MANY Harrison county farm
ers, who are not necessarily hos
tile to railroads in general, and
the Baltimore and Ohio system
in particular. feel that they have
aserious grievance in the matter
of freight rates on cattle shipped
to eastern markets. Prominent
shippers have asserted to the
TELEGRAM that they have gone
to settle their freight bills at
Philadelphia. and been forced to
pay $50 to $50 on the carload
more than shippers who had
brought their cattle over the
same road from distant points in
Ohio and the West. They fail to
understand why the cattle dealer
who lives 300 or 400 miles further
west should for years have had
freight rates SO much lower than
!, the Harrison county farmer.
They claim that the B. & o. has
iiseriminated against the West
Virginian. and many of them are
not kindly disposed toward the
b. & y. in matters affecting taxa
