Omaha daily bee., 1889-07-18

In addition to the schedule of rates above
given, your attention is called to the fact
that the rate on packing-house products
from st. Paul to Green Line, Mississippi
Valley, Arkansas and Texas points, is only
three-fourths of l per cent per hundred
pounds higher than the Oman rate to the
same territories, and on cotton-seed oil the
rate from Memphis to Kansas City is 25
cents per hundred pounds, while the rate to
Omaha is 30 cents.
Your attention is further called to the fol-
lowing facts:
/. That on all business east or west bound,
the Missouri river is made a basis of re-
classification OF rates, ana all the points of
the Missouri river are named as common,
and are given the Same rate on any given
commodity.
2. That tho Green Line and Mississippi
Valley territories are situated geographically
with relation to Omaha the same as Mon
tana and northwestern Pacific coast points
are to Kansas City; and st. Paul common
points are situated with relation to Kansas
City the same as Arkansas and Texas points
to Omaha. and to reach these several desti-
nations, whether north or south bound, your
road and it's connections are employed in the
transportation of the pa~cking-house prod
ucts of both cities.
3. That the Omaha packers are competi-
tors with Chicago and other packing points,
including Kansas City, for the provision
trade OF The territories named and that the
cost of manufacturing the product is greater
pt nan ~ as wy ~
reason of the greater cost OF coal, salt, boxes,
cooperage, lumber, machinery and other
materials; and that the difference in freight
of seven and one-half cents, six cents, or
even three cents, per hundred pounds on
packing house products in favor OF the pack
ers of one city and against the packers of
another-competitors for the same trade-is
highly discriminative and ruinous and must
result disastrously to the latter. 1t will also
appear that the hardship imposed upon
Omaha packers is greatly increased when it
is considered that by reason of the extern
sive facilities afforded by your own and
associated roads the Kansas City packers
are direct competitors with Omaha for the
hogs and cattle in the southern section of
Nebraska and Iowa, while Sioux City and
st. Paul packers draw their supply of
hogs and cattle from adjacent terri.
tories with little or no COM
petition from other points. In other
words, Omaha must buy its supply Of hogs
and cattle in the highest market and sell the
product in southern territory at a loss of
from 63 to 7 cents per hundred pounds,
while Kansas City and st. Paul-extreme
points-under your partial and discriminat-
ing tariffs, pass our doors in either direction
at Omaha rates and compete for the same
trade with q cheaper product.
We therefore respectfully submit That
Kansas City is in no other or different posi-
ton than Omaha. and on no ground entitled
to greater benefit at the hands OF your road

wronged.
Discrimination.

The great packing house of the Armour.
Cudahy company has addressed a protest to
the principal railroads Of the country. setting
forth the tariff on their product from Omaha
rs against that from Kansas City to destina-
tions to which regular shipments are made.
A marked discrimination Is shown, prevailing
rates from Kansas City being q to ~ cents per
hundred lower than from Omaha, In some
cases. They ask that the Kansas City rates bo
advanced, or the Omaha rates lowered, or
both that the rates shall be equalized, and that
neither of the two cities shall have cause to
suffer from unjust discrimination
The protest is as follows:
We beg TO call your attention TO tho rela-
tive rates imposed by your road and its con-
%nections on packing house products, north
and south bound, from Missouri river points
to points OF distribution in Green Line, Mis-
souri, Valley, Arkansas and Texas territories,
tana common and northwest Pacific coast
points, in the other.
We submit below q statement, for ~illustra-
ton, showing the rates south-bound in force
from three originating points on the Missouri
river, from which IL will appear that tho rate
on packing house and dressed beef products
from Kansas City to the territories named is
from o to ~ cents per 100 pounds lower than
from Omaha; while on north-bound business
tho rate from Kansas City to Montana COM
mon and northwest Pacific coast points is no
greater than the rate from Omaha, and to
ST Paul common points only 2 cents per 100
higher.
