a 3O-IooG car was 10 accommodate the
small shipper In order that he might
have the benefit of light loading. A
statement of the business done during
February by the Missouri Pacific was
submitted, and it showed that the bust
ness under the new rate amounted to
S29,680Ol. The Missouri Pacific freight
agent admitted that 9,225 would have
been the amount under the old rate. 1t
was shown by cross examination Of the
witnesses for the company that the rate
from Cofeyville to Kansas City had
been increased $l.60 per car.
Attorney Joe Waters appeared for the
cattlemen. They were also represented
by Attorneys Benefel of Coffeyville,
Davis Of Eureka and Rea of Mankato.
On the suggestion Of Mr.. Waters the
case was submitted to the board without
argument.
The board decided the case, the decis-
ion being rendered by Chairman Joseph
G. Lowe. It is as follows:
'In the consideration of this case there
are two propositions. First--Whether
the old rate Of so many dollars per car
was proper or whether the hundred
weight rate is fair and equitable. Sec
ond-Whether or not tFe freight has
been increased under the new rate, and
if so, whether it is unfair, unjust and un-
equitable.
"In answer to the first the board is OF
the opinion, individually and as a whole,
that the hundred-weight is the fairest
and best way, and that the shipper
should pay cents per hundred weight.
The board reserves, however, the right
to change this opinion.
"The second proposition W. are unable
to answer at the present time. 1t is a
matter Of great import and time must
be given for an examination of all the
statements and papers offered in evil
dence. There can be no question,
though, that the price of transportation
has been raised, and the board will fully
consider the proposition, deciding at as
early date as possible.
"In the meantime it is ordered that
the old rate be restored pending an
agreement between the board and the
different roads upon proper aud equita-
BILE schedule"
The decision Of the board was by unan-
imous vote. The original date for re-
storing the old rate was April Is, butthe
roads protested that they could not rear
range the old tariff in that length of
time, and an extension OF FIVE days was
given. The cattlemen were very much
pleased with the result and think that
all the points will be decided in their
favor.
