The benefit, however, that the Umaha

the Omaha-Chicago lines as well as those
farther w.t arc preparing schedules
which Jn the near future they will present
to the' JnteiMnte l"onim.rc commission.
They will contend that these schedules
will show that the lines west of the
Mississippi river are doing business at a
Iota, owing to the increased expense In
operation and that It, order to keep out
of the hands tt receivers they must be
permitted to Increaso their rates on all
classes of freight.
Increase Wonted.
What Increase in freight rales the
Omaha-Chicago and wtstern roads will
ask has not been determined upon. It Is
asserted.. but tt Is hinted that It will not
bo less than 5 per cent, and possibly
more
Around railroad headquarters In Omaha
it ia asserted by officials that the decll
slon of the commission to grant the roada
of the Central association permission to
lncreae rates Is encouraging . and- hvlhe
opening -wedge that may mean an Increase
over the-er.trre countrs'. , - .
Ralbad. men . point mit that' the ulti
mate consumer wlll'nevef feel the effects
of th IrirVeaseV tfcat ' 1ms' "been recently
Kranted. 1 saying thAt it la o little that
on a sUItof clothes, for. instance, a -pair
of shoes -or a; package xt coMee that it
will amount to only a fraction of a cent
According to' the- Interstate Commerce
ruling, according to, .railroad men. coal,
the heaviest commodity, Is exempt from
the Increase, though It applies on Iron
and steel.
Omaha Lines Share.
Aa to the participation In the 6 per
cent Increase allowed, the Omaha-Chicago
loads will uhare to this extant: Freight
originating east of Central association
territory will not take on the Increase.
The Increase will apply only to consign
ment! originating In tho Central terri
tory and the Omaha-Chicago roads will
Bt such proportion of tbe increase of
5 per cent aa that portion of the haul
between Chicago and the MisslMrlppl river
bears to the entire haul. Tor Instance,
if the total haul ia 50) miles and the
proportion from Chicago to the Missis
sippi river were 100 miles, the Chicago
Omaha roada would receive one-fifth of
the increase. If the old rate wti M
cents per 109 pound the Increase would
advance it to SS cents. Thus the Omah
Chicago roada would get . 5 per cent on fiO
'cents for the haul across Illinois anil to
the. Mississippi river points.

To Milton Slock, who replaced Artie
Shafer at third, must go much of ths
credit for the Giants' fine showing In the
rennant ra;e. When Shafer decided to
retire from base ball and refused to sign
a contract in the spring he left a hole at
third that MoGraw expected to find all
kinds of trouble In filling. Stock who,
because of inexperience had spent two
seasons farming out, was given a chance
In Shafer'a place and is playing quits
as well as did the man he succeeded.
His hitting has been heavy and his field
ing sensational. MoQraw can find no
cause to regret his action.
