Regort of the Board of Trade Com tee — Railroads that Oppose the Concession—Flevators Prom« ised — Rail Notes. Members of the Board of Tiade committee that went to Chicago to ask the railroads to grant Nevraska grain shippers and dealers a freight privilege similar to the milling in tiansit rate enjoyed by Minneapolis, express tuemselves as very hopeful that the desired concessiou will ba made, “What we want,” said Secretary Nason of the Board of Trade, yesterday, *1s the privilege of stopping shipments of grain at Omaha to bo weighed, inspected, stored, and cleaned before being ro-shippad, and we want the sum of the twn freight charges (from the initial point to Omahu and from Omaba to eastern murkets) not to exceed the through rate from starting point to eastern destina- tion. “At first some stress was laid upon the ov- jection that such a priviiege might be a vio- ion of tho interstate commerce law, but not tenable. The arrangement we srks no discrimination aganst any and does mov lower the freight receipts of the railroads. Iv is merely an accommodation to Neoraska grain men, Minueapolis and Kan- sas City already enjoy privileges similar to that which we demaud, and the argument of illegality is not likely to cut much of a figure in the matter, “I'he most serious objections came from Vice President Newman of the Northwestern railrond and General Freight Agent Miller of the Burlington. Tley held that the pro- posed arrangement would entail considerable additional exvense upon their lines without compensating returns. Oue road crosses the Missouri near Blair and the other at Platts- mouth, and _their through shipments do not now go through this city. These gentlemen also thiok theiv side track facilities in Omaba are not - ado- quate to the traflic which would come to this city by diverting tho east-bound grain from its present channels, and_ they therefore are not prepared to handle the prospective busi- uness. ‘Ihey also urged the fact that the elevators on the Northwestern and the Bur- lington are insufficient for effectiug the transfer of expected grain. “Conceding that the railroads would be put to some additional expense, the com- mittes maintained that the transportation companics could well afford it, even looking at it from a purely business point of view. They have enormous interests in Nebraska and have a selfish interest in builuizg up the state. Aunything that will stimulate the growth and prosperity of Nobraska will help the rauroads, and it is only right that they should do their share towards the comwmon good. The most important legislation enucted by the last legislature was the warehouso and inspection law, und the men who are asking the railrouds to make it effective represent the very element which stood between those corporations and hostils legislation last win- ter. “Now as to clevators. There will beno lack of storage facilitios if the railroads will only give us the privilege we ask. We would necd fifteen more clevators, and if we get the flat through rato we want capitalists will come running to build warehouses in Omaha. Why, the Fowler Elevator company stands voady to Degin on one just as soon as we get news of the grauting of the milling in transit rate. ‘I'ne commitiee was assured by the railroad managers in Chicago that the desired privi- lege will be granted if the objoctions can be disposed of. President Cable of tho Rock- Island and Vice President Harris of the Burlington were absent from the city, and as soon as they return, which will b6 in a few days, the representatives of the roads will meet to cousider the problem among themselyes. If they can arrange the details satisfactorily the desirea arrangement will go into effect. If they fail to doso at that conference, they are under promise to como to Omaha and have another meetiug with our Board of Trade committee, We are en- couraged to balieve that the railroads will meet this matter in a spivit of fairness, They ought to do something for Omaha, and the opvortunity is now at hand.” Dr. Hursha on Charity.
