RETAILERS KICK
ON RAISED RATES
Forward Objections to Advances on
Furniture Shipments to Inter
state Commerce Commission.
ASK SUSPENSION OF THE RATE

II the railroads are allowed to
raise their rates, as they propose to
dc on furniture shipped from the
east to Omaha. 1t will meaQ an In
crease Of some $4,000 annually to
be paid by the furniture men of
Omaha for the transportation Of
their stocks OF goods. The local fur
niture men are protesting to the In
terstate Commerce commission
against the proposed increase. The
new tariff OF the roads is to go into
effect April unless the dealers are
able to obtain suspension of the
tariff by order OF the Interstate Com.
merce commission.
Tho protest Is being made through the
Associated Retailers OF Omaha. seore-
tery J. w Metcalfe has written a letter
OF protest TO Secretary q. e. McGnty OF
tho Interstate Commerce commission.
The new schedule proposes 10 Increase
the freight from % cents per 100 pounds
to Is cents per 100 pounds on furniture
originating at Chicago or west Of Chi
cago. II proposes TO increase Il from tho
present 22i. cents fer 1O0-weight 10 81
cents from the Mississippi river on traf-
fic originating east Of Chicago.
Another Complication.
Local furniture men say that from 900
TO 400 carloads OF furniture come 10
omaha from these points on the course OF
year. Other provisions in the proposed
new schedule stiil further complioate the
matter. and make the rate, as II will
actually apply. much moro detrimental
TO Omaha dealers than the face OF the
schedule would indicate. Today they are
using fifty-foot cars with minimum OF
5000 pounds which cars take a So car
load charge. Under the new ruling II is
proposed To furnish thirty-six foot cars
with minimum Of l9ooo pounds, which
are to take a carload charge of $50 Fur
niture men say that although these cars
are marked i2,Oo0 pounds minimum, as a
matter OF fact IN most grades OF furniture
! Il Is Impossible 10 load more than 10 OOg
pounds In them Thus 10000 pounds al q
20 minimum charge would he actually al
the rate OF "a cents per iOo-weight instead
OF the g cents or % cents in the respec.
tive schedules proposed.
The local furniture men hope 10 get a
hearing before the interstate Commerce
commission Ia which they hope 10 Justify
an order OF suspension OF the new rate
