TROUBLE OVER THROUGH RATES
In the Western Freight Association.
Chicago, Nov. 7.-Chairman Midgeley,
of the Western Freight association, has
issued a circular letter to members
recommending the withdrawal Of exist
ing through rate arrangements with the
gulf lines. He says that during the last
two years repeated efforts have been
made to secure a conference between q
duly appointed committee of the Western
roads and a like representation of the
New Orleans Traffic association for the
purpose of canvassing rates which have
from time to time been issued from gulf
ports on import and domestic traffic
when destined to territory northerly or
westerly from st. Louis. These eff
forts have not been successful, and the
situation is steadily growing worse. On
many articles the rates from New Or
leans to Sioux Falls, 8. D., are scarcely
higher, and in a few instances actually
less, than the tariff on the same articles
from Chicago to Sioux Falls. Fol ex-
ample, the rate ON sugar is 80 cents from
New Orleans and q cents from Chicago;
on crockery and ~earthenware, 80 cents
from New Orleans and ~ cents from
Chicago; on coffee, IS cents from New
Orleans and q cents from Chicago; Of
molasses. 25 cents from New Orleans and
- cents from Chicago; on rice, IS cents
from New Orleans and q cents from
Chicago; on salt, 20 cents from New Or
leans and Is cents from Chicago. For
years there has been exhibited q de-
termination to make such rates from
New Orleans to Kansas City as the ini~''
tial thinks necessary to secure the bust
ness. At least one road carried the Kan
sas City rates to Omaha and Council
Blufts; another extended them to Sioux
City and Sioux Falls, and SO they spread
through Iowa and the adjacent territory.
The people of North Iowa are protesting
vigorously against the inequality. Chair
mar Midgley thinks the roads in the,
Western Freight association should en-.
deavor to remedy the situation by with
drawing their prorating arrangements
with the Southern lines, and exacting
their full local rates on shipments from
the gulf ports destined to points in their
territory. He therefore formally notified
the members that all tariffs from the
gulf ports or foreign and domestic traf.
nc destined to the territory west and
northwest of st. Louis, that have not
been duly approved pursuant to the rules
prescribed by the Western Freight asso-
clation, are declared unauthorized, and
that all such tariffs should be withdrawn,
the cancellation to become effective Dec.
10. Exception is made of rates on tin
plate, earthenware and salt to the Mis-.
souri, river, since on those rates reduced
proportions have been authorized via the
North Atlantic seaports in competition
with the New Orleans routes. In the
meantime Chairman Midgley promises
to make another effort t0farrange q con.
Terence with the Southern lines. -
