THE OMAHA SUNDAY REE: AUGUST 11, 1907. RAILROAD BOORS DEMANDED llarr.fr Wants to Find Out Profit in Haulinj of Cream. MATTEK UNDER ADVISEMENT B. B. Ihfrmti of Colinbii Appolalil to Soeeeea Harvard Snprrlx Ifidrnl at Industrial lions at Krir (From a BtafT Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Aug. 10. (Special.) A de mand lor the books of the railroad com panies asking an Increase In cream rate was made to the State Railway commu nion this afternoon by Attorney Halner, representing tha central creameries. The . commission took tha demand under advise ment, hut Intimated later that it would turn down tha demand and not compel tha corporations to bring their books Into tha hearing. Mr. Halner prefaced his demand by saying that he had tried faithfully all week to get some Information relative to what. It cost the railroads to transport cream, but each of the railroad witnesses Insisted he did not know and could not find out. Mr. Halner Insisted that the Burlington railroad particularly, and all railroads In general, made enormous profits, which wera concealed from the publlo and he further declared that the rates on cream wera higher than on the products of the packing houses. Discussing the Burlington earnings, Mr. Halner quoted from a pamphlet Issued to Investors that the equity of the Clreat Northern and Northern Pa cific In the Burlington earnings amounted In 1906 to 174.1 4.T1. Out of this, Mr. Halner said, $flf,000,000 la to be taken for operating exponaes. Of this he said about $14,000,000 is a matter of bookkeeping. After the Bur lington has received 4 per cent on Its In vestment he said the other two roads re ceive at least $12,000,000. Tha Burlington, he said, paid In the neighborhood of 0 per cent on the investment. Mr. Halner then read the following comparison of cream rates und no-klng houao products: To Omal-.n crnme. mot, tmm. mn; Hooper Ftnnton . Nellgh .. Kmmet Thatcher n. on 11.87 17.

Ten cars of cattle would earn $845; ten cars of hogs, $747.80, and ten cars of butter cream hipped to Omaha Indicates an earning of $5.212 50. Threat of Bibler 1-aw. The threat waa made this morning by a representative of the central cream etiea that If the commleslon raised the cream ratea aa requeated, the creameries would at once apply for an order for the enforcement of the Sibley 13 per cent re duction law enacted by the last legisla ture. They hold that cream rates come under this law because cream la carried on passenger trains. In view of thla state : ment It la taken that this attorney baa an -Intimation that the commission la likely lo Increase cream ratea slightly If not the full amount asked by the Western Traffic association. During the week' hearing tha railroads and express companies , have placed num erous witnesses on' the stand In an at tempt to aliow that the email local cream ery Is capable of .manufacturing a better grade' of butter than the central creamery ; that the butter, therefore, would bring a higher price on the market and the dairy men would receive more money, for his cream. To show this contention they have had among their witnesses the following: Mr. "White of the agricultural department, Washington; Food Commissioner Wright of Iowa; Food .Commissioner Wheaton of Bouth Dakota, and Food Commissioner Slater of Minnesota. Fach of these men testified In favor of the higher rates and that the . establishment of small local creameries worked to the best advantage to the producer aa well as the consumer. The railroads claimed . and tried to show by witnesses that the present cream rate was put in as a milk rate when milk 'was shipped to large places for consumption by private families and others, and that thereafter the central creameries sprung up and took advantago of the rate to ship In cream for manufacturing purposes. They have offered no evidence to ahow whether the rate la remunerative to the 'corporations or not, but their witnesses insist that It is out of proportion to all other kinds of merchandise. All efforts of the commissioners and the attorneys to get soma information regarding tha cost of hauling cream have failed, the witnesses saying It is Impossible to separate the various articles of merchandise shipped. , Claims of Blgr Creameries,. On the other hand the witnesses for the central creameries which are protesting against tha tncreaaed rate, claim that the conditions in Iowa, South Dakota and Min nesota do not exist in Nebraska and no comparison can ben mada between these states and Nebraska. They claim Ne braska la not thickly settled; that it takes NO oows to support a creamery, and t'isre must be manufactured 150,009 poun.l of butter a yaar to make a creamery pay. For thla reason their witnesses have tes tified that tha central creameries have dona mora and will do mora to, develop tha dairy Industry in the stats than can ba done Oldsmobiling Sport Royal Em i"si"Sl.j V ,'.'.x I - ii uy mi mi i mass M n ii i ia n i jMn,iiip.m'wiia,m ... . , , ,M , ndl'Lg'ss .,..,. f I..,, - iiln.mi,.l..,r.r.r4"l.ii1 , Ou the track.

The big cream- ! er'es, they testified, have stations to which the fsrmers can bring their cream daily, j and thrfore the rates, if changed, should I lowered. Charles A. Clark, who conducts a cream ery at Revanna, Loup City, and Ord, and operates both a central and a local plant, testified today Mr Clark expressed the be lief that Nebraska farmers paid too little attention to the dairy business to make a local creamry pay. Most of the farmers, he aald, left this matter to their wlvea to run aa a side line. He named over a number of creameries which had gone out of business since lie struck the state thirteen years ago. He was of the opin ion the had separatora had hurt the local creameries and did not Improve the cream becsuse the farmers were too earless about cleaning them. Ryder la to Co-operate. Labor Commissioner John J. Ryder In tends to co-operate with the newly or ganized division of Information In connec tion with the bureau of Immigration and naturalisation organised art Washington. Thla division Is to promote a beneficial distribution of the aliens admitted to the United States. It Is In charge of Superin tendent T. V. Powderly. He wants Infor mation as to tha number of unmarried men and heads of families mho are likely to find profitable labor In different parta of the country. Mr. Ryder desires to secure one or more reliable and willing persons In each county seat who will take Interest enough in the efforts to secure desirable settlers and workers to keep htm advised as to conditions in their county. This will necessarily have to be a labor of lova Inspired by pure public spirit. Mr. Ryder wishes it understood that what informa tion Is sent him must be reliable, and that needa or opportunities must not ba exag gerated. National Oiari Rifle Team.
