesday , the 2ftth , special ex cursion trnlnfl i\in bo run on the Union I'aclflc , Klkhorn end Burlington for three days. Continued encouraging reports roach headquarters from the agents throughout - out the state regarding the Interest which 1 being taken In thc o excursions , and oil of the roads are expecting extraordinary largo crowds. SpeaklnB of excursions this early In the season , however , there la ono drawback , which Is explained by Harry Moores , local agent for the Qulncy route , HUO looks at the mailer In this ways "It Is yet a trifle early for excursions wlileh will catch the crowds. This was practically demonstrated last Sunday In our excursion from Pattens- burg , Mo. Wo put In a rate of about a half- cent a mile , which was as low as the rat-js went Irut year even on McKlnley day , but instead of having 2,000 people , as I expected , wo only had atjout 800. This way have been the fault of Insufficient adro.-tlalng , but I am Inclined to believe that , the season of the year Is not yet far enough advanced. The farmers have not harvested their cror.s ; the merchants ore \\altlni ? until the caltn which will follow the fall rush of business , and the bankers and TrofcsJ'on.U ' men nro not golnc to rush away from their offices Just when business Is at Its best. " This sumo idea has long prevailed with railroad men , and the early excursions thla year are of some Importance because ( if their experimental nature. If thay prove succcts- fill It will convince the railroad men that the American people will travel In season and out of season , provided the rates are sumclent Inducement and Will btlng about some chanses In the conduit of excursion * . In the future as far as ttmo Is concerned. ASSOCIATION. Competitive lilnoM Force It to Take .MciimircN for Sclf-rrotcutlmi. It has been long since local railroad cir cles \\cro moro Interested In any subject than yesterday when .tho . report , con tained In dispatches from Chicago , that the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul road had withdrawn from the Western Passenger as sociation , became current. In some quar ters thcro was a disposition to doubt the report , but the degree of posltlveness about the telegraphic statement contained In The Bee causes the general Impression to prevail - vail that the iMIlwaukco has really taken the step accredited to It. At the local offices of the Milwaukee no other Information than that contained In the newspapers had been received and General Agent Nash was , therefore , unable to either deny or nfflrm the report. The other gen eral ofilces had received no news regarding the matter , and officials of the passenger departments of the Union Pacific and Elkhorn - horn are awaiting the return of General Passenger Agents Lomax and Buchanan In order to learn the true status of the affair. These officials are still 1'n Chicago In at tendance upon the meeting of the associ ation. The reason assigned for the withdrawal of the Milwaukee Is becausu the efforts to gain the consent of the Chicago Great West ern and Wisconsin Central roads to join the association have as yet failed. Those loads operate between Chicago and St. Paul and In this and other territory are In di rect competition with the Milwaukee. By reason of their not belonging to the associa tion these lines have established numerous reductions which the 'Milwaukee has been unable to meet. Tor some time post the Milwaukee and other lines In the associa tion have abided by the promises of the out side lines to Join the association. These promises have been made on several occa sions , but their fulfillment has always been delayed upon some pretext or other. Ono of the purposes of the present mooting of the association , which was called to convene ou the 21st , was to again tirgo the Wisconsin Central , Chicago Great Western and Minne apolis & St. Louis lines' to enter the Hold , and It was believed that the deelred end was Boon to bo brought about. But the action of the Milwaukee Indicates differently. With Ita competitive lines out of the association the ( Milwaukee Is handicapped. With them In the field would bo clear , and their con tinued refusal to Join and take an equal chance with the Milwaukee for the business Is assumed by unprejudiced railroad men to be sufficient reason for the Milwaukee to take the stand which has been announced. Local passenger men are Inclined to be lieve , however , that this action will result In the disruption , temporarily , at least , of the Western Passenger association , and then there will be a lack of placid serenity which has existed for some tlmo In passenger cir cles. This outcome cf the situation Is not at all relished by the passenger men , and yet they are frank to confess that the Milwaukee can't bo blamed. Ono paittenger man expressed his views on the situation as follows : "I have no fears of the outcome of this matter. While I have no Information regarding the with drawal of the Milwaukee moro than that contained In the newspapers , I believe It to be a fact , and I bcllovo the step was taken for this purpose. The Milwaukee Js a strong lino. If It comes to a rate war between it and the three Ilnee operating In Its most valuable territory which nro not In the as sociation , the latter lines are sure to come out of the battle badly worsted. I think It will bo a. . vnluablb lesson to them , and after the Milwaukee administers a few doses of their own medlclno to them they will be glad enough to call the fight oft and Join the association. The affair may temporarily arily Interfere with the operation of the Western Paescuger association , but I do not think It will produce any noticeable effect except In the territory covered Jointly by the Milwaukee and the three roads outside of the association , against whom the war la being directed. " \n riiniiiTi' in Hntr- . It Js reported by the freight department of the Union Pacific that .10 action has been takfui In the matter of reducing the rates on hardware consigned to Montana points , between Chicago and Omaha , and owing to now conditions having arisen It Is Improbable that any such a reduction will bo made. This la the proposition which was so violently opposed by Omaha hard ware Jobbers.
