IN LITIGATION THREE YEARS
h n Result There Will Be a SnvUnir
of Six Bollnra Prr Crtr on All
Lumber for the Orrnter
Oatnhn DIMrlct.
E. J. McVann, manager of. the traffto
bureau of the Commercial Club, baa re
celVed the full text of the decision ot th
Interstate Commerce commission In the
southern lumber reparation cases and ad
mltstthat the commission's action means
a sweeping Victory for the rMlroada.
The decision was tho final step in the
litigation which was begun by the traffic
bureau of the Commercial club In 1910
on behalf ot the lumber merchants of
tho three Cities. A reduction from 26H
cents to 25 cents was secured and that re
duction has been held ever since. The
railroads attempted to raise the rate to
cents In August, 1012, but the traftlc
bureau obtained a suspension order from
tho commission. Later the railroads with
drew their advanced rate for the .com
mission to have time to Investigate the
lumber situation In the south. The net
result of this threo years of litigation Is
a saving ot $0 a oar freight charges on
evury car received In Omaha, Council
Bluffs and South Omaha during that time
llcnlen Itetmrntlon,
The recent decision, as Interpreted by
MoVann, denies the right of any repara
tion to lumber dealers of the three elite
which Is a reversal ot th commission'
decision of 1910, to the effect that the
difference between tho 25-cent rate and
the 26H-ccnt rate belonged to the con
signees. The shippers are technically en
titled to the award, the commission holds,
but reparation Is dented lumber manu
facturers who already have received a
division of the rate through the owner
ship of a "tap" line or logging road. If
the commission had hold to the first de
cision tho Omaha and Council Bluffs
dealers would have secured $10,000.
"""If there had been no string tied to- the
decision in favor of the southern people. '
said McVann, "the roads would have had
to pay them that amount As a matter
ot tnet, the Uriel awards to the MUthern
people aggregate only about $$ti& The
railroads are permitted to keep the bal
ance ot the reparation money."
