STOCK MEN WIN.
Discrimination Through Use or Cars OF
Different sizes Is Wiped Out.

Different Sizes Is Wiped Out.
A change on the part of the western
railroads in their mode of fixing rates
on the shipment of live stock, for
which change the stock ya-ds here and
at other important centers and the
stockmen of the trans Missouri country
have been pleading for several years
is about to be made, says the Omaha
Bee. There will be an abolition of the
present practice of charging the ship
ment of live stock at so many dollars
per carload and a conversion to the
more desirable custom of making rates
at so many cents per 100 pounds of live
stock shipped.
Directly, this is the result of a con-
ference of freight men of western rail-
roads, which has been quietly held at
Kansas City during the past two days.
Indirectly, it is the result of long
series of meetings and innumerable
conferences with stockmen. There
was a meeting in Denver last week,
which was attended by freight officials
of all the Omaha and other western
roads, No conclusion as to the propo-
sitiOn was reached and the proceedings
were kept extremely quiet.
lt hdISttS tlJl ultCtlhB
Tuesday and the Omaha officials in at
tendance reached home yesterday.
They state that the exact basis upon
which live stock shipments in the trans
Missouri country will hereafter be
made has not yet been agreed upon.
There are three basis under cOnsidera-
ton and at another conference of the
freight men one of these will be
agreed upon. 1t is settled, however,
that live stock rates will hereafter be
so many cents per hundred pounds in
stead of so many dollars per carload.
For several years many stockmen
have been urging the railroads to
equalize the freight charges on cattle
shipped from western points to South
Omaha, Kansas City and other points
on the Missouri river. The stockmen
have been backed by the stock yards
companies at these points. About d
year ago an effort was made to insti-
tute the custom of charging by weight,
but the effort did not meet with sue
cess. One of the contentious of the
stockmen has been that the varying
size of freight cars has made charges
by carload instead of by weight an un-
fair practice. Some of the stOckmen
have opposed the change, insisting
that to charge by weight instead of
by carload would mean an increase in
rates to them. The general opinion,
however, appears to be that the change
will be for the best interests of all con-
cerned. When payment is made for
every 100 pounds of live stock shipped
in from the west there can be no ia
vors shown the shipper, by giving him
ears of greater capacity than another
StOceman receives.

that the very nature of pension cases
