The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1902-12-04

Mr.. Resing IS the commissioner Of the
Wichita Traffic Bureau ard it vas
through the EFFORTS of the members Of
the association and himself that the big
reduction IN implement ties Was made
iast summer. The members OF the asso-
ciati0n and himself made a request Of
the railroads that they give Wichita the
same rates IS al other towns in f.ansas
nave and the railroads granted them
Then il was found that the Wichita
rates Were SO arranged th3t an nipple
nent dealer could snip his goods 10
ichita and then re-ship them cheaper
han he could from Kansas City. This
worked a hardship On the Kansas City
dealers ana they would not stand Tor
it. and It was really more than the tTich-
t. people asked for. The rates were
readjusted. however, so that Wichita en-
Joys practically the same rates rs Kan
sas City and q dealer south of this city
nays but per cent more freight from
Wichita than he Goes from Kansas City,
and he gains tine.
He stated that the rate from Wichita
to Enid, O. T., on binders in mixed car
lots was 50 cents per hundred and from
Chicago to Wichita or car lets u cents
per hundred and 5he total rate on the
same goods from Chicago TO Enid, when
shipped through Kansas City. was Si-46
per hundred. while the total rates. when
shipped through Wichita, was Sl.23 per
hundred. This is an advantage of IS
cents per hundred pounds IN favor Of
Wichita
MI Resing recited some more rates
and comparisons with Kansas. CITY rates
which he asked the dealers and manu-
facturers to consider.
Toward the close Of the session ycster-
day Mr.. c. II. Smythe announced that
most cordially invited the dealers to take
a ride over'the city. and the Jacob Dold
and John CuGahy packing companies had
invited them 10 visit their plants and
see how the hogs raised on Kansas and
oklahoma farms from corn cultivated by
Kansas and Oklahoma farmers with i'm
plements sold by Kansas and Oklahoma
implement dealers were killed by Kansas
and Oklahoma men in Wichita pack

Giving to the executive session 10 be
held this morning at 8 O'Clock the dealers
