This is because the old yellow pine rate case, which the Interstate Com- merce commission settled “once for all,” March 2, 1915, is again to be reopened for a hearing before the commission. It is the old fight as to whether 25 cents is an adequate freight rate on yellow pine from Helena, Ark., and other yellow pine sections to Omaha and Des Moines, or whether the 26% cents decided upon five years ago by the railroads shall be per- mitted Once the railroads charged 26 cents for a year or two and then the commis- sion declared 25 cents an adequate rate. At the same time the commission ordered the rallway companies to pay back to the shippers the 1% cents per 100 they had been charging. eld. Then the rallway companies sought again to establish the 26%-cent rate. Re- peatedly suspension orders were obtained from the commission by the representa- tives of the lumber companies of Omaha, Des Moines and the southern producer At last the commission, March 2, 1915, en- tenerd the order for the 2-cent rate, and the lumbermen thought all was settled. The rallroads asked for a reopening of case. This was denled, but on some other technicality the rallroads asked for a re- opening of the case and got it. The order to have the case reopened has just reached Omaha. The Z%-cent order is to remain in effect, however, pending the re- hearing, UTILITY CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR ROYALTIES Royaltles have been pald the city for April, May and June as follows: Omaha Electric Light and Power com- pany, $6.854.14; Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rallway company, $14,745.14; Omaha Gas company, 3,140.21. 1 JOHN A.
