WASHINGTON. Autr- 1. Sched
ules of livestock, commission rates at
Chicuffo, Omaha, Kansas City and
St. Louis have bfen under consid
eration by arbiter of the packers
and tftockyards administration of the
United States department of agri
culture, will be matcirially reduced
as a result of the report ami award
made public Tuesday. By the new
rates it ix estimated that producers
and shippers will save three-quarters
of n million dollars a vear m com
missions.
Through mutual consent of the
complainants and respondents the
decision was left in the hands of two
representatives of the packers und
stockyards administration of the de
partment of agriculture, G. N. Dixg-
Ker, in charge of the rate division,
uml Howard M. Gore, in ehanre ol
the trade practice division, the pro
ducers organizations and tne com
mission men aorreein&r to abide bv
their decision.
It was the first time that live
stock commission rates had 'been de
termined in this manner.
Cut From $1 lo $2 a Car.
Tho new rates for selling cattle
at St. Paul, Omaha ami Kansas City
was u minimum of $15 for 20 head
or less and a maximum of $1!) for
a carload, at the rate of 65 cents
per head for St. Paul and Kansas
City and 70 cents for Omaha. The
Chicago minimum charge for 20
head or less will , be $17t and with a
maximum of $21. The cuts Irepre
sented in these rates for Kansas
City, Omaha and St. Paul amount
to from $1 to $2 a car and from
10 to 15 cents a head. The new
calf rates on the first three of these
markets for single deck cars are a
minimum of $15 and a maximum of
$20 with a per head rate of HO cents,
double deck, cars ut a minimum of
$21 and a maximum of $20. At
Chicago the cuts represented are for
cattle, $1 to $;i a car and 15 cents
a head; for calves, single deck, will
be a minimum of $17 and a maxi
mum of $22: double "decks $23 to $28:
the per head charge being 30 cents-
This is a reduction ranging from
SI to $4 a car and 5 to 10 cents a
head.
The new rates on hogs at the
first three markets are a minimum
of $12 for 50 head or less, and 15
cents per head up o u maximum of
22, on double deck carloads. , At
Chicago, the limits on singles are
$13 and $15 and on doubles $18
and $23. The reductions range from
$1 to $4 a car and firom 13 to 15
cents a head on hogs.
The new sheep rates at Kansas
City and St. Paul will be the same
as the present rate at Omaha.
Mixed stock rates have been re
vised in accord with other changes

service. When prorating is done, a;
charge of 25 cents for each owner
shall be made, with a minimum
charge of $1 and a maximum of
$2.50. This means a cut of $1 on
go, und $1 on the maximum at Chi-
go, iuul$l on the maximum at Chi
cago. The other markets condered
here do not have a separate pro
rating charge, iut the new prorat
ing schedule applies to all ol them.
Collections (..milled.
The amounts that selling agenc
ies can collect for personal ser
vice have been limited by these new
schedules, and charges can be made
only to the extent that the service
has been utilized bv shippers. Re
vised schedules contemplate basic
charges for those shipments requir
ing services in addition to usual
standard service. This makes it pos
sible for shippers to take advantage
of the basic charge when the na
ture of the shipment makes extra
service unnecessary.

Accepted by Exchanges.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1. The arbitra
tion decision lowering commission
rates on livestock will be accepted
by the exchanges, which "regard the
decision of Messrs. Gore ami Dag
ger us another example of the effi
cacy of the arbitration method of
settling such disputes," Everett
Ilrown, president of the Chicago and
National livestock exchanges said in
a stntement Tuesday. The two arbi
trators, he added acted as disinter
ested arbitrator! und not as govern
ment officials, and the exchanges,
producers ami department of agri
culture entered into stipulations to
anide oy the decision.
"Hud the exchanges declined to
arbitrate und stood on , their legal
rights, lengthy litigation would have
resulted." said Mr. Krown. "ami al
though this decision iM disadvantag
eous to livestock commission men,
we accept it in the same spirit that
we entered the arbitration. ,
"We want livestock oroducers ofi
tho country to understand," he con- j
tinued, "that in accepting this cut j
me uuanciai resuus oi -which can
not even be approximated at the
moment, livestock commission men
have acted voluntarily by accepting
arbitration both in principle and in
pructice, and that the result should
be ore acceptable to ull concerned
than had it been merely a govern
ment order.''
