Lost Twn Fingsrs

While working about the engine in
the Viroqua Touring mill, this morning.
Louis Thompson, one of the proprietors,
suffered the misfortune of the loss OF
the index and second finger on his left
hand By accident his hand was caught
in the crank of the engine smashed to
a jelly, necessitating amputation. 1t Is
an accident that brings regret to the
many friends of the young man. The

their milling enterprise, and this is q
serious grievance to them in a personal

BOYCOTT OF RAILROADS BY
SPOKANE CAUSES RUMPUS

terminal and Spokane rates was mini
mized.
Railroad men say that early and un-
authentic reports that Spokane had
been ignored by the freight bureau
really caused the trouble. In any
event the shippers were gotten together
and tied up in an agreement not 70
patronize he northern lines. II was
declared this kind Of pledge would
compel the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific to grant the requested con-
cessions.
The question Is one the traffic men
viii not handle. II has been passed up
10 the executives OF the northern lines.
and an immediate announcement OF
policy is one that cannot be made.
Under the circumstances traffic men
feel a hesitancy about discussing the
situation. The following explanation.
however, was given yesterday by a
prominent railroad Official:
There Is no justice In the position
taken by Spokane. We should have
been consulted before anything was
done, and believe had the shippers
known that Spokane received many
concessions from the Chicago meeting
no trouble would have occurred. In
stead Of sending a committee to i'm
vestigate, the shippers announced the
boycott and began the fight.
As / understand it. the Spokane ship
pers themselves are not unit in their
demands. It stands to reason that cer-
tain commodities where water compe-
tition is generally acknowledged can
not take a terminal rate at Spokane.
Some Of the inland shippers realize
this, while those directly interested
hold out for reduction in charges.
Spokane is taking rather selfish
position, too. There is no reason why
that city alone Of inland jobbing cen-
ters should have the special rates. OF
course, Spokane is now the largest job
bing center In eastern washington. but
there will be other good towns there,
and we should not be compelled to dis
criminate in favor OF Spokane alone.
That city asks Us to protect II in the
iobbing trade north Of the Snake river
and insists upon concessions we should
not be asked to make.
The jobbers at Spokane must ship to
some OF their territory over in the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
OF course. they want these roads to
continue to favor them in every way.
despite the boycott.
There is no reason why the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific should
be picked out to force the terminal
rates. These roads have been fairer
to Spokane than the o. r. & NJ, but
that system IS to be favored, to the ex-
clusion of others. There is no telling
how the fight will end. but it win be an
contest. 1t must work out
its own solution before the roads can
interfere.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-03-03

Seattle, March 2.-Traffic officials Of
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern are inclined to believe the Spokane
boycott against these two roads will
wear Itself out in a short time. Rail
road men say that the fight has the
merit OF a just complaint, and that
prominent shippers will not remain tied
up to the agreement to fight the two
systems.
The Spokane shippers are insisting
upon fat reduction OF rates from
eastern points to Spokane. so as to
make the rates on different commodi-
ties the terminal rate plus rs per cent.
Of the local between Seattle or Port
land and Spokane. Until this rate Is
granted the shippers declare they VIII
patronize the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
CATION Company. to the exclusion Of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. ~
A number Of Spokane jobbers have
been tied up TO an agreement on this
question and have already Cancelled or
ders for cars to be sent west over the
two northern lines. Other shippers are
declaring an intention to enter the
agreement. The movement is as near
ly general as any other anti-raiIroad
fight that has been made in Spokane.
Not all the shipments from eastern
points to Spokane are controlled BY
the shipper Of the inland city. Such as
Spokane does not control. railroad men
say win be routed as In the past. and
they confidently believe that there will
be large percentage Of shippers that
win not take up the fight.
The boycott movement Of Spokane
shippers originated at a time when all
the coast traffic men of rate-maling
authority were in Chicago attending
the meeting Of the freight bureau that
controls western traffic matters. These
traffic men have just returned to find
war has been started against them
They express a feeling of resentment
that they were not first consulted and
show a disposition to believe that the
movement was started without knowl-
EDGE OF the real situation.
The Chicago meeting was called for
the purpose Of harmonizing number
Of rate disagreements. When the new
commodity tariff OF January Is went
into effect, rates on shipments to coast
points were changed, and in many in
stances the old TO Spokane prevailed.
The Chicago meeting was expected to
correct this.
In taking care Of the Chicago charges
the traffic men made large number OF
concessions to Spokane, extending to
that city carload rates that had not
been granted in the past, and otherwise
reducing charges on many commodities.
The reductions were. Of course proper
tionate cuts, for Spokane felt the ef-
feet of the new tariff as well as the
coast cities. The difference between
