The resistance of the city of Fort Dodge
is based upon an ordinance passed in 1886,
granting to the Mason City & Fort Dodge
certain valuable real estate upon the
agreement by the railroad company to es-
tablish and maintain thereon it's passen-
ger and freight depots, it's engine house
and it's principal machine shops within the
state Of Iowa. This agreement affected
not only the Mason City & Fort Dodge
railroad company. but also it's assigns,
SUCCESSORS and lessees, and for this rea
son Is construed to apply to the Great
Western railroad, which purchased the
Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad The
same ordinance specifies that any other
shops for repairs shall not be located by
the railroad company it's assigns or les
sees, within sixty-dve miles of Fort
Dodge. AS Clarion is only thirty miles
away, it is claimed that the ordinance is
violated in still another respect.
Notice was served on the authorities of
the road to-day that the city was prepared
to hold the company strictly to the terms
of the ordinance, and further steps are
expected soon. The action was precipitated
by the definite statement of President
stickney at his recent visit to Fort Dodge
that the main shops and division point
would positively be located at Clarion.
The city solicitor has been instructed to
secure the best legal talent obtainable,
and it Is generally expected that the mat
ter will be carried into the courts.
Much feeling has been displayed over
the matter and a petition with hundreds
of signers, urging action to hold the rail-
road company to it's contract, was pre-
scented at the last meeting Of the city
council

A CHICAGO PLANT
Live Stock Men Say They Are Dis
eliminated Against.
SEA BOARD GETS THE BEST OF 1T
Formal Complaint Has Been Filed
With the Interstate Conn.,
merce Commi s sion.

Chicago, April 23.-Live stock. men of
this city charge the twenty six railroads
composing the Western Trunk Line COM
mittee with discriminating against Chi
cago as live stock market. Formal COM
plant has been made by the Chicago
Live Stock Exchange that the through
rate to the seaboard is enough lower than
the rate from western points to Chicago
to seriously effect the Chicago market.
The document has been filed with the
Interstate commerce commission and is
signed by T. w. Tomlinson, secretary OF
the exchange. The commission has sent
copies OF the complaint to the traffic Off
Gals of the lines interested, demanding
answers under oath to the questions
asked. The answer in nearly every case
is essentially the same and denies the al
legations.
Summarized, the charges are that the
roads mentioned are making rates on
live stock to Chicago which are unreason-
able and unjust, when compared with the
rates published on live stock products.
These rates, 1t is claimed. are in viola
ton of the Interstate commerce act,
which prohibits rate discrimination. It
is further charged that the rates COM
planned of operate to the disadvantage
and prejudice Of the live stock raisers in
the states named, when transporting from
Omaha, Sioux City, South st. Paul and
points east to Chicago. E
Lastly, it Is charged that the rates now
in force initiate against the Chicago live
stock exchange and against Chicago as
market for live stock. The principle con-
tended for by the live stock exchange, &C
cording to traffic officials, would become
impossible Of carrying out If applied to
| the entire country.
| 1t is claimed by the exchange that live
stock coming to Chicago should bear the
same rate as the Chicago proportion of
the through rate on live stock destined for
! the seaboard.
For example, the rate on live stock for
Chicago from Missouri river points is
23Ac. The proportion Of the through rate
taken by Chicago roads on live stock des-
tined from Missouri river points to the
seaboard is 1870.
If the rates were made the same it
would mean that all through rates would
have to be combinations of local rates,
and under such a regime the seaboard
rates would be prohibited to all the coun-
try west of the Missouri river.

passenger men Of New Orleans are talk ing just now Of the inauguration Sun day. by two separate lines. Of trains which will cover the distance between Cincinnati and New York in nineteen hours, or less. The installation Of these trains will make the trip from New Or leans tc New York practically as fast via Cincinnati as via Washington.
 First there came the news that the Big Four and the Lake Shore, Mich gan Southern and New York Central would, on June 15, put in a train which would cover the run between Cincinnati and New York !n nineteen hours flat It is understood that the decision to operate sUch train had it's incopu m with Presi- dent inGalls of the Big Four who. when he learned that Chicago was to he gwen train bl the Vanderbilt lines which would mean 20-hour service between that city and New York, declared that h" thought Cincinnati was entitled to train just q little faster. The train will run over tho Big Four from Cincinnati to Cleveland. the Lake shore to Buff li9. and from Buffalo to New York oyer the New Ycrf Central,

Within the next month every man or tho Pullman pay rolls will have signed Pullman conductors are not organized, and the petition will imply no threat. It is what it purports to be- simply a request for better wages.
 The conductors ask that new men be given $6I month for the first six months and $75 a month ther eafter, with SS5 after a certain period las been spent in the service of the company The maximum rate of pay is now $,5 a month. and the conductors are required to pay for tn iy own uniforms This means s5o to $15 a wear. and the men think the company ought to assume this expense after q man has been in service for more than six months.
 Another request included in ihe petl- ton is that all grievances he referred to the General Manager instead of the D.s- trict Superintendents. It was stated yes terday that some of the men who run out of New Orleans have already signed.

An important thing was the putting in yesterday of a 24-inch drain, the pipe leading from the new round house to the big drain of the city in the ravine. President Wickersham spent yes terday at the shops and at 11:30 o'cI ock in the morning left for Atlanta, Road master o. T. Nelson taking him up the road on the gasoline car.
 The employees of the shops are excited over the prospects of the second annual picnic which will be given on Saturday, June "l, week from tomorrow.
