TRADE ON RIVER
Saving in Rates to Be Made
Between Omaha and Gulf
Points by Use of Rail-
Water Route.

Washington. MAY 29.-(Special
Telegram).-F. A. Brogan, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce,
urged upon Representative Jeiferis
recently the Importance of obtaining
an allotment of merchant ships from
the Shipping board for the port of
New Orleans. While the ships are
not expected to ply between gulf
ports and Omaha, it is hoped that
by using the rail route to ST. Louis
and the water route to New Orleans,
a great savings will be made in
freight rates between Missouri river
and gull terminals.
Representative Jeiieris, who has
been an active member of the Cham
Der OF Commerce for a number of
years, realizing what might be &C
complished through such all allot-
ment of ships as suggested by Mr..
Brogan, Immediately took up the
matter with Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board and the chief OF op-
eratIons.
MI lNllCli 10 ltudy lCNCiNCu d lCplS
to- his request for an allotment of
merchant ships for the port of New
Orleans to operate on the Missis-
sippi, Chairman Hurley, among
other things, saying:
Il am pleased to advise you of
my sympathetic interest in your re-
quest and to acquaint you with the
fact that the shipping board has al
ready allotted to New Orleans three
ships, the first to be assigned in
July, the Second in August and the
third in September. In addition, two
more ships will be placed in this
trade during October and Novem-
Der
you may rest assured we will do
everything in our power to be OF
help to the posts of the south and
shall assign to them the number OF
ships requested to move their prod
ucts just as soon as such ships be-
come available"
