their threats.
The western roads have definitely
decided to abolish the feeding In tran
SIT rates which have been granted 10
stock men for the last several years.
The date has not been definitely decid-
ed. though 1t will probably be May
.nth. The Kansas roads cannot change
the rate much sooner than that. as the
state law requires sixty days notice
OF changes. 1t II the expressed opin.
Ion that all roads Will make the change
at the same date To avoid confusion.
The stock men In the western range
country have made vigorous but In
cnectunl fight to retain the rate. as II
has been OF immense benefit to them.
The reason given by the railroads Is
that the privilege has been abused by
stock men selling the cattle and bill Of
ladinr nfter they have been unloadcd
ana plnced In the feed yards. and also
that tho corn consumed dcprives the
roads OF just that much freight.
