GRAIN TOLLS FOR ACTION
Bridge and Switching Charges Come Be-
fore Trunk Line Association.
KNoTTY PROBLEM FOR THE OFFICIALS
Meeting VIII BE held in Chicago and
Anticipates Action of Union
Pacific and Great
Western.

The executive committee of the Western
Trunk Lines association will meet in Chi
ca go Wednesday to consider the matter of
switching charges and bridge tolls for
grain at the Omaha market. This situation
has developed into quite a knotty problem.
The Union Pacific has changed its rate on
cars of grain from Council Bluffs to oman
from 81 per car to l cent per 100. This
will amount to IS to Sc per car and is
practically prohibiSive. The grain is hauled
from Omaha to Council Bluffs by the
Union Pacific for 81 car still The Com
mercial club has protested to the Interstate
Commerce commission on this advance and
hearing soon will be held.
The Great Western has announced that
after January 16 it will haul grain free
from Council Bluffs to elevators situated
on its own lines in Omaha. This includes
two of the largest elevators, the Nye-
Schneider-F Fowler and the Independent.
owned by the Great Western. This is
what Mr.. Muproe, freight traffic manager
of the Union Pacific maintains all the
Iowa lines should do with grain from the
east. He maintains 1t is their business
and not that of the Union Pacific to haul
Iowa grain from Council Bluffs to Omaha,
all have contracts with the Union Pacific
by which they run their own trains across
the bridge, He claims there is no reason
in further congesting the already crowded
yards at Council. Bluffs where there is no
need of II.
Railroads have been in the habit Of alb
sorbing the incoming switching charges on
car of grain when they get IT for the
haul out and have paid no attention to II
when the 81 was added as switching
charges. but when it comes to So, they say
they will object.
The Union Pacific now has a charge OF
cents per 100 on merchandise from the
east, 2 cents on brick, 8 cents on canned
goods, cents on cement and 81 car or
soft coal. At these rates they do not get
any business as all roads bring it on to
Omaha.
Kansas Roads Cut Rates.
The announcement made by The Bee Mon

CONFLICT WITH

Central Case.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Edgar H. Farrar,
counsel for Stuyvesant Fish, today
took up the argument in favor of the
injunction restraining Z. H. Hartman
and others from voting certain shares
of stock at the annual meeting of the
Illinois Central. Judge Farrar assert
ed that the charter of the Railroad Sc
curities company of New Jersey, which
now holds the stock which Mr. Harri-
man wants to vote, contains the power
and germ of monopoly in its worst
form. It was, he said, unlike the North
ern Securities company. not confined to
the control of two corporations. but a
securities company which spreads its
wings over every state and territory in
the Union. He cOntended that such a
corporation could not come into I'LL
nOis and own and vote stocks in the
public service corporations of the state,
since to do so would be in conflict with
the public policy of the state. Mr.
Farrar had eighty-fOuF law books on
the table near him, and he quoted lib
orally from these.
