ROADS FIND LITTLE . COMFORT IN RULING Linei to Chicago Will Benefit Slightly by Rise in Class Sates East of the Mis sissippi Elver. '. Railroad freight men in Omaha rre not ible to gither much comfort fr t the ruling of the Interstate Commerce commission, refusing to permit the lines to nrnkc a horizontal increase of IS per cent in freight rates. While the local railroad men are not disposed to criticise the ruling of the commission, they all assert that they are disappointed. They say that in presenting the case they made a strong showing and really expected that the increase would bt permitted. The Omaha-Chicago lines will bene fit by the increase permitted across Illinois and up to the Mississippi river, but west of the river they will haul every commodity except coal and coke at the old rate. In other words, an increase is permitted in class rates up to th river, hut no. west of there. Under this ruling, the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific are shut out of any chance in the increase on com modity rates. However, they will get their share of the increase on the rates on coal and coke that happens to be turned over by other lines. While the decision it not final and the entire rate question may come up before commission October 28, the date of the expiration of the aus pension of the proposed tariffs, local railroad men are not looking for any particular relief at that time. They assert that at the hearing before the commission they presented their case in detail and there is nothing more to add, so far as they know. Coal and Coke Excepted. General Manager Walter! of the Northwestern, last night, when in formed of the action of the Interstate Commerce commission, holding up until October 28, the proposed IS per cent increase in freight rates, which all of the roads had asked and which -was expected to havt became effec tive July 1, aaid: - "I aee the commission hat excluded coal and coke from the suspention or der, which I take it to mean that the western roadt will be permitted to ap ply the increased rates to the handling of these commoditiet. "It is impossible to state the exact date when the increased rates will be applied to coal and coke. First the tariffs must be published and the re quired thirty days' notice given. After that the rate will be in effect. - Coal furnishet an enormout tonnage for the western roadt ami at the de cision of the commission is handed down in time to the Increase can be applied in handling the ttocka to be brought in for next fall and winter, railroad freight officials are prettv ,.ii .t;fiff with the outcome of ef fort to aecure all around higher freight rates.
