Rates VIII Cause Grain TO Move
Southwark for Export.

Southwark for Export.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: The
railroads between Chicago and the
Atlantic ports are doing all in their
power TO divert export grain traffic TO
the gulf ports The traffic officials of
the railroads in the Central Freight
association met here and agreed TO
maintain indefinitely the rates
which have been in effect during the
winter in Ey~ain and grain products
from here to the Atlantic ports.
These rates are To New York. on
grain and grain products for domestic
use, 20 cents per 100 pounds. on grain
for export, Is cents per 100 pounds
on grain products for export, Is Z
cents par loo pounds. The rates TO
Philadelphia are , cents less on grain
products and l cent less on grain.
and the rates to Baltimore are 3 cents
less on grain products and 4 cents
less on grain than the rates from Chi
cago TO New York
The western lines have agreed to
restore grain rates to the basis Of 4
cents per 100 pounds between Mis-
souri, river points and Chicago The
rates from Missouri river TO the gulf
ports will also be restored to the nor
nal basis of IS cents
The reason why grain from Ne
braska, Kansas. and other transmits
souri, territory viii go TO the gulf ports
for export instead of via Chicago 10
the Atlantic ports is because the rate
from Kansas City to New York viii
be % cents per 100 pounds, and from
Kansas City to New Orleans s cents.
or IL cents less per 100 pounds than
the rate TO New York.
For many years the presidents of
the great eastern trunk lines Scoffed
at the idea that their high rates east
from Chicago and St Louis would
cause grain for export to seek the gulf
ports In the first place declared
the great eastern railway managers.
there are no docks, warehouses or
elevators at any gulf ports to take
care of grain, and in the second place
they cannot get steamships TO go there
for grain, even if terminal facilities
were provided"
Despite this declaration the devel-
opnent of all the gulf ports has stead
lily progressed. and today more grain
is being exported from them than
from the Atlantic ports New York
export grain shipments and the bust
ness interests of that city and Phila-
delphia have urged the railroads TO
try to recover the lost tonnage The
railroads agree to do everything but
the one thing that viii divert grain
shipments from the gulf-reduce their
rates
During the season of lake naviga-
ton practically no grain for export
goes all rail from Chicago TO the At
lantic ports. Every summer less
for export. the low rates by the gulf
ports during the winter have been
utilized by shippers who in former
years had to store their grain or pay
the high rates demanded by the east
ern lines.

DUCKED N THE CREEK.
Horton Shopnen Give an Alleged
spotter Rough Treatment.

According to the Horton papers. the
Rock Island shop men there made life
a burden for an alleged "spotterH who
blew into town. supposedly for the
purpose of getting evidence to prove
that railroad employees had been drink
ing The spotter worked in the guise
OF a peddler.
According to trainmen the spotter
went to Horton some time ago from
Trenton. Missouri. where he was en-
pIoyed as a brakeman. He stayed
around Horton for some time and min
gled with the railroad men, One day
he left and a few days later 70 men
employed by the Rock Island were
given their discharges with the stated
reason that they had been seen drink
ing liquor.
The peddler was suspected at once
and when he returned to Horton yes
ter day the enraged railroaders gave
him a reception He started to leave
town on he front end OF a train and
fifteen railroad men boarded the same
train. When he recognized some of the
men who had been discharged he made
an attempt to get away but was
caught All OF the men took a hand
and when the spotter finally regained
consciousness he found himself in
creek south of Horton with Just d
few clothes on.
