SHIPPERS RISE FOR BATTLE
Vestfrn Concerns to Make Protest to
Railroads.
M'VAITO REPRESENTS OMAHA
' ommrrplal f'lab'n Traffic Officer to
Attend Mlghtr M to He
Jlclil In (hlraao ou
Tender.
The commercial went la rislnB la declare
v. ar with the railroad. A proposed K'-n-rral
Increase in cotntimdity rate Is to be
uni-ldpied at a mlhly niectluK at w hich
the Miipprrs of all the wenlern country are
t' be represented. The meeting in to be
held at Chicago on Tiieadny. Omaha will
brt represented at thut meetinK hy K. J.
MeVann, traffic rommlsnlnner of the Com
mercial club of Omaha. A general call to
Him ha been received by all of the big
tdilpper of Omaha and other cltle of the
wot which will be affected by the In
iriaaed tales which the nilltoadM propose.
Nem'y 0. concern liave wiled to John
M. lilenn. (secretary of the Illinois Manu
facturers' HKHocliUioii at l'hl ago, HlniilfyhiK
thrlr Intent and aititvido toward the move- I
men I.
The general position of the chipper Is,
luoatlly, that the rates KliuuM not be ilin
ti.ibcd and that the proposed change
uould be followed by vital Increases In the.
cent of nearly every commodity entering
Into the dally lif.' of 1he people. The rail
roads, on the other hand, maintain that an
im ttam In earning Is uade necessary lo
cover the Increase In wage which have
been madu within thu pant year.
Demeiid of shipper a.
The demands that the Hhipper arellkely
to make are fairly well classified under
feven divisions. They will Insist:
1. That the eastern railroad abandon
their purpose of Increasing class rate east
ut' Chicago and r.uilli of the Ohio river lo
the seaboard from H per cent on sixth class
to J" per cent on first class.
That the ruiiroads submit their case
t the inter. -uiU- Commerce com
mission, first as to the necessity fur
increase in any rates and then as to the
amounts of the increases, provided the
commission rules that Increases aie war
i anted.
3. That the railroads shall let thu class
rules remain as they are and shall secure
greater revenue, If such a movo is Known
l he warranted by changes in the Classi
fications. 4. That tho preponderance of evidence
ecu ns to be In tavor of the proposition
that thu railroads are making more money
than ever In their history, and that It Hill
take u mass of convincing statistics to
piovo any increase in treignta to be Jus
tifiable at this time.
ij. Thut the railroads more than a year
ago entered into a "gentlemen's agree
ment'' not to increase Height luics gener
ally without fust having con.su lieu the
shippers, and that in view of tills agree
ment the shippers ceased their concerted
net lull toward added legislation of a kind
tna lallroads feured.
V. That increasing freight rates hori
zontally simply because the railroads think
they need more money is an unscientific
method of procedure and should be obso
lete. Kates directly under consideration aCtoct
shipment between the seaboard and the
district lying north of the Ohio river and
east of the Mississippi. These rate, how
ever, will affect the Omaha rate to sea
buaid, a the Chicago rale become the
basis of rate from the other points. Thus
from Cleveland, O., the rate 1 quoted at
U per cent of the Chicago rate, while from
on Uie other aide In the xone, which In
cludes Omaha, the rates vary from 122 per
cent at Dubuque, la., to 117 at St. Louis.
The shippers from point a remote even
as Little Hock. Ark., are taking an Inter
est In the meeting to be held at Chicago.
The increase proposed varies from 20 per
cent on lirst-clas shipment to 8 per cent
on sixth class. The dry good dealer of
Omaha are particularly at the mercy of the
railroads in the proposed change of rate.
