RECEIVE PERIsHADLE SHIPMENTS

Omaha Roads Express Confidence in
Ability to Handle Traffic.
Following reports from st. Paul that the
backbone OF the switchmen's strike has
been broken. railroads having terminals in
Omaha have announced that freight of all
kinds will be received for shipment to the
north and northwest. During the last four
days local offices have refused positively
to receive perishable goods of any kind.
we are prepared to handle all kinds Of
freight" said Lyman sholes. division
freight and passenger agent for the Chi
cago st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail-
road. Last night we sent a special train
Of fresh meats from South Omaha to north
ern points, including St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth and we anticipate no trouble
in delivery"
Trains running into the Union and Bur
lington stations during the day were gem
orally on time. No trouble was experienced
by the Burlington route at Billings Mont,
where most OF the switchmen left their
work The delays in trains during the day
were caused mostly by the storm In the
northwest.
Union Pacific train No. 6, the Portland
train, due at e:45 a. m, did not arrive un-
I'll O'Clock in the afternoon. This train
alone felt the effects Of the strike in the
northwest and was also delayed enroute
by the storm.
Omaha officials have been advised OF the
demands OF the Brotherhood OF Railway
Trainmen on the lines east Of Chicago,
asking for raise Of 10 per cent in wages
They request an answer from railroad
managers by December IL. The hurried
trip east Of Judge Lovett, president Of
the Hartman system, who was scheduled
to reach Omaha during the day, may have
a bearing on this case.

y. a. Reeves, WHO Has Returned from
Prolonged Eastern Business Trip,
Says Consideration Due III Fall.

John A. Reeves, general freight agent
of the oregon Short Line, returned yes
terday from an extended trip east.
While absent Mr.. Reeves WAS engaged
With other freight traffic men of the
country in figuring out schedule Of
freight rates for western points in ac-t
eordance with the ruling of the inter
stale commerce commission in the Spo-5
kane case, In which rates on coniniodi-.
ties between the Missouri river and
Spokane and other intern1ountain
points We're ordered reduced 16 "a per
|3cent from the old rates. And while i
took months of labor to complete the.
schedules on the revised basis, and was
practically ready to be placed In effect
another condition arose which post
5poned for several months the placing
in effect of the now schedules, based
on the ruling OF the commission.
Protests long and loud" said MIR.
Reeves, came in from I,acific9sco coast.
points, stating that the effect of en-
forcing the ruling of the commission
would be to destroy the business of
the coast cities, and in order to take up
all the complaints In regard to the.
matter and deal with all parties inter-.
Sested fairly, the commission ordered
that 4 postponemento of the whole mat
ter should be made until next fall.
10 CONSIDER UTAH PETITION. +
THE amended complaint of the Salt
Lake Commercial club traffic bureau
Understand, has been filed with the
commission, and this will be considered
at the same time the other matters are
taken hip in the fall.
There Is no doubt that a reduction
OF rates will SO into effect, but what
that reduction will be I cannot state.
What might be considered an equitable
reduction In one locality might be en-.
tirely unaccepta Bile to another commun-3
ity, and so 1t Is an extremely delicate
situation and will require Il great deal
of discretion to rnete out Justice to all
Interests.
II have been busy most ell the time.
during my absences said Mr., Reeves,
and while l do not think that all our
labor is lost. vet the benefits accrli-3
ing will be held UP by the latest order
of the commission postponing the mai,
ter until fall"
Mr.. Reeves said that he enjoyed him
self while east, but expressed pleasure
at being back in Salt Lake again.
