BUSINESS MEN
MAKE DEMANDS.

The Trans-Missouri Freight bureau
this morning got down to solid work
and Judging by the size Of the supple
mentary docket the members will have
all they can do to get through by to-
morrow night.
The feature Of this mornings ses-
sion was the protest fled by the Trans
portation committee Of the Commercial
club. Those who appeared were Chair
man T. G.. Weber, Stephen II. Love,
c. Z. Mason, Warren c. Bogue, Ben
+. Bauer and Joseph +. Gallagher.
After the committee had been admit
ted to the room on the fifth floor Of the
Knutsford and the usual preliminaries
were INDUCED In they proceeded TO en-
ter protest against the raising Of the
mining machinery rate on August /
from so cents to sl.25 from Chicago TO
Utah points, also against the seggrega
ton OF iron pipe, roofing and structur-
al iron from the mining machinery tar
III now In operation.
Another request made by the commit
tee was that change be made In the
existing rates ON denims, so as to en-
able the local overall factories TO sue
cessfully compete with outside manu-
facturers. The existing rate OF E.l5 on
carload lots from Chicago and $3.50 on
less than carloads. In the opinion Of
the committee, should be cut down to
$3.50 on carload lots of 10000 pounds.
This rate they asked TO be put Sato ef-
feet so as to enable Salt Lake TO sue
cessfully compete with other manufac-
turers.
The members of the bureau listened
to the arguments introduced by the
members OF the committee and prom
ised to take the matters under advise
ment.
This afternoon members Of the Com
mercial club and local railroad officials
escorted the visitors out to Saltair and
initiated them into the mysteries OF
salt water ablutions.

souri, Freight bureau In this city Is the
