A War on Live Stock Rates From the Mis-

A War on Live Stock Rates From the Mis-
souri, River to Chicago Imminent.
CHICAGO, October 26.-Another war On
live stock rates from the Missouri river to
Chicago seems to be imminent. The recent
agreement fixes a tariff on cattle of $68.75
per car from the Indian Territory to Chica-
60 by way of Kansas City, of which rate the
lines from the Indian Territory to Kansas
City are allowed 40 per cent. and the lines
from Kansas City TO Chicago so per cent
Two Of the Kansas City roads run from the
Territory through to Chicago, but they have
not been able to control this traffic satisfaC-
tOrily and are said to have taken steps that
are not approved by other roads, being IN
able to send cars of cattle through over the
lines they refused to bill through at through
rates, but charge connecting lines local rates
to Kansas city. If the lines east from Kan
sas City take the business from Kansas City
at full rates their through rates will be
$16.75 per car higher than the rate provided
by the schedule
The roads affected by this have deter
mined to take any cars coming to them ct
Kansas City to Chicago for the balance left
of the through rae after the local tariff of
S36.25 to Kansas City has been taken out.
This will make the rate from Kansas City to
Chicago $3.50 instead Of S4I.25.
