LUMBER RATES INTO
OMAHA MUST STAND
Interstate Commerce Commission
Decides Squabble with Roads
in Favor of Omaha.
RATE SUSPENDED TWO YEARS

For at least two years more the %
cent freight rates on yellow pine
lumber from the southern region to
Omaha and its territory must stand,
instead OF 26ia cents per hundred
weight. as the roads attempted to
raise Il.
The order has just been issued by
the Interstate Commerce commission.
This according to figures complied by
the traffic bureau Of the Commercial
club, which handled the case, will mean
an annual saving Of about $4,000 in
freight rates for Omaha, South omaha
and Council Bluffs. The lumber coming
from this southern yellow pine territory
to Omaha, Council Bluffs and South
Omaha annually is in round numbers
5000 carloads. The difference between
the 25-cent rate per hundred weight in
effect and the 26lf-cent rate the roads
endeavored TO establish is an average OF
s. per car.
| This means that in five years since the
rate was reduced to IS cents by the In
terstate Commerce commission through
/ the efforts of the Omaha traffic bureau
and others, the lumber men have saved
$4,000
I The commission concludes its discussion
Of the case with the following:
Rates Not Justified,
| "Our conclusion as to these proposed
increased rates is that they have not
been justified, and our order will require
the cancellation of the tariffs under sus-
pension, and maintenance of the present
rates for the statutory period"
The order provides that the roads must
cancel on or before April II. 1915, the
rates, changes, practices and regulations
stated in the schedules specified in the
orders of suspension. 1t further states that
the present rates must continue in force
not less than two years.
Raised in 1912.
In 1910 the rate was forced down to q
cents. On August 1, 1872 the railroads
sought to raise this to 26h cents from
