TRAFFIC BUREAUS
DISCUSSING. FREIGHT.
Meeting Today One of Series for Col
lccting Data Upon Which
To Proceed.

To further consider the work before
it. and to bring together the data at
present available concerning railroad
rates, and Utah freight charges, the
Commercial clubs freight bureau is
/ holt,ing II meeting this afternoon. The
meeting is eiof Il series out of which
it is hoped will grow a definite manner
of handling the freight situation and
of developing an understanding with
the railroads that will be mutually sat
5isfactory.
"The way that Salt Lake merchants
suffer from present conditions" said
reau this afternoon, "can be we'll shown
in the case of a car of quilting material
that recently arrived here. twill also
serve as a sample of the matters We arc
considering this afternoon
In this car of quilting material there
were 1920 pounds of cotton. The
freight charges to Salt Lake were
$40 7 looked up the rates and found
that if the car had ben shipped through
Salt Lake to San Francisco it would
have cost the shipper only siSi. The
same rate would hold true to Denver,
f Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland or any
where among our competing cities.
with the same shipment We're 600
pounds of cotton drills suitable for
quilting. The freight on this to Salt
Lake was SI59.3O. To any of our neigh
boring cities-ours big .colnpetitors-ttIe
freight would have been s60.1o. From
this fact you can see how far Salt Lake
manufacturers can develop a trade ter
ritory against Missouri river points,
Nov this, new crusade for equal
opportunities with the carrying com
panies has hurt us in its effect, be-.
cause it is an open secret that we
all had so per cent rebates and some
times 60 per cent rebates, up to three
years ago. With the companies hust-
ling for business at those rebates. 1t is
hardly in point to say now that fair
mates would compel operation at a
loss
The exact nature OF the traffic, bu-.
rsau's plan of campaign for the future
is not yet ready y be given out. AS
developed at today S & meeting and at
future meetings, it will be prepared for
the public.

thought that was necessary. But when

Ethel is but IS, but her father was

help Charities part of the matter.
Charlie then discovered tnat if he

bit of paper which would make him
happy for life. But who was to be
the guardian? Then the girls father
came TO the rescue. He would be the
guardian who better could be so? SO
the two went to Judge Brents and
there the boy got his fatherinlaw to
be appointed guardian
Then they went back to the auditor $
