TO AGREE ON UNIVERSAL RATE
dgrom a STAFF Corresponaent1

(From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Feb. 4.-tSpecial)-App
growers, apple sellers and retail mer-
chants had an inning before the State
Railway commission today in an attempt
to agree on some system or charge to
be made for freight cars used BY apple
shippers in the distribution of fruit.
IL is the old trouble OF charges for
cars used for peddling, and this hearing
is simply a continuation of other hear
ings.
Byron Clark. solicitor for the Burling-
ton, was the only representative OF the
railroads present. He was asked to
speak first, but thought that the shippers
ought to make some figures which they
believed to be reasonable for the use OF
the cars. He said the Burlington was
willing to make test of the matter for
year on any reasonable demurraEe
charge and sec how 1t would work out.
lie said the trouble was in fixing the
charges for the different classes Of
goods.
Car shortage Plays Part.
Coal dealers and like shippers thought
they should be exempt from the charge.
Car shortage was spoken OF by Mrl
Clark. who said that a very recent check
ing showed the Burlington had about
$500 cars out of service by reason OF
being held, and this made the question
a very live one for his company. He
insisted the shippers ana retailers should
make some rate which they though
would be right, and the Burlington would
endeavor to come to fair considera tion
OF the rate
One man asked Mr.. Clark if the Bur-
llngton cars were not being used to haul
munitions of warfare, but was told that
they were not, as there were no NUM-
tions factories on the Burlington, and
no cars were being used that he knew
of for that purpose
Instance From IoVvt.
Chairman Clare of the commission
said that the Interstate commission had
refused to suspend the order of the Iowa
commission, wnich practically covered
the same point as that in controversy.
They had a charge of 81 per day for the
first two days and 81 for each day there
after.
Fred Diers of Madison. representing
the retail merchants association, did not
see why such a practice as furnishing

X. of C. OMIT ASSESSMENT.

Father Daley Council, Knights of
Columbus, has received from State
Deputy Charles F, Mann OF Brattle-
boro the following notice;
Owing to Furnishing conditions of
the order, the board of directors, under
advice of our actuary, has voted to
omit the July assessment. In all proba-
bility, from present indications, the
December assessment also will be re-
mitted "
This is something unusual in the his
tory of fraterna life insurance and is
in marked contrast with notifications
of double assments which occasionally
come to members of some of the frater-
nal insurance organizations.
For several years the Knights of
Columbus Insurance department has re-
mitted the December assessment, so
that members have been called upon to
pay only II assessments year, and
now comes still further reduction in
the cost for this year.
The Knights Of Columbus fraterna
insurance organization is recognized as
one of the strongest in the country, hav-
ng about 10000 members and over
SllS, OOO coo of lifeinsurance in force.
