cussion, that several of the protests
were made because of inferanee that
ii would deprive the shippers of Du-
range Of present commodity rates on
lumber, potatoes and other items
favored by commodity rate.
Mr.. Jenkins explained that the
commodity rate was not up for con-
sideration, and that the Pueblo Com
merce club had asked that differ
ential be created between Denver and
Pueblo to Durango, granting to Pueb-
10 the same rate per ton per mile that
is now enjoyed by Denver. That
they had not, in their petition, ask
ed that the class rate on outgoing
freight from Durango be made the
same as the incoming rate, because:
First. That naturally Pueblo would
not be as well acquainted or as much
concerned in the outgoing rate. That
they felt that the greatest blessing
would accrue to the Durango people
from the lower rate into Durango,
by reason of the fact that more class
rate goods were shipped into Durango
than are shipped out of Durango, but
that the petition in Intervention from
Durango had asked that the outgo-
ing rate be made the same.
He stated, however, that in view
of the fact that Durango did not sup
pert its intervention with evidence
before the special commissioner, that
that phase could be eliminated at
his time, if it was the desire of the
Durango people to cooperate on the
incoming freight only.
A lengthy discussion followed in
which every shipper took part. Sew
eral of the shippers stated emphati-
cally that they had signed the let
ters under misinformation and were
willing to withdraw their protests.
They said they We're led to under
stand that if the petition was grant
ed that naturally the commodity rates
on potatoes, grain, etc, would be
withdrawn and higher rates charged,
one or two shippers adding that af-
ter the hearing they were told the
outgoing rates would not be affect
ed.
During the discussion it was hint
ed by most of the speakers that the
fight was really between Pueb-
10 and Denver and that being the
case Durango should let The two cit
les settle the matter Mr.. jenkins
said he could not see how any one
should take this view of the matter,
although ostensibly Pueblo was
fighting for trade territory and if
the petition was granted it might eff
feet Denver wholesalers. 1t was then
charged that if Pueblo obtained a
lower rate the difference would be
observed by the Pueblo wholesalers,
or within small margin, sufficient
to shut Denver out. To this Mr.. Jen-
kins replied by reading letters sign
ed by the jobbers that they would
give the trade of this section the ben
eft of reduced rates. Mr.. jenkins
then presented tabulated statement
showing the freight rates from Den
yer and Pueblo wherein the rate was
the same with the exception on first
class and few cents in classes A, b,
c, d and f along with the proposed
rates from Pueblo to Durango, fig
ured on basis of the present rates
from Denver to Durango (per ton per
mile basis) as follows:

LOWER FREIGHT FOR
THE SAN JUAN BASIN

For years the cry of Durango has
been for lower freight rates and when
Pueblo filed her suit with the inter-
state commerce commission for low
er rates from Pueblo to Durango the
Durango Board of Trade intervened
in behalf of Pueblo's contention
that is the railroad committee of
which Frank Eldredge is chairman,
the president and secretary signing
the intervention papers, believing it
was for the best interests of Durango
and this entire southwest section.
The hearing took place at Pueblo on
the 23rd but owing to a misunder-
standing of dates the Durango Board
of Trade was not represented except
by telegram, whereas General Agent
p. b. McAtee was there and being
placed ON the stand, produced ten or
twelve letters from Durango ship
pers protesting against the action of
the Board of Trade. All the letters
were couched very courteously with
exception of one from party not
member of the organization. This
came as surprise to the Pueblo peo-
pie and, in the phrase of the day.
knocked them off their pins. The
Pueblo Commerce club, however, put
in its evidence and secured post
ponement until November 12 in order
to give the Pueblo people time TO as
certain the real desires of the Du.
rango shippers. To this end j. H.
Jenkins, general secretary of the
Commerce club, arrived in Durango
Friday evening. A meeting of the
directors was called for Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock but owing to
Saturday being the first of the month
there were only five present
Messrs. Eldredge, Wingate, Pickerill
Clifford and Raymond, together with
five of the protesting shippers and
three who had not signed the others
being unable to attend
Mr.. Jenkins was present, and
stated:
That, at the hearing before Spec
ial Commissioner Flynn of the In
terstate commerce commission, at
Pueblo, few days ago, the suit of
the Pueblo Commerce club against
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad
company, for lower freight rate in
to the Durango country, had become
considerably complicated by reason of
the Durango Board of Trade having
become mixed in it's dates, as indi-
Gated by kilograms filed with the
commission, and further, by the fact
that number of the prominent ship
pers at Durango had filed protests
through the Denver and Rio Grande
agent, Mr.. p. b. McAtee, in which
they claimed that they did not want
the prayer of the Pueblo Commerce
club granted"
Mr.. Jenkins read the copies of the
letters as written from Durango.
He stated that his mission to Du-
range at this time was to ascertain
the true attitude of the Durango peo-
Pile, as represented by the Board of
Trade, in the matter of this suit, and
especially what disposition they wish
ed to make of the Intervention that
had been filed with the interstate
commerce commission.
