A NEW MOVEMENT.
Organization of a 'eFreight Department. of
the Board of Trade.

Tho transportation committee of the
Board of Trade held meeting and organized
a freight department, which, under their di-
recton, will be III the care of the assistant score
tary. The railroads eentering here have kindly
furnished their joint and local tariff and classif-
cation sheets. and also agree TO furnish all
changes or new rates promptly as they are is
sued by the companies. The committee ordered
The issue OF 500 tariff books in pamphlet form,
containing joint rates opposite the names of
Of other stations for all all points within about
$50 miles Of the city, the pamphlets named to
be furnished only to members of the Board of
Trade upon the payment of a small subscription
to cover the cost of printing, and also the small
sheets OF new rates as they are issued. Upon mo-
ton of one of the two freight agents who is
members of the c0mInittee, it was agreed that
members of the Board OF Trade be requested to
file IN the secretary's office written evidence of
all cases of discrimination by the railroads
against this city, showing rates from Indianapo-
lis in comparison with rates offered their Gus
TONERS by competing roadg in favor OF other cit
les, and OF any cases where our roads make rates
prOpOrtlonateiy cheaper to other cities than to
this point; also, that after a sufficient number of
such claims are received to prove the partialtty
of any road to the detriment of this city, that
the transportation committee would then go be-
fore the next regular meeting of general freight
agents and present the claims of members all
at once, when, in the opinion of the committee,
the railroads will rectifV any discrimination
that is properly proven. This is also the Opin-
ION expressed by other freight agents in the city
not members of the committee,
