Interstate Commerce Commission, Division of Rates and Transportation, Washington, January 31, 1903. To the Honorable Memhers of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Sirs: I have the honor to submit herewith a report upon the Changes in Railway Transpor- tation Rates on Freight Traffic throughout the United States from 1862 to 1902, being Part II of a general report entitled "Railways in the United States in 1902." The changes in freight rates shown herein prior to the year 1887 were taken from a report prepared by Mr. C. C. McCain, former Auditor of the Commission, for the Finance Committee of the Senate, Fifty-second Con- gress, and embodied in a report of that committee (Senate Report No. 1394), entitled "Whole- sale Prices, Wages, and Transportation." The data here presented are shown in 171 tables, accompanied by explanatory text and arranged under three general headings, viz: 1. Development of Freight Classifications. 2. Changes in Competitive Rates. 3. Changes in Local Rates. It should be stated that only in one or two instances was it found possible to obtain a record of the rates as far back as the first year mentioned (1862). Each table shows the changes from the earliest date from which it was practicable to obtain a complete record of freight charges. Respectfully submitted. J. M. Smith, Auditor. n STATISTICS OF RAILWAYS IN THE UNITED STATES. INTBODUCTOK.Y NOTE. This report on changes in transportation rates on freight throughout the United States does not pretend to originality either in form or in the data which it presents. It is rather a revised second edition of the report prepared for the Senate Committee on Finance and presented by that committee in 1893 as a part of its report on " Wholesale Prices, Wages, and Transportation." The extension of the tables from 1893 to 1902 is compiled from the tariffs which the railways have filed with the Commission in conformity with Section 6 of the Act to regulate commerce. The order in which topics are presented, as well as the routes and commodities selected for a statement of rates and, indeed, the text explanatory of the tables found in the body of this report are preserved, so far as consistent with changed conditions siiice 1893. The facts presented in the following pages group themselves under three general headings, as follows: 1. Development of freight classifications. 2. Changes in competitive rates. 3. Changes in local rates. In the original report there was a fourth general division of the subject, namely, "Miscel- laneous data relating to mileage rates and tonnage movements." But as this report forms Part II of a general compilation designed to portray the conditions under which railways operated in 1902, and as Part I of this compilation gives in detail the statistics of railway operations, it seems appropriate to omit all mention of mileage rates and tonnage movements from the present report, THE DEVELOPMENT OF FREIGHT CLASSIFICATIONS. The freight traffic of the railways of the United States is carried under two general classes of schedules, commonly known as "Class Tariffs "and "Commoditj'. Tariffs." The latter has reference to schedules applicable to such articles as grain, lumber, coal, live stock, dressed beef, fertilizers, oil, etc., transported between sections of the country where these articles have attained a commercial and shipping importance which has made necessary specific rules for their transportation differing from those covering classified traffic, as well as a somewhat lower scale of rates than is applied to the latter. ' Class tariffs are arranged to show the rates of the respective classes contained in the freight classifications. In the latter are found the great majority of articles carried by the railways, classified in accordance with the various elements that properly enter into the determination of freight charges; under these also are found the commodities above mentioned, and although exceptionally treated in certain sections as to rates, they are all amenable to some rule of the classification. The rate-making foundation for all commodities is seen to lie largely in the freight classification. 13 14 RAILWAYS IK THE UNITED STATES IN 1902. The development of the railroad business of the country has been followed by the enlarge- ment and extension of freight classifications. These publications are now current guides to the shipping public and have an enormous circulation. They are arranged in an enlarged and convenient manner, wherein may be found all commodities of commerce, described in every probable form of shipment, with a rate reference for each description, together with the rules and regulations under which each will be accepted for carriage. An effort will here be made to present the extent of the changes which have taken place in the principal classifications and the advantages to the public resulting from the advancement in this branch of the railroad service. Principles underlymg Freight Olassifioations. — It was discovered early that the charges for transportation of different articles of freight could not be apportioned among such articles with regard alone to the cost of carriage. This basis of determining the charges, it was found,, would confine to narrow limits the movement of different articles whose bulk or weight was large in comparison to their value, while heavier articles with less bulk would be made to pay dispropor- tionately low rates. Under the system of apportioning the charges strictly to the cost, some kinds of commerce which have been very useful to the country and have a tendency to bring different sections into more intimate business and social relations could never have amounted to any considerable magnitude, and in soine cases could not have existed at all, for the simple reason that the value at the place of delivery would not equal the purchase price with the transporta- tion added. The traffic would thus be precluded, because the charge for carriage would be greater than it could bear. On the other hand, the rates for the carriage of articles which, with small bulk or weight, concentrated great value would, on that system of making them, be absurdly low when compared to the value of the articles, and perhaps not less so when the comparison was with the value of the service in transporting them. . Accordingly, it was found not to be unjust to distribute the entire cost of service among all articles carried on a basis that gave greater consideration to the relative value of the service than to the cost. Such a method would be most beneficial to the country; it would enlarge commerce and extend communication, and would be better for the railroads because of the increased trafSc which would be brought to them. The value of the article carried under this system would be the most important element in determining what freight charge it should bear. Other considerations, however, equally important must not be overlooked when the freight classification is to be made. The classifications as now constructed have for their foundation the following elements: The competitive element or the rates made necessary by competition. The volume of the business — that is, the tonnage movement. The direction in which the freight moves — that is, whether it moves in the direction in which most of the freight is transported or in the reverse direction in which empty cars are running. The value of the article. The bulk and weight. The degree of risk attending transportation. The facilities required for particular or special shipments. The conditions attending transportation, such as furnishing special equipment, as in the case of private dressed-beef cars or cars specially adapted for freight of a perishable nature or cars of large size for freight of extraordinary bulk. Another condition which has also received consideration is the analogy which the new articles to be classified bear to other articles found in the classification. The conditions under which railroad companies can afford to transport traffic have a large influence in determining the classification. These are the general rules under which classifications are constructed, and while to a large extent controlling, the classifications are, notwithstanding, in a great measure a series of com- promises, the participants in which are not alone the railroads, but also the shippers and representatives of business interests throughout the country, the latter being afforded ample opportunity to join with the railroads in the discussion as to the proper classification of articles of shipment affecting their interests. THE DEVELOPMENT OF FREIGHT CLASSIFICATIONS. 15 While the pressure for reductions is very strong from certain localities, concessions are not now so readily granted, as the territory covered by the freight classifications is so large that great care in the assignment of articles to particular classes must- be taken in order to avoid working an injury to any particular section. The commercial and transportation interests are regarded as identical, and the welfare of the whole territory and all interests affected must he considered. ,It is, however, occasionally observed that particular localities are, to some extent, preferentially served by the action of carriers who resist proposed changes in the classification for the reason that, in their opinion, they will operate to the prejudice of certain patrons. Thus exceptions to the classification are created by a road continuing to carry some article at one class, when, in the opinion of a majority of the roads using the classification, the articles could well stand a higher rating. ' ClassificatioTis in Force in 1902. — At present there are three general freight classifications in use throughout the United States, namely, the Official Classification, the Southern Classification, and the Western Classification. The application of these classifications is as follows: First. The Official Classification applies generally in the territory north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of Lake Michigan, Chicago, and the Mississippi Eiver to the Atlantic seaboard, except locally between points in the State of Illinois and between certain points in New England located on the Boston and Maine Eailroad. This classification also applies to local traffic between points on the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railways, and between certain points on these lines and points in what is known as eastern seaboard territory, located north of the Potomac River. Through rates from points in eastern seaboard territory to Nashville and Memphis, Tenn. , and New Orleans, La. , are also subject to this classification. Second. The Southern Classification applies generally in the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi, except locally between points in the States of North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and between points on the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railways. The through class rates from points in eastern seaboard territory to points in southerly territory are also, with a few exceptions, governed by this classification. Third. The Western Classification governs in the territory west of Lake Michigan and a line drawn from Chicago to St. Louis, and in all the territory west of the Mississippi River, except locally between points in the State of Iowa. The class rates applying between Pacific coast points and points in the territory Missouri River to Atlantic seaboard, inclusive, are also subject to this classification. It should be stated that there are many exceptions to the application of the general classifi- cations in each of the territories above described. Practically all railroads publish commodity tariffs which provide special rates on certain articles which are, as a rule, lower than the rates provided for such commodities in the regular class tariffs. As before stated, such articles as grain, grain products, dressed meats, live stock, lumber, coal, iron, oil, fertilizers, etc., are usually transported under commodity tariffs in practically all parts of the country. Nearly all roads also publish exception sheets, both local and joint, in which many articles are given a rating different from that provided in the general classification. All articles not provided with commodity rates, and which are not included in the exception sheets, when moving between interstate points, are carried under the general classification which governs the class rates in the territory where the shipments are made. The three general classifications above referred to are prepared and published by classification committees, each committee being composed of the traffic officials of the principal railway lines operating in the territory governed by the classification. These committees are as follows: The Official Classification Committee, with headquarters in New York City; the Western Classification Committee, with headquarters in Chicago, 111. ; and the Southern Classification Committee, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. All changes in and revisions of the classifications are made and promulgated by these committees. Besides the three general classifications referred to there are classifications published by the Railroad Commissions of the States of Illinois, Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida, applying locally on shipments mpving between points in those States. Between points in the 16 RAILWAYS IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1902. State of Texas the Western Classification governs in connection with an exception sheet published by the Railroad Commission of that State. There is also a classification known as the New England Freight Classification, whi©h governs the class rates between points on the Eastern, Western, and Northern divisions of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Condition of Classification in 1887.— The^ territory throughout which the Official Classifica- tion is shown to govern is the largest both in point of tonnage and communities served. At the date of the passage of the Act to regulate commerce 131 railroad companies within the territory defined above as governed by the Official Classification had each a separate classification. In addition to those classifications which had grown up mainly to foster local conditions, and were thought to be beneficial to the particular roads and shippers, there were five associations of railroad companies each having a classification. These classifications were as follows: First. The local classification of each railroad company. Second. The through west-bound classification, generally known as the "Trunk line west- bound classification," applying upon through traffic originating at the seaboard cities and points east of the western termini of the trunk lines and destined to Buffalo, Erie, Pittsburg, Parkers- burg, etc., and to a number of competitive points, trade centers, or railroad junctions beyond. Third. The east-bound classification, which alone applied to east-bound traffic originating in the territory east of Chicago and the Mississippi River, west of the western termini of the trunk lines and north of the Ohio River and destined to the .western termini of the trunk lines and points eas't thereof. Fourth. Traffic between competitive interior points in the Middle States, namely. New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, and between the several trunk lines and connecting roads, was governed by the Joint Merchandise Classification, which also applied to the local traffic on certain roads. Fifth. The Middle and Western States classification applied to ,traffic between competitive interior points west of the western termini of the trunk lines east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio River. When it became certain that the interstate-commerce act would become a law, early in 1887, the railroad companies decided, at a meeting held for the purpose, that it would be necessary to create and if possible adhere to a uniform classification. At this meeting there was appointed a special committee, composed of representatives of ten or twelve different roads, whose duty it was to go over the various classifications then in force and unite them into one classification, and the result of the work of this committee was the formation of Official Classification No. 1. Under the former arrangement the through or larger portion of the classified traffic was carried in two classifications; the west-bound classification was applied to traffic moving westward, while an entirely separate classification was applied to traffic moving eastward. These two classifications, as well as the rates of the respective classes, were entirely dissimilar; the latter made provision for twelve or thirteen classes which embraced the heavier or bulk freight, carried mainly in carload quantities from the western centers to the seaboard, while the former provided almost exclusively for package freight, usually transported in small or less than carload shipments, the rules and regulations applicable to each classification being in a few instances similar. The conditions and the requirements upon which the present classification is based are of an entirely different character, as the new issue governs all traffic, through and local, between all stations of the roads within the territory described. Official Classification No. 1 was i.'^sued April 1, 1887, and may be said to have been largeh' experimental, as it was hardly to be expected that the commerce of so large an area could at once be made to conform to the new conditions resulting from the consolidation of the widely different classifications formerly in use. Protests and applications for changes were at once received from shippers as well as from many of the railroads, and a revision of the first issue was almost imme- diately begun, resulting in the publication of Official Classification No. 2, on July 16, 1887. Appli- cations from various interested parties, committees of shippers, and the railroads were constantly THE DEVELOPMENT^ OF FREIGHT CLASSIFICATIONS. 17 before the Classification Committee, the greater portion of which received favorable consideration; The consequent revisions in the classifications have necessitated frequent issues of this publica- tion, the last being No. 22, of January 1, 1902. Influence of Carload Minimums. — Any statement of the conditions under which freight is carried would be incomplete without reference to the "carload minimum," for an increase in tEo minimum carload lot is equivalent to an increase in the freight charge on shipments, which on this account must be carried at 100-pound or ton rates. In order to make clear the conditions under which freight is carried and the changes in those conditioffs in y^rs past;" there is introduced at this point a series of summaries, which show the carload minimums on the commod-,' ities selected by this report for illustrating the changes in published tariffs. At the head of each summary will be found a statement of the numbers of the tables to which the facts presented in the summary pertain. Not only are the changes in carload minimums presented in concise manner, but the necessity of .repeating this information in connection with each of the main tables which follow is obviated. The general rules relative to minimum carload weights which govern shipments made under the class rates according to the Official Classification are as follows, unless otherwise specified in the classification itself: 1887 — Apr. 1. Third class and higher, 20,000 pounds; lower than third class, 24,000 pounds. 1899 — Feb. 1. Third class and higher, 20,000 pounds; lower than third class, 30,000 pounds. July 1. All classes, 30,000 pounds. 1902— Apr. 1. All classes, 30,000 pounds. The special provisions in the Official Classification which make exceptions to the above rules relative to minimum carload weights, so far as they pertain to commodities the rates on which are presented in this report, will be found in the following tables: Table I. — Changes in the Minimum Carload Weights on the Articles shown, in Carloads, from April 1, 1887, TO April 1, 1902.

Data for this purpose are given to some extent for each of the leading classifications now in use. The separate tables are provided with notes of explanation from which it will be possible to determine to what extent lower rates are due to changes in the classification alone. THE OFFICIAL CLASSIFICATION. The first of these tables is arranged to show for a large number of articles the classification and rates between New York and Chicago in force in the year 1886, as compared with the classi- fication and rates on same articles between same points from 1887 to 1902, inclusive, under the consolidated OflBcial Classification as modified from time to time. Changes in these rates shown by these comparisons may result from either of three causes: First, a change of rating in the classification; second, a change in the rate itself; third, the assignment of a carload rating to articles which were formerly provided with a less than carload rating only and which were charged the same rate when shipped in carload quantities. In 1886 the rates between New York and Chicago were on a distinct basis as between east-bound and west- bound traffic; the east- bound rates being considerably higher on same class than those applied on west-bound traffic, as will be seen from the table. Prior to April, 1887, the east-bound traffic was divided into thirteen classes, while the west- bound traffic was included in four regular classes and a " special" class. By the adoption of the Official Classification, at the time the Act to regulate commerce became effective, the traffic was confined to six classes, and both classification and rates were made to apply alike in both directions. An examination of the table will show that while the consolidation of classifications had the effect in some cases of advancing the rates, the majority of changes prior to 1900 resulting therefrom were reductions.

The most satisfactory form of presenting the general results of the consolidation of the classifications, which was made on April 1, 1887, is given by the table following, showing the number of articles covered by the former classifications, which were superseded by the Official Classification. The table is arranged to show the total number of classifications or descriptions, and also the proportion receiving separately less than carload and carload rates, together with the percentage of the number of descriptions in each classification. In explanation of the figures in the foregoing table, it should be stated that the number of items shown represents the entire number of descriptions under which classified freight is shipped, and is much greater than the actual number of.rarticles classified. The class under which any particular article may be shipped and the rate that may be obtained often varies, depending upon its relative size, the manner in which it is packed for shipment, and the degree of risk assumed by the carrier. In the present Official Classification there are 9,370 separate items, of which 1,722, or 18.37 per cent, are foi- shipments in quantities less than carloads, which are given the same rating when in carloads; 7,192, or 79.96 per cent, are for shipments in less than carload quantities, which have a separate lower rating when in carloads, and 156, or 1.66 per cent, are for shipments in carload quantities only. From these figures it is shown that the total number of items in the present Official Classification exceeds by 8,379 the number in the former west-bound classification applying from the seaboard, and that the proportion classified as 1. c. 1., with the same rating for c. 1., has decreased from 84.86 per cent in the old to 18.37 per cent in the new, while the proportion classified as 1. c. 1., with a lower rating when iii carloads, has increased from 14.11 per cent in the old to 79. 96 per cent in the new. Of the total number of items in the old west-bound classification, 66.78 per cent of the articles classified were classed above fourth class, and 33.22 per cent were in fourth class or lower. These relations were greatly changed by the classification in force in 1890, when only 62. 30 per cent o^ the articles classified were in classes higher than fourth class, and 47.70 per cent in fourth class or lower. The reclassification of 1900 moved in the opposite direction, as is shown by the fact that at present 69.06 percent of articles classified are in classes higher than fourth class, and 40.95 per cent are in fourth class or lower. The number of articles for which no distinction was made as between the 1. c. 1. and c. .1. rates were relatively more in the old classification than in the Official as now arranged, and conversely the number of articles which are classified lower when in c. 1. than in 1. c. 1. quantities in the Official is relatively greater than the number similarly provided for in the old classification. Including the number of articles classified only in carload quantities with the articles classified both 1. c. 1. and c. 1., the total number of items in the former west-bound classification given a carload rating was 147, or 16.14 per cent, while in the present Official there are 7,348, or 81.61 per cent, receiving a carload rating. The former east-bound classification embraced a relatively larger tonnage taken at carload rates than either of the other old classifications mentioned, yet the application of the Official shows an increase of 6,529 items which may be now carried at carload rates between the points to which the east-bound classification formerly applied. While the total number of items in the new classification is much greater than in the old classifications, it should be again explained that this numerical increase does not imply an addition to the traffic of new articles of commerce j it simply means that in many cases a commodity which under the old classifications was found in one class only, regardless of the manner in which it might be offered for shipment, is under the new classification placed in two or more different classes, according to the form in which it is received for transportation. In the numerous publications which have appeared from time to time, intended to show movements in transportation rates, only passing comment has been bestowed upon changes in the rates resulting from changes in freight classifications. It is common to compare the rates for various classes between two points for different periods and to draw conclusions from the changes shown by such comparisons. When these comparisons omit reference to the changes made within the same period in the classification they are obviously incomplete. It is a part of the history of freight classifications that from the date of their adoption constant pressure is brought to bear upon carriers using them from all classes of shippers for a lower classification of the articles in which they have business interest. Prior to the year 1900 these demands were usually met by the carriers, resulting in frequent reductions in the leading classifications; but since the beginning of the year mentioned such concessions have been comparatively rare, the majority of classified tion changes during this period having been advances instead of reductions in rating.

As compared with the classifications of previous years, shown by the table, a large increase is observed. This increase is due to the addition of new articles and principally from extending the classifications to provide for the different forms of shipment of articles already classified. By the arrangement adopted for the table it may readily be seen to what extent articles now receiving a carload rate have increased. Eor example, in 1882 only 17.88 per cent of the articles were given a carload rating. At the present time 66.34 per cent of the articles may be taken at lower rates when in carload quantities than when in less than carload quantities. There has also been a large increase iu the number of articles which are carried in carload quantities only, making a total of 70.79 per cent assigned a carload classification. As further illustrative of the operations of the Western Classification the following table is inserted, showing for a number of important articles the changes in the classification from Chicago to Missouri River points, together with the changes in the rates for the same com- modities. From this table it may readily be seen to what extent changes have been made, both in the classification and in the rates. Similar modifications have taken place in the through and local rates of all railroads throughout the territory covered by this classification.

Prior to 1887 there were many local classifications used throughout this territory which it is understood have since been superseded, and there are now few roads in the territory described not using the Western Classification exclusively. The section served by this classification is seen to cover a vast area, in which are located thou- sands of villages, towns, and cities, the transportation business of which is to a large extent affected by its operation. Excluding grain, coal, lumber, live stock, etc., which are principally carried at commodity rates, there yet remain many classes of merchandise, such as clothing, groceries^ drugs, machinery, household effects, and innumerable other articles consumed in one form or another by the people, and which are covered by this classification. Important changes have taken place, the extent of which will be shown in the following table: Table XXII. — Compaeison of the Various Classifications Used during the Years 1873, 1878, 1882, 1886, 1887, 1890, 1895, 1900, and 1902, in the Tehritoby now Covered by the Western Classification. fear. total number of RATINGS.

This classification applies throughout the territory south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, and east of the Mississippi River. In this classification, as well as in the previous ones men- tioned, there have been extensive modifications by the increase in the number of descriptions of articles carried thereunder.

When these figures are placed in comparison with the* corresponding figures for 1887, or 1876, the change that has taken place in the condition of transportation in the southern territory through the agency of classification is made evident. Reference to the last two columns of the above table shows a slight advance in the percentage of ratings assigned to the first, second, and third class, and a corresponding reduction in the percentage of the lower classes. The following table shows the changes in the class rates between two important points in this section from 1876 to 1902, inclusive, and also shows both the classification and rate changes on the principal commodities between the same points for the same period: Table XXIV. — Comparison of Classification and Bates Effective during the Years 1876, 1880, 1887, 1890, 1895, 1900, AND 1902 in the Territory" now Covered by the Southern Classification.

The through or competitive traffic of the United States is divided into several well-defined sections, the rate-making basis of each of which, as well as the competitive conditions under which the railways operate, is distinctive in many features. Briefly described these sections are as follows: (1) The territory north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of Chicago and the Mississippi River. (2) The territory south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi River. (3) The territory west of Chicago and the Mississippi River. (4) Competitive traffic to and from Pacific coast. In each of these sections the traffic is divided into several general descriptions, dis- tinguishable by the character of the commodities, the direction of movement, and the operation of freight associations. For each the more important rates have been selected and such data given as will most fully present the tendency of the changes. CHANGES IN KATES OF TKAFEIC FKOM EASTERN SEABOARD CITIES TO WESTERN COMPETITIVE POINTS, VIA ALL-RAIL ROUTES. Before proceeding to a study of the changes in the rates as shown by the tables for this traffic, it is important that the methods under which the schedules are constructed should first be explained. Freight tariffs covering the traffic from the eastern seaboard territory to western points are established under the rules and regulations of the associations known as the Trunk Line and Central Freight Associations. The former embraces the important roads leading from the eastern seaboard to Buffalo, Erie, Salamanca, Pittsburg, Parkersburg, and Wheeling, which points are known as the western termini of the trunk lines, and are also the eastern termini of roads in the Central Freight Association. Under agreements of several years' standing it has been the custom of these roads, forming by connections through lines from the seaboard to the "West, to determine through rates from New York to Chicago, and to adopt such rates as the standard or basis for the construction of tariffs from other eastern cities and points adjacent thereto which are directly or indirectly in competition for western business. 42 EAILWAYS Iisr THE UNITED STATES IN 1902. The principal seaboard cities are New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and adjacient to each of these are important industries commanding for the points at which they are located equal transportation rates and facilities with the larger cities. For thirty years or more the rates from' Boston to western competitive points have been. the same as from New York. From Philadelphia and Baltimore the rates are "agreed differentials" less than New York, the Baltimore rates being also lower than Philadelphia rates. The westward traffic from the seaboard is carried principally under classified tariffs. The number of classes and the rates for each as now in effect are shown in the following table: Table XXV. — West-bound Bates, Seaboakd Cities to Chicago.

It is found that the differences in 1875 were as follows: Table XXVI. — West-Bound Dippekentials. CLASSES (KATES IN CENTS PER 100 POUNDS). Philadelphia (lower than New York rates) Baltimore (lower than New York rates) In 1876 the system of determining the differentials was from time to time modified. Fixed differentials were again reestablished in 1877. Those shown in connection with the table of rates above have been continuously in effect since that time and may, for the purposes of studying the rates herein presented, be considered as applicable to the entire period covered. Under existing arrangements the roadg leading from the East publish rates and issue through bills of lading to all western points located on the railroads within the territory west of Buffalo and Pittsburg, east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers. The agreed rates and dis- tances from New York to Chicago are taken as the standard, or 100 per cent. Through rates to the principal western cities, towns, and junction points in the territory above described are com- puted at a percentage of the New York-Chicago rates, based generally on the relative mileage of such points to the Chicago mileage. For example: Rates New York to Detroit, Mich, are com- puted at 78 per cent of the rate New York to Chicago. In the same manner rates New York to Indianapolis, Ind., are 93 per cent of the New York-Chicago rates; Cincinnati, Ohio, 87 per cent- Erie, Pa., 60 per cent; Columbus, Ohio, 77 per cent; Cleveland, Ohio, 71 per cent; St. Louis' Mo., 116 per cent. Thus the New York-Chicago rates being at all times applied as the basis would, when changed, create relative changes in the rates to the other western points. In a similar manner the relation as to rates is maintained from the other eastern cities. When rates from New York to western points are changed like changes are made from Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and points receiving the same rates, the "differentials" as between the eastern cities being at all times maintained. The general basis for the construction of tariffs, as here described, from New York and other eastern cities to Chicago and other western points indicated, has been practically the same for years. With this explanation the tables presenting rates from New York may be accepted indicating the changes from Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. as CHANGES IN COMPETITIVE EA.TES. 43 STANDARD AND DIFFERENTIAL ROUTES. An important element in the arrangement of rate schedules is the distinction made in the class of' railroads or routes, by which certain routes are under agreement allowed to charge lower rates than others to the same points of destination. This is another feature of the "differential" plan, and has within recent years been extensively applied in the territory now under consideration. From each of the eastern cities there are two classes of roads, which are commonly termed the "standard lines" and the "differential lines." The standard lines are those which are conceded to possess advantages over their competitors by reason of shorter all-rail distance, and superior facilities arising from old and well-established connections and freight organizations. The differential lines are those which, on account of the longer routes and inadequate facilities, or owing to their through routes being partly by water, or from other disadvantages, can not command, at even rates with the more direct lines, an amount of tonnage which under customary methods for determining such matters would be considered a fair proportion. With a view to equalizing these conditions and securing the permanency of the tariffs, as well as to bring about a fair distribution of the traffic, the ' ' differential lines " are accorded somewhat lower rates than the "standard lines." At this time there are ten different lines leading from New York competing for western business. The rates upon classified traffic, New York to Chicago, prior to April 1, 1895, all-rail routes, were as follows: Table XXVII. — West-bound Rates, New Yoek to Chicago by Vahious Routes.

The data presented by the tables following, covering all-rail rates, have been obtained from the older established companies whose records were found satisfactory for this purpose; such companies are the standard lines under the system just described in Table XXVII. A statement covering the changes of each line, if such data were procurable, would present more fully the actual changes which have taken place. It does not, however, appear necessary to enlarge the report on this account, as under the methods described for constructing the rates the changes from New York may be accepted as representing the changes from all other eastern cities.

The freight charges between the two most important shipping centers in the country are here presented for forty years— a longer period than has ever previously appeared in one table. Absence of knowledge of the circumstances under which the varying rates of the different years were established precludes the adoption of any form of analysis which could be applied to the whole period. The character of the rates of certain years might be easily traced to the events of those years notably affecting the transportation interests; 1864 and 1865 were years near the close and just following the war. In 18Y7 the Trunk Line Association was formed and in 1887 the Act to regulate commerce was passed. For these years higher rates are observed During the summer months the all-rail lines are in competition with the lake-and-raH and canal-and-lake routes, to which competition has frequently been attributed the low all-rail rates CHANGES IN COMPETITIVE RATES. 45 reductions by the latter at such times being necessary to retain a share of the business. This can not, however, be regarded as a final explanation, since the table shows quite a number of periods of unusually low rates which could not have been affected by lake competition. Next following will be presented numerous tables showing changes in rates on important commodities from New York to a number of western competitive points. These points have been selected principally on account of their importance as commercial and distributing trade centers, and to which the greater portion of the westward traffic from the seaboard cities is carried. The commodities given have been carefully selected and are intended to embrace (1) those representative of different commercial classes, (2) those of universal use, and (3) those which have been carried in practicall}' the same form throughout the entire period covered. The shipping terms as now employed for many classified articles are quite unlike those of 1867, and the frequent changes in the nomenclature of the freight classifications have made it very difficult to trace the rating for many of the articles; but so far as has been possible the rates shown through- out the tables cover the same form of package, or represent the standard commercial package from time to time prevailing for these articles. At the left hand of the tables will be found the dates on wMch a change was made in the rate itself on one or more articles, or a change in the classification of an article resulting in a change in the rate. The headlines are self-explanatory, columns being provided for less than carloads and carload rates for such articles as are carried in both forms. Where the figures are omitted and ''special rate" inserted the records of the railroads failed to show the actual rate charged. In such cases the rate may be assumed to have been lower than the preceding rate shown. In the parlance of the railroads in former years the term "special rate" generally implied a secret rate, which was often omitted from the schedules and known only to the company and favored patrons. 46 EAILWAYS IN THE UNITE.D STATES IN 1902.

The table following shows the rates from the principal Missouri River points, such as Atchison, Kansas City, St. Joseph, and Leavenworth, to St. Louis, for classified traffic, the principal grain articles, and cattle, hogs, and sheep, the period covered being from 1877 to the present time. The freight classification governing these rates has changed at various times, and such changes have resulted in a lower classification of the articles taken under the class rates in this table. For the articles specially mentioned it may be seen exactly what changes have taken place. The second table, although partially covering rates shown in the first, embraces also the rates for packing-house products, and shows the changes since January 17, 1879.

Note.— For changes in the minimum carload weights governing the commodities shown above (Irom 1887), in carloads, see Table XI. GRAIN RATES FROM KANSAS AND NEBRASKA POINTS. Below are given two tables showing changes in rates on wheat, corn, and other grain from Kansas and Nebraska points to Chicago. The first table begins with 1883, and shows the successive changes up to the present time from Nebraska points. In the second table will be found similar data from Kansas points, .beginning with 1886. An effort has been made to collect data which would show the changes in the through rates from Kansas and Nebraska to the seaboard. Owing to the fact that the rates from these locali- ties to the seaboard are not published as through rates, it has been found impossible to compile these rates for a period sufficiently long to serve for the purposes of comparison. In explanation of the manner in which the through rates are determined it may be said that rates are published by the western roads from Kansas and Nebraska to Chicago and to the Mississippi Eiver. The rates to the Mississippi Eiver are usually 5 cents per 100 pounds less than the rates to Chicago. The through rates to the eastern seaboard are generally made on the combination of the rates east and west of the Mississippi River. It has been explained that the rates eastward from the Mississippi River to the seaboard are constructed upon a percentage basis of .the Chicago rate; at present this percentage is 116. In order to ascertain the rates from the Mississippi Eiver the tables showing the grain rates via all rail from Chicago may be extended to apply from the Mississippi River by increasing them 16 per cent. By this process it is shown that a rate of 17i cents per 100 pounds all rail from Chicago to New York is equivalent to 20i cents OHANGEa IH" COMPETITIVE RATES. 107 per 100 pounds from the Mississippi Eiver to New York. The rates from Kansas. and Nebraska to the Mississippi Eiver, as above mentioned, may be obtained by deducting 5 cents from the Chicago rate. For example, the rate on corn from Lincoln, Nebr., to Chicago is at present 17 cents per 100 pounds; accordingly the rate to the Mississippi River would be 12 cents per 100 pounds. Combining the rates thus obtained east and west of the Mississippi River it is shown that the through rate from Lincoln, Nebr., to New York on corn would be 12 cents plus 20^ cents, or 32^ cents. This plan of computing the through rate would apply to traffic passing as through shipments from western* points to the seaboard for equal periods, and may be followed, if rates are to be obtained for even dates, in the table showing the eastward rates from Chicago (see Table XLIV, p. 79), and in the tables here given. Traffic of tMs character may be taken to Chicago, and thence forwarded east via the lakes. In such case it would be almost impossible to compute the through rate; there would always be doubt as to the proper charge eastward from Chicago. The method suggested will assist in arriving at through rates to the seaboard if such rates are desired for the all-rail routes.

CHANGES IN LOCAL RATES. i63 The rates shown in th6 foregoing tables, it should be understood, are the rates named in the regular published tariffs. It is a well-known fact, however, that the rates actually charged for a number of years past on a large portion of the most important traffic, such as packing-house products, dressed meats, grain, grain products, etc. , have been far below the published tariff rates; the secret rates being in some instances only about half the regular published rates. From the spring of 1902 up to the present time (September, 1903), tariff' rates appear to have been better maintained than at any time within the last ten years. CHANGES IN LOCAL RATES. Rates charged between points located upon the same road are designated as "local rates." The changes in such rates are, as a rule, less frequent than in joint rates. The tables following show the changes in local class rates between important points on some of the principal roads in various sections of the country, the changes in most cases being shown from and including the year 1886 to the present time. After 1887 the rates are shown for the years 1890, 1895, 1900, and 1902. An examination of these tables will show that the rates in 1886 were, in most cases, on a higher basis than in 1887 and subsequent thereto. The reduction in local rates in 1887 was no doubt due to efforts on the part of many carriers to make their tariff's conform to the rule of the fourth section, commonlj" known as the long and short haul section, of the Act to regulate commerce. While the tables show reductions in some cases since 1887, it can not be said that there has been any marked tendency toward a decrease in local rates since that date; in fact, in one important section (Central Freight Association territory) the local rates are, as a rule, higher at present than they were in 1887. (See Tables CXXXIII to CXLVII.) The advance in this territory was made in April, 1896, and these rates are still in force.
