ROADS CHARGE FRAUD
Claim Packers and Other Factories
Have Defrauded Companies by Short
Weights and Other Devices.

Chicago, April 17.-Rairoad officials
porations for years have been cheating
the railroads by misstating the char
acter of the goods they were shipping
and by shipping heavier packages than
the bills of lading called for.
They assert that the Glucose Com
pany also has taken advantage of them
thereby reducing it's freight bills by
thousands Of dollars a year, and that
other big shippers in the east are doing
things that have helped to diminish
the revenues which the railroads ought
to have received.
1t has BEEN estimated by the rail-
roads that the packers alone beat the
eastern roads out of $15O,O0O a year.
What they owe all the railroads out of
Chicago is problematical, but is esti-
mated at $5,0O0,000.
The railway men say they have
known all these things for years, and
In a way have demonstrated with the
packers and other companies which
We're cheating them, but within the
last few weeks they have made de-
termined effort to bring about a great
reform, and they intimate strongly that
unless the shippers make restitution
there will be grand expose before the
interstate commerce commission.
In fact the matter has gone so far
already that there is little chance of
an investigation by the commission
being prevented. 1t is a case of re-
taliation with the railroad companies.
Charges were made against them by
shippers, they We're bounded until they
We're obliged to obey the law much
more strictly than ever before in their
history, and now they are bound to
show that there are other offenders.
One of the schemes of the packers,
it is said, is to pack in barrels or
tierces chucks or homeless chucks both
of which are fresh meat. and subject
to first class rating. Over the top
of these they sprinkle salt and then
they mark the barrel or fierce salt
pork" which takes a much lower
commodity rate, and pay freight on the
latter article.
The rate on dressed beef and fresh
meats from Chicago to New York is
46 cents per hundred pounds The
rate is high because fresh meats have
to be handled on fast trains to prevent
their spelling. But the rate on salt
pork is only 80 cents hundred, and
as salt pork is packed in the same
sort of packages as homeless chucks,
it is difficult for the railroad inspect
ors to tell the difference. without OPP
ening each fierce.
