SHIPPERS ARE ILL ADVISED.
Statement Made by Leading Hartman
Traffic Official.

Chicago. July est seems to me
that the action of some of the shipping
organizations in trying to invoke the
aid of the Sherman act is i'll advised,
unfair and vindictive." This state
ment was made by ]. c. Stubs, traffic
director of the Hartman lines, today,
when he was asked to give his views
on the situation with regard to pur-
posed increases in freight rates.
II believe that those same inter-
ests,' continued Mr.. Stubs, eff asked
with the interstate commerce commits
sion and with President Roosevelt
himself that it is necessary for the
railroads to confer if there are to be
uniform and stable rates, and If there
is to be order in the transportation
world instead of chaos. The repeal of
that portion of that law which appears
to make it illegal for railroads to
agree with respect to rates has been
condemned by the very power to
which the Cincinnati shippers are ap-
pealing. Furthermore, it is my honest
belief that the railroads have not vio-
lated the antitrust provisions of the
act in any action they have taken with
respect to freight rates.
I'm the present rate problem l be-
lieve that it would be possible for any
well Informed traffic man to sit down
with a large portion of the shippers
individually and to convince them that
the railroad position in this matter is
the logical one from even their stand
point. Under the system of organiza-
ton now in vogue among shippers,
however, 1t is extremely difficult to get
at the shippers in the right spirit, that
is, to get at the men who really think
upon these subjects
81 have always been a firm believer
in conference between the railroads
and the shippers, but there would not
be much profit in comforting with men
who had made up their minds that we
are lot OF lawbreakers and should be
indicted"

In the last two weeks Vesper has
shipped out thirty car loads of new
wheat, aggregating about 10000 BUSH

of threshing coal and several cars of
stock cattle which will try to hold
down the finest growing pastures seen
anywhere in the state. The farmers

weather has been in their favor for

Using years in the history of Lincoln

In one day vesper station shipped

Vesper has three elevators. 1t is es-
timated that about 100000 bushels Of

Up to the 21st of the month there had
been handled by the Vesper elevators
about one-fourth as much as was mar
keted the entire season Of 1907.

yard; it has general store and big

diets the farmers will do a large
amount of building this fall. the pros

great prosperity. Mr.. Lawler has an
, up-to-date work house supplied with
machinery for finishing building ma
terials. And there are the machine and
machine and repair shops operated by
Jensen & Guggisberg, which do all
kinds of woodwork and can make a
wagon as good as any. The shops are
supplied with modern machinery and
would be a credit in a town of larger
population than has Vesper. And to
make the town more attractive, there
has been a first class hotel opened. The
town has never had a boom, but when
her business men, railroad and farm
ers come down to prosperity Vesper is
in it.

traffic and it is his business now to
make up a record of all such stretches
of road. many of which are unknown
to the commission. The extent of the
work is shown by the fact that Mr..
Sanford, stenographer and force of
sixteen clerks, to which twenty are to
be added. When the compilation is

mine whether the operation of any of
these industrial or switching roads is
such as to make them subject to the
law.
Already $4,000 pieces of such rail-
roads. varying in length from a few
feet to thirty or forty miles, and hith-
erto not upon the books Of the COM
mission, have been entered up. Many
are obscure and have no names, while
others have adopted pretentious
names even though only a mile or two
long, one such being the Lake Super

corning lines of this character owned
by the Standard Oil company and not
previously known to the commission
are sufficient to fill six or eight closely
written cards, and there are still more
The International Harvester company
has four railroads about which the
commission has heretofore had no
knowledge. The United States Steel
corporation has quite collection and
hundreds of other Industrial mining
and lumber corporations are found to
be owners of more or less complete
railroads.
The industrial roads are largely used
in carrying raw materials for manufac-
turing operations, and in conveying
finished products to connecting rail-
road lines. Many of them perform
services quite like the regular carriers,
and there was a time when they secur-
present rate legislation no freight
charge may be made except by a rail-
road having a regular tariff filed with
the commission.
The fact that these roads are Off
cially unknown to the commission in
dicates that they have no legal right
to participate in freight charges, and
It is believed that, with complete in
formation of all tracks of this sort, the
commission can assure itself more cas-
fly that the law is being followed.
This inventory is being made very
largely with the help of the railroads

mission, large roads are sending In

Md Industrial tracks with which il
connects east of Pittsburg. Not a few
old railroads are without a satisfac-

willingly gathering the data, for they
want the information.
With regard to some private tracks
peculiar question of ownership has
arisen because it is repudiated by rail-
roads as well as shippers and the rail-
roads are actuated, it is asserted, by
a desire to escape responsibility for
accidents.

of suggestion made by Mr.. Sanford
