A New President For the Y. ~Gas Rates at Last Ty Riflemen Anxious Chalienge Omaha. M.C.A nhle— to Soft Coal fts The investigation in ard to conl rates came to a close at the board of trade rooms yesterday noon. What the d ion of the railway commissioners will be cannot be told, and no time is set for rendering I'here seems to be a general feeling that the complaint of discrimination rinst Council Bluffs 4s not very well established by this in- vestigation. While it is stated that Omaba is getting rates, yet these statements seem to be informal or inferential, and the clear proof which expeeted has not been forthcoming. The real mission of the investigation was not, however, to de- termine this question, but rather whether the rates for Council Bluffs W unerasonable or not. The evidence brought to light figures which indicate that the coal dealers here have been making u rather large profit on their soft coal, and that if the prices are 100 high for consumers they should look to the dealers for redress, rather than to the railways One of the dealers, who was 1 ve the following facts con- ning soft coal, and the figures & as strong as the dealer’s side can G has been selling here ton. It now sells at the mines $1.75, and the is *I G0, This makes the total 4 ton. By selling for profitis left of $1.65, or 50 per profit. The dealer claims, however, that to the cost should be added 50 cents a ton for delivery, and 25 cents a ton for shortage. This cats the profit down to 90 cents o ton, which is deemed little enough, it being only a little over 20 per cent. The other side of the figuring as done by a business man who has been listen- 1z to the evidence, and boiling it down, s that he has been paying $5.50 a ton for conl which cost at the mine $1.44, and freight $1.50, making the total cost heve $2.74. By his figures it leaves the dealer 100 per cent for his profit. The following are the salient points in the testimony taken yesterday, with the exception of the evidence in regard to the history of the case, how itstarted, a nl«l what action the board of trade had taken: Thomas Officer gets most of his conl from Clevelund. Paid S per ton for freight from Cleveland, until the middle of November, over thelRock [s- land road.

Couldn’t zive any idea of a reasonable rate. W. M. Sage, general traflic ma of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway company, sworn, testificd: We gave the same rate to Council lllun's from mines on the Des Moines Valley division of our road that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy did to their mines of a less distunce, we did this in order to help our mines out, we felt it our duty to take care of them. The rate of %1.50 on all classes of ¢ was made be- fore 1t was known that steam coal could be utilized. It would accumulate around the mines and they would ask us to haul it away, which we did, and used it in bullasting and fixing up nic felt that our miners must have the same rate to Council Bluffs that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy gave their miners, but the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney did not like that, as they thonght that the nearest miners ~nuuld have the advantage. If the Y Council Bluffs gets 00 profit, it is hardly nec y to fight on the cents differe 1. Our mines could not live if the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy had the entire supnlying of coal. It would mnot be to the interest of the .rond to allow our mines to go down. So we knew that if we lost by the war, it would be to the interest of the coal deal- and coul miners, September 1, when the war commenced, our were on lump #1.35, 756 cents on nut and slack. On the 7th I found that Mr. Ripley, traffic manager of the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quiney, had made the rate on his road on lump $1.10, on nut and slack 50 cents, which showed his determination to keep 25 cents be- low us. 1'hen we made the rate tomeet that, and he lowered the rate to lump ents, and nut_and slack 25 cents, which we met. On the 23d of October Mr. Ripley said: **There is no use in us fighting on the lump coal rate.” So the rate was made 81.58 to Council Bluffs and $1.60 to Omaha. Our rates on Octo- ber 1887, were, on lump 81,58, on nut and slack 25 cents, I told Mr, Ripley to go below that, as he was determined to carry 256 cents below our rate, to carry for nothing. He said you ought to give us a little difference; thut 25 cents was too much, and wanted to put up the rates on & reasonable busis. Very well, I said, you make the rate and L will make it the same, and submit the case to arbitration. On the 19th of March the rates were made $1.58 on lump and $1 on nut and slack. For u while the rate was raised to $1.25, from May 4 to May 10, when we fell back on the Glenwood taviff. We came to a conclusion. Mr, Ripley made the rate from the Whitebreast mines $1.10, and we made $1.16 from Leighton. The taniff of Octocer. 10 was really is- sued October 1, though we had pre- viously agreed to give ten days’ notice, 80 it took effect on the 10th. On Octo: ber 9th our rates to Council Bluffs were $1.91, being the Glenwood rates, and the rates to Omaha were $1.60 and $1.25. ‘We made the rate on October 10 for 200 miles 81,64 and $1.16, and the rates to Omaha were made the same, The Chi- cago & Northwestern have very few positively better not on ht ager | own road they have had to go down | Os For coal for their to iloosa.
