MIXED CAR RATES EXCESSIVE
South Omaha Live Stock Exchange
Complains to Commission.
REQUEST MADE FOR REDUCTION
DISADVANTAGE Under which shipper
Labors Said to React Against
south Omaha ms Live
stock Market.
(From a staff Correspondent

q LINCOLN Neb., Aug. 16.-(Special Tele-
gram 1.-The South Omaha Live Stock ex-
change has complained to the railway
commission against all of the railroads
entering that city that the prexent mixed
carload stock rates are excessive.
The complaint, which is made through
the secretary A. F. Stryker, alleges that
the rates charged by all of the roads,
with one exception, in mixed stock ship
ments return revenue according to the
rates on cattle, the highest carload stock
rates existing at the present time.
The live stock exchange in it's complaint
prays for relief in the following:
That where cattle and hogs are shipped
together the hog rate and minimum
weight apply.
Where cattle and sheep are loaded to-
gether the sheep rate and minimum weight
to apply.
Where cattle hogs and sheep are shipped
in mixed carloads, the sheep rate and the
minimum rate apply.
Where cattle, hogs or sheep are loaded
In mixed shipments with horses, horse
rates and minimum weights to apply.
Where hogs and sheep are shipped in
single deck cars, sheep rate and minimum
rate to apply.
Hogs and sheep in double deck carloads,
whether mixed or full deck of either,
sheep rate and minimum weight to apply.
The dates for the hearing will be set
by the commission later on. The complaint
sets out that the disadvantage under
which the shipper must labor, reacts to
the extreme detriment of South Omaha
a stock market and seriously impairs
many of the advantages of that city as
Nebraska stock market for Nebraska
stockmen.
