regional traffic coi'mictce at St. I.ouis
Tjje Oklahoma committee spent last
Tuesday in discussing the rates with
the regional traffic enmmittee in Chi
cairo. No action was taken and the
Oklahomans wtrre referred to the south
western aub-committee.
Claat Rate Appeal Denied.
On Vedne'.!iv a iuint session was
lield at St. Louis. Class rates were
taken tip hut ti.e Olclalmmaris were in
formed the committee had derided to
pply on Otdalarmia the sama rate basis
used in Tejcaa for short hauls. In
Texas, claimed the Oklahnmans. there
is a considerate offset for long haul
while Oklahoma, has no such long haul
offset.
An appeal hy the OVIahomans to he
granted the average of the rates effec
tive in Arkansas. Missouri, Kansas
and Texas was dVnied.
A report prepared hy Mr. Johnston
thua summarired srsme of the decisions
en rates arrived at in the St. Louis
conference :
Coal Up Forty Percent.
"On coal our rare ws'11 he based upon
the former rates of the corporation
eommission, first adding 15 rents per
ton, as per the recent compromise with
the railroads, and then adding the fol
lowini figures, a per Dector Gen
eral MeAdoo'a order, vlr :
"Where the rate is to 4
cents per ton, IS cents per ion
"Where the rate is SO nrnts to 5
. tents per ton, 20 cents per tnai.
"Where the rate is $1 00 to JI.W
per ton, 30 cents per ton.
"Where the rate is $2.00 to $2.99 per
ton, 40 cents per ton.
"Where the rate is $100 or over, 50
cents per ton "
"The old Oklahoma City rate from the
McAlester district wit $1.20 per ton;
thil wilt add 15 cents plus .it) cents,
plus the war tax of S cents,
making the new rate $1.70 per ton, or
an increase of approximately forty per
cent. "Stone for building purposes In
crease 2 cents per 100 pauinds; stone
for concrete, 1 cent per 100 pounds;
land and gravel 1 rent rer 100 pounds
brftk 2 cents 'per 1(W 'tUnn: cement I
eenti per 100 pounds: lime l'.J cents per
100 pounds : lumber 25 percent, hut not
exceeding 5 cents per 100 pounds.
Wheat Bate lac r easel
The Kansas-Oklahoma wheat rates
inoreased by 25 percent, with a maxi
mum of 25 cents for aingle 'line hauls
and 27yi cents for two single line hauls,
will apply in the state of Oklahoma on
all (rain and grain products. The two
line differential is 24 cents per 1M
for three or more line hauls."
On hay the committee could secure
nothing better than the rates published
in 55-D with the addition of the in
crease ordered by the director general.
"No concessions were secured In the
rates on either cotton or cotton lintrrj.
"Oa livestock, carloads, the carriers
i greed, to base their new rates on the
figure promulgated by the interstate
rommrro' commission m its order in
rase No. 1716, to which will be adilml
25 percent, but not exceeding 7 cents
per 100 pounds.
Trartirally the sstne agreement was
reached in regard ti the rale on pails
ing house products as on livestock.
Soger Rate Protests.
"On cotton seed and cottonseed prod
uct a tbe 25 percent increase will apply
to the rates named in tariff No. 55-1),
which are practically the same as apply
in the state of Texas.
"A vigorous protest was made in
regard to the proposed sonar adjust
ment, but while no definite conclusion
was announced by the carriers it was
thtiuKht likely that the maximum ad
vance proposed will in t effect sub
ject to an additional readjustment of
rates in Arkansas,
"On junk the carriers will make class
D, minimum weight 40.0H0 pounds;
and on snap iron class 1'., minimum
weijrht 50000 pounds.
"The committee was also unable to
grt a final expression of opinion in re
gard to petroleum and its products up
to yesterdav noon "
