PACKAGE RATES REDUCED
Railroads VIII Restore Former Tariff
on This Glass of
Freight,

CHICAGO, July lit was announced
here today that the railroads of the mid
die west have decided to restore the old
rates on package freight, putting into
force again the former minimum charges
for shipments of this character. The
movement means a saving of thousands of
dollars annually to the shippers Of this
section.
The old minimum of % cents was in
force from Chicago to the Mississippi river
and st. Paul. West of there as far as
central Kansas the charge was so cents
and from that, section to the coast the
minimum was Is cents. The change made
a year ago, when these rates were abol-
ished and the first-class rates were sub
stituted, brought increases of from 80 to
300 per cent. The increase, for instance, to
Oklahoma points was from 70 cents to $3.50
and to common Colorado points it was $3.50.
The roads found, however, that the dis
parity in rates caused by the various min
imum charges established by the state
| commissions give some cities advantages
over neighboring distributing centers.
Milwaukee could ship to all Wisconsin
points on a minimum of % cents, whereas
it cost Chicago considerably more. Sim
ilarly Omaha had a better opening to many
markets of the middle west than other
towns within comparatively the same dis
lance.
In addition, according to some Of the
transportation experts, the new rates drove
a considerable amount of business to the
express companies, who were not affected
by the decision to raise the charges. The
old rates are to be restored within a few
weeks.
