involving the greatest consideration on the
part of the club and the most work on
the part OF Commissioner McVann was tho
defeat OF the double shift 1remen's bill,
which affected only Omaha.
Another work of the club was the adj
vocacy before the city council of the va
cation by the city of a portion of Thir-
tenth street, where the Independent Ele-
vator company wished to erect its plant.
The movement was strongly opposed by
the Burlington and Union Pacific railroads.
Tho street was vacated and the elevator
has been built.
The year ending July has seen n great
many changes in railroad rates in this
territory, nearly all Of them of advantage
to Omaha. Among the establishments due
to the efforts of the Commercial club were
rates on steam coal, stucco, rice, beer,
cement, lime, sulphur dip and stock foods.
The club co-operated with the American
Shippers association in knocking out the
obnoxious uniform bill OF lading. Com
missioner McVann worked with a special
commissioner appointed to defend Omaha's
Iowa rates against threatened advance,
and succeeded not only in averting II.

favored by the Steel trust, much to the
advantage of omaha's hardware jobbers.

club is actively interested in inducing cap

One of the problems before the club is
how to get the railroads to give better pas
senger and freight service to the city. Tho
city is so situated, midway between Chi
cago and Denver, that most through trains
must pass through early in the morning
or late in the evening. More local train
service is needed.
Tho trade excursions this year have been
more successful than in former years.
More men took advantage Of the excursions
and a better feeling was found to exist
at the towns along the line. Usually two
excursions are made, but this year there
have been two already and another is
planned. There is no question but that
these excursions bring material results, for
