Those Freight Rates.
Wnen You come to pay for this
wagon through the sale OF corn in
tne Chicago market, you have a
sun greater disadvantage. due to
the TACT that corn has declined
since 1914 The freight on corn
from Culbertson to Chicago in 1914
was z4h cents a hundred. or an
proximately IA cents a busheI; to-
Day, with the 3 per cent war tax
included, it is AZ cents a hundred.
or approximately 26 cents a BUSH
ell, so that you pay IL cents a bush
ell more to get your corn to Chi
cago than you did in 1914.
You state that it requires $50
bushels of corn to buy wagon to-
day. AT IL cents a bushel increas-
ed freight, this means that you are
paying the railroads SIS more
transportation ON the corn neces-
sary to buy this wagon, therefore
your increased contribution in GET
ting this wagon out there and shin
ping corn enough to Chicago to pay
for it, is $894O.
! You can well see from this
| that 1t is absolutely impossible for
any OF US to get back to a normal
basis of prices until the cost of
i transportation is very materially
reduced. You ask us when condi-
tons will change; we tell YOU.
when transportation costs are back
uponsa reasonable basis The great
diff Guilty in getting this adjustment
now IS the expense the railroads
are put to for. labor, for example,
here in this community, while the
! going rate OF labor is 80 cents an
| hour, at the Rock Island shops 43
cents per hour is being paid for
eight hours a day and time-and-a-
half for overtime, with the proviso
| that if more than one hours over
time is worked, even though it be
10 minutes, five hours additional
compensation is charged. Locomo-
tive engineers are getting from So

and expect to continue to do so in

of increased freight charges, as fol-
