manufacturing Lincoln and Omaha to-
gether in q common freight cause to
continue existing rates on yellow pine
lumber from southern points to the cities
mentioned was a strong pleac which e.
1 J. McVann, traffic manager Of the Omaha
Commercial club made today before the
Interstate Commerce commission.
The rate on yellow pine Is % cents from
southern territory TO the cities mentioned.
This rate was fixed in 1910 By the Inter
state Commerce commission to continue
two years.
Just as soon as the two years were up
the railroads raised the rates and the
commission after due consideration sus-
pended the rates Thus conditions ran
along until early this year, when the COM
mission decided that the 2-cent rate
should become permanent. The rail-
roads objected and so strong were their
protests that the commission decided
finally to hear the whole subject, with
a determination to settle the controversy
once for all
nj addition to Mr. McVann there were
present at the hearing Fred Lehman.
jr., OF eds Moines. who was accom-
panied by r. q. Willie and A. @. r.
Moore of New Orleans representing the
southern pine shippers. The railroads
were represented by A. q. Herbel Of the
Missouri Pacific and w. r. Dickinson Of
the oRck Island
The gist OF the argument made today
by Mr.. McVann was that It would cost
the lumber dealers OF Omaha and lincoln
fb5OOO year II the rates were advanced,
but II the commission denied the advance
according to the railroad attorneys It
would force reduction of rates at a
number of intermediate points.
In view Of the fact that this is the
fifth time these yellow pine cases have
been argued or adjudlcated. Mr.. Nc
Vann hopes todays presentation lie the
