ROADS COMPLAIN
OF LIGHT TRAFFIC
Springs Business Has Fallen
Short of Officials Ex-
peCtatiOnS.

Traffic officials of Western roads admit
that business this spring is the poorest
for three years Traffic has fallen not
only in grains but in merchandise, lumber.
coal, and iron. There has been a gradual
shrlhkage for month, and the roads are
now facing conditions that are the poorest
for tonnage and net earnings that they
have seen for long time.
Reports from Eastern railroads indicate
that the volume of traffic is about 90 per
cent less than in the corresponding period
of last year. The decrease in freight
shipments is not quite so great on the
Western lines, being estimated at from
10 to Is per cent
1t is stated that today practically all
the railroads in the United States have
more freight cars than they can keep
profitably employed. The shutting down
OF iron and steel works and other manu-
factories has caused a big loss of ton
mage to the Eastern lines, and it has
also been felt by the Western roads. I'm
seasonable weather and bad roads have
caused greater loss in traffic to the West
eTn lines. So far grain shipments have
held up surprisingly well, but there has
been big decrease in lumber and coal
traffic.
Prepare for Rush.
While the roads now have much idle
equipment and probably will have for
several months, they are taking precau-
t1ons against such a shortage Of cars as
they mad last fall and summer. The Bur
llngton, Rock Island Northwestern, Santa
re. and other lines have recently given
large orders for freight cars. Some of
stroyed or retired because of small capa-
city. but the big orders are being placed
this early by all the roads in anticipa-
ton OF greatly increased traffic in the fall.
Rates have been fairly We'll maintained
except those on grain from the Missouri
river to Chicago and ST. Paul, and on
sugar from the East and New Orleans to
the Missouri river. Strong efforts are
being made to bring about a restoration
OF the grain rates, as with the opening
OF navigation more grain will be shipped
TO chicago. and If the present rates re-
main in effect the railroads win suffer
great loss of revenue.

ing period last year. Practically the same

Competing Roads Say Great
Western Secured Fruit
Shipment by TriCkery.

Competition for the transportation of
green fruit is quite active at this time,
and agents of roads interested in getting
the traffic are closely watching each
others movements.
Considerable feeling has been aroused
by the discovery that seventeen carloads
recently shipped to Gamble & Robinson,
OF Minneapolis. were moved under condi-
lions that seem to justify the conclusion
that there was irregularity in the rate
charged
The shipment from New York was
routed via the Lackawanna line to Chi
cago and thence to destination over the
Chicago Great Western. The latter is
accused Of taking the business at a figure
made by manipulating the import basis
and applying 1T to the haul from Chi
cago. The low rate was not, however.
made in New York. but in the offices Of
the company at St. Paul The New York
representative of Western road which
completes with the Great Western in dis
cussing the matter said:
Green fruit is not important traffic.
Therefore, in whatever way the import
basis was used to make a rate sufficiently
low to enable the Great Western to close
the deal was improper. That there was
trif1ing with established rules is clearly
evident when it is understood that the
delivering station at destination is a mile
and half from what is known in Mime
apolis as commission row. and all other
roads have their freight houses within a
stones throw of that place.
Charges Are Absorbed.
There has been an absorption of cart
age charges, with all or in part, but what
ever the method employed it made posi-
ole the naming of a rate that was at
tract1ve enough to give the Great West
ern the business. The Lackawanna line
may have had knowledge of what was
gong on and what was done, but we do
not believe it was in any way a party to
the transaction beyond the fact that it had
the benefit of carrying the shipment to
Chicago. %
We are quite positive that so far as
that part of the route is concerned. the
reduction from tariff did not apply. Little
tricks of this character are demoralizing
Since that big shipment went forward no
other irregularity has been suggested. the
traffic being divided among various roads .
