FOREWORD
This report covers rate and statistical data relating to the trans-
portation of Cattle, Hogs, and Sheep, commodity groups 180, 181, 190,
191, 200 and 201. It also covers Fresh Meats, Meats, Cured, Dried or Smoked;
and Packing House Products, Edible, NCS; also Butterine and Margarine,
commodity groups 210, 220, 222 and 221, respectively.
Comprehensive reports on Cattle and Calves, Hogs, Sheep and Lambs,
also on Fresh Meats and Packing House Products, have been submitted by
the Subcommittee on Economic Study which contain interesting and in-
structive data, relating to production, slaughter, marketing, trans-
portation and other features forming the economic background on these
commodities. This report contains a summary of the more pertinent data
in the Economic Subcommittee's reports.
To indicate the importance of livestock and meat products to the
Class I railroads, it is pointed out that in 1939 (before the expansion of
railroad traffic accounted for by World War II) the freight revenue for
the transportation of edible livestock and the meat products represented
the following percentages of total carload revenue: Eastern District,
3,2%; Western District, 4.9%; Southern District, 2.2%.
The sections of this report dealing with freight rates (unless other-
wise specified) reflect June 30, 1946 levels and do not include thc Ex
Parte 148 or Ex Parte 162 increases.

SECTION I - IIV STOCK--{DAT FRODUCTS--STATISTICAL AND ECONCHIC DATA
PART A LIVESTOCK
Unlike other industries the livestock industry had no immediate recon-
version problem of a major character. That may come later after production and
consumption at home and abroad approach normal levels. Froducers may then find
it to their advantage to make extensive adjustrients in their production in ac-
cordance with existing demands.
(1.)--I FORTANCE OF THE I IVESTOCK INDUSTRY--
The production of meat animals is a major national industry. It produces
a very large supply of essential food. It is the primary agricultural enter-
prise in large sections of the country, and in other sections it is an important
adjunct to other branches of agriculture, It is the basic source of a huge
volume of new wealth each year. In terms of value of products, the production
of meat animals ranks with the nation's largest industries.
(2.)--YARIY TRED CF JIVYTOCK IN PARIS AND HANC'ES
Table I shows the number of cattle and calves on farms and ranches on
January 1 for the years 1909 through 1946. xcept for World War I and World
War II periods, the total number of cattle showed conparatively small changes
from year to year; but in 1941 and up to 1944 there was a marked increase,
reaching the peak in 1944 of 82,364,000 head. The downward movement of the
beef cattle-number cycle reflected the record slaughter of cattle and calves
in 1945; and the change in 1946 appears to be an orderly adjustment of cattle
numbers from a record peak to a level better related to a possible decreased
demand for beef and veal in the post-war period,

Table II shows the number of hogs on farms January 1 for the years 1309
through 1946. Up to 1924, the ceneral trend was upward, but this movement vias
checked during the next ten-year period, After the 1934-16 caught, the hog
numbers rose; and the 1943 and 1944 expansion reflected increased demand con-
nected with World War II. A sharp decrease took place during the calendar
year 1944, as shown by the January 1, 1945 figure; and there as only a small
recovery in 1945 as shown by the January 1, 1946 figure. 1945 was a year

Table III shows the number of stock sheep and Jambs on farms and
ranches January 1, 1909 through 1945. The record number was reached in
1942; and beginning with that year sheep numbers have declined sharply, and
on January 1, 1945, the number reflected the lowest year since 1929.

- REASONS FOR GROWTH OF TRUCKING.
Convenience, flexibility and changes in marketing str cture largely
account for the rapid growth of truc transportation. Trucks rermit livestock
to move from farm to market in a single movement, enable marketing in smaller
lots, and allow tne selier the choice of anv market within trucking distance.
Decentralization of slaughter and relat v growth of markets in producing arees
also have contributed to the growth of truck transportation.

PART B - STATISTICAL AND ECONOMIC DATA-MEAT PRODUCTS
(1) As a result of a flourishing meat industry in this country through-
out the years our people have come to take an ample supply of meat for granted.
As a nation we have not fully recognized the extent to which our national
characteristics and our progress have been due to the inclusion of meat in our
daily diet.
The great bulk of all production of meat and products is in the Corn
Belt (equivalent to the North Central Region as used in this report). This
area not only slaughters its own animals but also draws upon adjacent areas to
the westward and southward.
Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota are the leading

states in value of output.

meat-packing industry.
There has been a trend in recent years toward decentralization of the
The growth of interior packing and of direct
marketing of livestock, with diminished receipts of animals at central
markets, has made more difficult the operation of large plants at these
central markets.
Another development during the last two decades or so is the widespread
use by meat packers of motor trucks, especially in areas adjacent to packing

supplanted the use of "paddler cars" and "line haul cars" in which distribution
of LCL shipments was made with rail handling.
Table X shows, by years, 1909-46, total U. S. meat production, dressed
weight, excluding lard, and distribution of production by class of slaughterer.
13.
Total meat production rose from about 14 billion pounds in 1910 to 17.3
billion pounds in 1918, declined to 15.2 billion pounds in 1921, and rose to
17.7 billion pounds in 1923. Production in 1924-34, ranged between 16 billion
and 17.6 billion pounds annually, declined to 14.4 billion pounds in 1935, and
rose to 16.8 billion pounds in 1936. Total production then increased steadily
from 15.7 billion pounds in 1937 to 19.0 billion pounds in 1940 and to 24.7
billion pounds in 1944, with a drop in 1945. There were severe droughts in
1934 and 1936 and a program of government sow and pig slaughter in 1933.
Total commercial production, including federally-inspected and other
commercial production, in 1930 was 12.8 billion pounds, or 80 per cent of
total production, and ranged during 1931-38 between 12.5 billion and 13.6
billion pounds annually, except in 1935. Commercial production rose steadily
from 14.0 billion pounds in 1939 to 20.4 billion pounds in 1944. Total com-
mercial production ranged between 77 and 80 per cent of total production in
1931-39, rose to 83.3 per cent in 1942, and was 82.7 per cent of total in 1944.
Federally-inspected production (required in plants which ship interstate)
was 64.5 per cent of total production in 1921, rose to about 70 per cent in
1928-29, and declined to 68.6 per cent in 1930. It ranged between 65 and 68
per cent of total production in 1931-40, rose to 68.9 per cent in 1941 and to
72.7 per cent of total production in 1944.
In relation to total commercial production, federally-inspected production
declined from about 90 per cent in 1921 to about 83 per cent in 1937-40 and
rose to 88 per cent in 1944. During World War II the number of meat-packing
plants under federal inspection increased greatly, primarily in order to be
eligible to furnish neat and meat products to the armed forces and for Lend-
Lease.

Chart 3, Page 16 shows the trend of total meat production in the United
States, years 1910-1945. Individual trend lines are shown for Beef and Veal,
Pork, and Lamb and Mutton.
(2)- COMMERCIAL MEAT PRODUCTION, BY KINDS.
Table XI shows for 1925, 1930 and annually for 1935-45, the estimated
commercial production of meat in the United States and percentage distribution
by kinds. This production forms the basis for railroad tonnage,
Production of pork and beef, combined, accounted for more than 85 per
cent of total meat production in each of these years. Pork production led in
8 of the 13 years shown. Beef production led in 1935-38 and in 1945. There
were severe droughts in the grain states in 1934 and 1936.
Commercial production of pork declined from 5.9 billion pounds, or 46 per
cent of total commercial meat production, in 1925 to 4 billion pounds and 35
per cent in 1935. It rose in 1936 to 5.3 billion pounds and 40 per cent, de-
clined in 1937, rose to 5.6 billion pounds, or 42 per cent in 1938, and then
increased steadily to 7.7 billion pounds and 49 per cent in 1947. Production
of pork in 1941 was 7.3 billion pounds, or 45.5 per cent of total, rose in
1943 to 10.4 billion pounds, or 52.5 per cent, and again rose to 10.5 billion
pounds, but declined to 51.4 per cent of total commercial production, in 1944.
Pork production fell to 7.6 billion pounds and 42 per cent of total in 1945, a
year of great disturbance in grain supply and price relationships.
Commercial production of beef amounted to about 5.7 billion pounds in
1925 and 1935, but was 44 per cent of total commercial meat production in 1925
and 51 per cent in 1935. Beef production rose in 1936 to 6.5 billion pounds,
but declined to 48 per cent of total. About 6 billion pounds of beef were
produced annually in 1937-39 and 6.3 billion pounds in 1940. From 7.2 billion
pounds in 1941, beef production rose to 7.8 billion pounds in 1942 and 1944,

with a decline in 1943, and was 8.4 billion pounds in 1945. Commercial produc-
tion of beef declined from 48 per cent of total commercial meat production in
1936 to 41 per cent in 1940, rose to 44.5 per cent in 1941, then declined to 38
per cent in 1943-44 In 1945 beef production was 46.5 per cent of total com-
mercial meat production.
Commercial production of veal ranged in 1925-43 between 566 million and 860
million pounds annually and rose past 1.1 billion pounds annually in 1944-45.
Veal production rose from 4.4 per cent of total commercial meat production in
1930 to about 7 per cent in 1935 and 1937, declined to 4.3 per cent in 1943,
then rose to 6.3 per cent in 1945.
Commercial production of lamb and mutton rose from 543 million pounds in
1925 to 801 million pounds in 1935 and from 4.2 to 7.2 per cent of total commer-
cial meat production. Lamb and mutton production was close to 800 million
pounds annually in 1936-41 and rose to about 1 billion pounds annually in 1942--
450
Compared with production of all meats, Jamb and mutton ranged between 5 and
6 per cent of total in 1936-45.

PART A RAILROAD STATISTICAL DATA-LIVE STOCK
(1) TREND OF RAILROAD LIVE STOCK TONNAGE AND REVENUE SINCE 1928.
The handling of live stock to markets by motor truck caused severe reduc-
tion in railroad tonnage and revenues but resulted in increased average haul and
average earnings per car. Table XIV shows cattle, hog and sheep tonnage
originated by Class 1 railroads for years 1928-1945, with index number using
1928 as 100%.

Chart 6 page 25 shows trend of carloads of live stock originated by Class 1
carriers in the three major districts for years 1928-1945 and Chart 7, page 26
shows trend of freight revenue from live stock for the same years. Except for
1934 the trend in live stock loadings and revenue was downward from 1928 to 1941
and World War II caused expansion in production with consequent increase in rail
shipments. The 1934 "bulge" was caused by heavy movement of cattle to markets.
because of drought conditions in Western District.

Since 1940 Class I railroads have reported tonnage originating and termin-
ating by states in reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The data
covering live stock have been segregated in an attempt to show live stock tonnage
handled by Class I carriers according to existing Freight Rate territories.
This was done because freight rate levels are somewhat different in the major
territories, and an understanding of the volume of traffic affected by these
rate levels might be of interest. Table XV shows the result of this attempt.
It shors separately live stock tonnage originating and terminating for years
1940-1945. This shows the expansion of live stock traffic handled by Class I

carriers during World War II. In territory west of the Mississippi River
tonnage originated increased from 4,917,000 tons in 1940 to a peak of 7,221,000
tons in 1944. Tonnage in what is designated as Western Trunk Line Territory is
very much greater than tonnage originated in other territories. Tonnage orig-
inated in Illinois was considerably greater than tonnage originating in territor-
ies east of Illinois. Tonnage in so-called Central Freight Association territory
was reater than in Southern Freight Association territory.
1
On tonnage terminating, the situation is slightly different in that
Eastern Trunk Line and New England territories terminate considerably more
tonnage than originated and experienced heavy increases starting with the year
1943 and reaching a peak in 1945.
Table XV also shows percentage distribution by Rate Territories of live
stock tonnage originated and terminated by Class I carriers for years 1940-1945.

PART B - RAILROAD STATISTICAL DATA FRESH MEATS - PACKING HOUSE
PRODUCTS
(1) RAIL TO NAG AND REVENUE
Table XVII, in four parts, shows, by years from 1928 to 1945, for fresh
meat (Class 210); meets, cured, dried, or smoked (Class 220, which also includes
canned meats); and packinghouse products, edible, N.O.S. (Class 222), separately
and combined, the tonnage originated on Class I railroads, revenue therefrom,
and revenue per ton and tons per car originated.
The combined total originations for all three classes somewhat exceeded 5
million tons in each year 1928-29. During the next five years, 1930-34, annual
originations were between 4.3 million and 4.9 million tons, and during the five
years, 1935-39, they fluctuated between 3.6 million and 4.1 million tons. From
the latter level, in 1939, the wartime rise was to nearly 8.5 million tons in
1944, followed by a drop below 6.7 million tons in 1945.
The revenue of Class 1 railroads for all three classcs combined was between
about $63 million and $67 million annually during the seven years 1928-34, ex-
cept for a drop to $61.3 million in 1932. During the five years 1935-39, it
fluctuated between 50 million and 60 million annually averaging $55.4 million.
From $60 million in 1939 it rose annually to more than $120 million in 1944.
The 1945 drop was to 99 million,
For all three classes combined, the 1928-37 range in the average revenue
per ton was between 12.85 in 1929 and 14.20 in 1936. There was a sharp rise
in average revenue per ton in 1938 over 1937, averaging about 1 per ton for the
three classes combined.
The composite average revenue per ton for the three classes showed little
change during 1938-45. Except for a drop to 14.20 in 1944, the maximum 1938-45
range was between $14.42 (1941) and 14.80 (1945).
The composite average load per car originated for the three classes declined
from about 13.8 tons in 1928-29 to 12.5 tons in 1937, rose annually thereafter
to 18,6 tons per car in 1944, and declined to 17.8 tons in 1945. The average load
31
I
per car for each of the three classes declined slightly from 1944 to 1945.
all three classes of commodities, average load per car originated rose sharply
after 1940 due to wartime measures.

for the purpose of showing fluctuation in production versus railroad tonnage.
does not represent the percent of available meat traffic that has been handled by
the railroads as there are no data available to indicate the volume of meat
traffic that is susceptible to rail movement; however, certain trends in this
respect are apparent as reflected by the ratio of railroad tons to production and
by comparison of the index of production with the index of reilroad tons.

PART C RAILROAD STATIST CAL DATA - BUTTERINE AND MARGARINE
singga
Table XX shows, by years 1928-45, tonnage of butterine and margarine,
(Class 221) originated and terminated on Class I railroads, and tot 1 revenue
received therefrom.
Originations and terminations ranged between 20,000 and 33,000 tons
annually in 1935-41, rose to 65,000 tons each in 1942, and to 127,000 tons end
131,000 tons respectively in 1944. Originations declined to 108,000 tons and
terminations to 115,000 tons in 1945.
Revenue of Class I rilro ds from butterine and margarine was approxi-
mately $400,000 to $500,000 nnu lly in 1935-41, rose to $1.6 million in 1943,
and was about 1.5 million annually in 1944-45.
Table XXI shows, for 1940 and 1945, tonnage of butterine and mergerine
originsted and terminated on Class I r-ilrods, by states.
Largest originations in 1940 and 1945, were in Illinois, followed by
Indiana and Ohio. These three status, combined, "ccounted for 17,000 tons, or
$5 per cent of total originations in 1940, nd for 54,000 tons, or 50 per cent
of total in 1945.

Terminations were more widely distributed than originations in 1940.
Oregon terminated 3,000 tons, Georgia and Funnsylvania 2,000 tons coch, N.w
England 3,000 tons, and eleven other states terminated approximately 1,000 tons
each in that yoʻr. In 1945, New York, Funnsylvania, and New Jersey, combined,
terminated 67,000 tons of butterin and merering, or 53 per cent of tot:1

SECTION III LIVE STOCK
PART A
DISTANCE SCALES PRESCRIBED BY INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
<<
FREIGHT RATE LEVELS
}
The standard livestock rates throughout this country have been prescribed
by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the various State Commissions.
Mileage scales were prescribed on interstate traffic but grouping of origin
stations was permitted to market destinations. In some cases, market
destinations were grouped and average mileage used. Mileage used was shortest
rail distance via existing track connections for interchange of carlord
traffic.
Table XXII shows basic livestock rates and minimum weights for
represent-tive mileages in the major rrte territories.
In Western District
and in Official Territory the rates shown represent prescribed rates increased
5% under Ex Parte 123.
Southern territory rates were prescribed after Ex
Parte 123 decision,
Rates on hogs in single deck crrs are uniformly 115%
and on sheep in single deck cars, 125% of the basic rates.

(2) WESTERN DISTRICT
Rates shown in Columns A, B, C, and D of Table XXII were prescribed in
I.C.C. Docket 17000 Part 9 - Livestock-Western District Rates (176 ICC 1)
decided June 8, 1931, which was an inquiry by the Commission on its own
motion, instituted pursuant to the Hoch-Smith resolution, 43 Stat. L 801.
Column A rates apply on ordinary livestock within and between Western Trunk
Line and Southwestern territories, also as a basic scale in arriving at
rates between those territories and Mountain Pacific territory. Column B
rates are 85% of rates en ordinary livestock and have the same application
as Column A rates except that they apply on stocker and feeder livestock.
Rates in Columns C and D apply within Mountain Pacific territory. Rates
between Mountain Pacific territory on the one hand and Westcrn Trunk Line
and Southwestern territories on the other hand are made by the addition
of arbitraries (generally about cent per 100 miles) to basic scales
shown in Columns A and B.
Stocker and feeder rates were prescribed for universal application
except to markets. This lasted until November 15, 1940 when western lines,
by Commission order, were required to publish the feeder rates to the
!
markets also.
(3) CFA, ALSO CFA TO TEUN LINE AND NOW ENGLAND
Eastern scale in Column E of Table XXII was prescribed in I.C.C. Iocket
16746, Eastern Livestock Case of 1926, decided July 14, 1928 (144 ICC 731)
as modified by report on further hearing dated July 2, 1930 (165 ICC 277).
The Commission's decision stated that the Chicago-l'ew York rate was the key
rate to the adjustment (897 miles).

&
A
In the 1928 decision, the Commissior found a base rate of 50.5¢ on
cattle, Chicago to New York to be.proper. The 1930 decision increased
this base rate to 53 and the 5% increase "nder Ex Parte 123 made it 56¢.
The Commission in each instance prescribed usual relationships as between
basing points and normal percentages of the Chicago rates from intermediate
origin groups under the McGraham Formula. Relationships as between Chicago
and Mississippi River Crossings ex-beyond were also defined.
(4) TRUNK LINE TERRITORY
In the 1928 decision in Docket 1676, the Commission reported the
evidence did not afford a basis for a finding as to rates from origins
east of Western Termini of Eastern Trunk Lines; but that insofar as those
rates might be out of line with the rates found reasonable from Central
territory to Trunk Line and bew Ergland territories, defendants should
voluntarily make such revision as would bring about a harmonious adjustment.
In Docket 22416, May 2, 1932 (183 ICC 575), the I.C.C. prescribed rates
from points in Virginia and West Virginia to eastern seaboard territory
slightly higher than the Central territory scale, the difference arounting
from 24 to 3 per 100 pounds. This scale (increased urder Ex Parte 123)
is shown under Column G of Table XXII. Rates are maintained within Trunk
Line territory on a point to point basis and the coverage is quite general,
although the volume is comparatively light.

Southern territory rates in Column F (single line) was prescribed in

The I&S 4779 rates superseded a basis known as
This was a scale agreed to by parties and published by Southern carriers
following Livestock to, from and between points in Southeast, (74 ICC 419).
These rates were found not unreasonable in Livestock, Southern Territory
Rates, (171 ICC 721) decided December 8, 1930. This was another 17000
Part 9 proceeding in which the rates were reviewed in the light of the
Hoch-Smith resolution, but this fact did not prevent the commission from
reducing the rates under IS 4779.
These rate scales are the subject of analysis in another part of
Section III of this report, and their characteristics commented upon.
(6) RATES FROM WESTERN DISTRICT TO OFFICIAL AND
SOUTHERN TERRITORIES
Through rates on livestock from Western District to Official and
Southern territories are made on basis of proportional rates to rate
making gateways plus proportional or local rates therefrom. In the
western case (176 ICC 1) proportional rates were prescribed to Chicago
and Mississippi River gateways, which generally were 4 cents lower than
local rates on ordinary livestock and 3 cents lower on stocker and feeder.
In the eastern case (165 ICC 277) proportional rates 2 cents lower than
local rates were prescribed. These special rates do not apply on livestock
handled through public markets at rate making gateways. Many attempts have
been made to break down combination basis to official territory, (see 183 ICC
291, 185, ICC 498, 198 ICC 73. 201 INC 534, 206 ICC 303, 209 ICC 533,
213 ICC 476 and 220 ICC 227).

As stated, the standard line haul rates are predicated on
shortest rail distances with grouping of origin and destination
used in many instances. Examples of specific commodity rates be-
tween important markets and between representative country stations
and markets are shown in appendices enumerated below, which also
show examples of rail rates reduced to meet motor truck competi-
tion and instances of charges assessed by truck operators.
portion of Section III is devoted to efforts made by rail carriers
to retain and regain livestock traffic by changes in rates, rules
and practices by reason of motor truck competition.

PART B ANALYSIS I.C.C. DISTANCE SCALES
Section II shows that carriers in the Western District must
place greater reliance on revenue from livestock traffic than
carriers in the East and in the South. In the fixation of rate
levels on livestock, and in cases involving general increases or
reductions in rates, the Interstate Commerce Commission has treated
livestock rates more favorably than rates on other commodities gen-
erally. This is especially truc in the Western Great Plains areas
and in Mountain Pacific territory. This practice was also followed
by State Railway Commissions, and there have been instances in
some "estern States of enforced reductions in rates by order of
legislative bodies.
(1) (a) Western District
Decision in Docket 17000 Part 9
The outstanding case in which the Interstate Commcrce Com-
mission acted to accord livestock a favorable rate level ras tho
decision in Livestock Western District Rates, I.C.C. Docket 17000
Part 9, submitted in 1929 after lengthy hearings, ond after delays
occasioned by filing of briefs, oral argument, etc. Competitive
conditions changed to such an extent between the time of taking
of testimony and the effective date of the prescribed rates that
the rate level was out of date at the time it became effective
this because many short haul rates were increased and many long
haul rates were roduced without regard to changed competitive con-
ditions.
The 17000 Part 9 Case was initiated pursuant to the Hoch-
Smith Resolution which was passed in 1925 after the Congress failed
to pass other legislation to assist in according "Relief for Agri-
47
1
+
culture" by reason of price recession following the first World
War. That Resolution was aimed at railroad freight rates on
Products of Agriculture, including Livestock which did not cause
"the existing depression in agriculture".
The following interesting excerpts from the decision in the
Western Livestock Case are quoted as reflecting the Commission's
views of "reasonable rates" under the provisions of the Hoch-
Smith Resolution, also its views of the rate level prescribed by
it for application in the estern District (176 ICC 1 Pages 82
and 83).
"While it is the purpose of the Hoch-Smith resolu
tion to assist depressed industry to the full extent that
minimum reasonable rate levels and properly distributed
transportation burdens can do so, it was not the intent
of the Congress that any commodity, even though it be one
produced by an industry suffering a financial depression,
should be transported by the carriers at less than rea-
sonable rates. A just and reasonable rate level is one
that is justly and fairly related to other just and rea-
sonable rates and that covers the cost of rendering the
service and includes some profit to the carricr in the
aggregate. The extent of that profit is generally deter-
mined by the well-known rule of "what the traffic will beer",
which is largely controlled by the nature of the commodity
and the distance it must move to find a market. Livestock,
as we have elsewhere indicated in this report, is a com-
modity which from its naturc can not be expected to do
more than "pay its own way"; that is, it can not sustain
as rate level which will produce more than the cost of
rendering the service plus a minimum of profit. Judged
evon by these standards, livestock in portions of the
western district is not at present bearing its fair share
of the transportation burden; and under the rate levels
herein found reasonable it will do no more than mect
these minimum requirements. Indeed there is room for
doubt whether the rates found reasonable will, on sheep
and hogs, single deck, and, for the longer hauls of
sheep and hogs, double deck, and cattle, say above 1,000
miles, produce more than a small margin above the actual
cost of transportation. The importance of the freight
charge to the shipper increases in proportion as its
48
*
relation to the value of the load increases; hence in
making rates for the longer distances or on the single-
deck shipments the question of what the traffic will
bear and continue to move freely may properly tend to
a narrowing of the margin of profit."
The Commission's last quoted statements was followed (page 83)
with its findings covering rate levels on "edible" livestock.
Later on, at Page 103 of the decision, the Commission fixed ratcs
on feeder and stocker livestock on basis of 85% of the low rates
on livestock fit for slaughter. is to the application of the
feeder and stocker rates to markets the Commission said:
"In view of the general levels of rates which we
have found reasonable in the Festern district, carriers
should not be required to maintain interstate, rates to
public livestock markets below those found reason.ble
for application on fat stock".
Ата
The non-application of the feeder and stocker rates to markets
and the application of such rates to points on all sides of the
markets created a drastic condition and resulted in litigation
culminating in issuance of "Second Report of the Commission on
Further Hearing" in Docket 17000 Part 9, decided March 14, 1940
(238 ICC 425), finding that maintenance of the 85% basis was
prejudicial to the public markets and preferential of interior
points and requiring removal of undue prejudice by the estab-
lishment of that basis to the public markets. This means that
the carriers are now required to maintain a dual basis of rates
on livestock in the Western District.
To indicate that the Commission considered the Hoch-Smith
Resolution as a "controlling" factor in the Western Case, atten-
tion is called to three decisions in major rate cases involving
livestock rates in the western District rendered within the
49
short period between August, 1921, and March, 1927. These cases
were among the first that were tried along "economic" lincs.
three cases were dismissed. They are:
ICC Docket 12146, National Livestock Shippers League et, al.
v. AT&SF et. al decided August 3, 1921, 63 ICC 107, also same
proceeding, decided June 12, 1922, 69 ICC 407;
ICC Docket 14190, American National Livestock Ass'n., et. al.
v. AT&SF et. al, decided April 28, 1926, 112 ICC 197;

et. al. decided March 14, 1927, 122 ICC 609.
(1) (b) Construction of Testern Scales
Table XXIII shows basic scale as originally prescribed for
application on fat livestock (cattle, also hogs, D.D. and sheep,
D.D.) in Western Trunk Line and Southwestern territories, also
as basis for through rates between those territories and inter-
mountain territory. Rates are shown for each 100 mile block with
rates of progression to show the composition of the scale. Table
XXIII shows similar data covering fecder and stock scale, also
for the scales prescribed for application locally in Mountain
Pacific territory.

As previously stated, stocker and feeder rates are 85% of
Mountain Pacific rates are only 10% higher than the
scale applicable within WTL and SL territories.
progression in the fat livestock scale east of the Rocky Mountains
is only 4 cents pcr 100 miles for distances beyond 500 miles, and
on stocker and feeder livestock it is only 3 cents, and in some
instances, 3¢. The low proportional or reshipping rates on grain
prescribed by ICC from Minneapolis and Missouri River markets to
Chicago roughly reflect a basis of 34 per 100 miles and grain
loads four and sometimes five times as heavy as cattle and sheep,
I.D. The use of such low rates of progression resulted in very.
low rates in the long haul brackets; and disregarded the
extra service which is given livestock in compliance with
The rate of

the 28-36 hour law, the high ratio of empty to loaded car move-
ment, and the large investment of carriers in the shape of spec-
ial equipment, stockyards, and other facilities not needed for the
transportation of other commodities.
Argument cannot be presented that the low rate of progress-
ion attaches to a fairly reasonable rate or base for first hun-
dred miles. Table XXIV shows the original scale prescribed for
application East of Rocky Mountains, showing the percent the rate
for each subsequent 100 miles is of the first hundred miles; then
showing what percent the basic livestock rate for 100 miles is of
the first class rates in TL Zone 1 territory, also in TTL Zone 3
and in Southwestern territories; andfinally, showing percent class
rates for longer hauls is of the rates for first 100 miles.

Table XXIV shows that basic livestock rate on date of prescrip-
tion was the equivalent of Column 30 in WTL Zone 1 territory for
100 miles, and the equivalent of Column 24 in WTL Zone 3 and in
Southwestern territories. It also shows that the rate of pro-
gression in these respective column rates for longer hauls was
materially higher than reflected in the livestock rates. Another
way of stating it would be to say that whereas for the first 100
miles, the livestock rate is the equivalent of Column 30 in
Zone 1 territory and Column 24 in Zone 3 and in Southwestern
territories, for the longer hauls, the livestock rates reflect
progressively lower column rates.
It is unnecessary to make similar tabulation for stocker
and feeder livestock. It will suffice to say that for the first
100 miles, the 17 cent rate on that type of livestock was the
equivalent of Column 26 in Zone 1 territory, and of Column 21 in
Zone 3 and in Southwestern territories.
The Ex Parte 123 decision (Larch, 1938) increased rates on
livestock 5%, and on manufactured commodities generally 10%; and
the Ex Parte 148 increases (suspended) was 3% on livestock and 6%%
on general commodities; thus accentuating the spread. The present
rates on livestock (with Ex Parte 123 increase) for 100 miles are
21 cents on fat and 18 cents on fecder and stocker and reflect
the following prescnt class-column retes:

Long haul rates on manufactured commodities or staple goods
between Mountain Pacific territory and Western Trunk Line or
Southwestern territories, as a general rule, are not constructed
on mileage considerations; and it is not possible to present com-
parison of livestock rates applicable within Mountain Pacific
territory as was done in preceding paragraphs. However, it is
interesting to note that after the decision in Western Trunk Line
Class Rate Case (Dkt. 17000 Part 2), the Commission fixed class
rate levels on interstate traffic between Official and "estern
Trunk Line territories and "yoming and from Official and Western
Trunk Line territories to Central and Eastern Montana by con-
structing so-called Zone 4 basis, which is 15% higher than WTL
Zone 3 or SWL Scale. See ICC Docket 25256, Public Service Com-
mission of Wyoming v. AT&SF et.al. 196 ICC 413; also Docket
27423, Great Falls Traffic Assin. et.al. v. CB&Q RR. Co. et.al.,
226 ICC 467, and 235 ICC 459. As previously stated, the Moun-
tain Pacific livestock scale is only 10% higher than the scale
applicable within Western Trunk Line and Southwestern territories.
This means that the livestock rates in Mountain Pacific territory
are relatively lower than the scale applicable East of the Rocky
Mountains.
(1) (c) Rates Between Mountain Pacific and Great Plains Areas
Interterritorial rates were constructed by adding very small
differentials to the basic scale for the length of haul within
Mountain Pacific territory. This means that such rates reflect
the rates of progression shown in Table XXIII for the haul in the
Great Plains area with slightly higher rates of progression (usu-
54
-
ually one half cent per 100 miles) for haul in Mountain Pacific
territory. To illustrate, between San Francisco and Omaha, the
rate of progression under the prescribed rates for distances over
700 miles reflect rate of progression of only 4 per 100 miles.
This fact coupled with necessity of applying 85% basis on feeder
and stocker animals, also reduction in minimum weight on sheep from
23,000 to 20,000 lbs. for 36 ft, cars, resulted in important re-
duction in carrier revenuc. Examples of such reductions are
shown in Appendices 10 to 12, inclusive.
(2) (a) Eastern District - Decision in Eastern Livestock
Case 1926
-
Livestock rates within CFA originally reflected basis of 5th
class, although there were many exceptions in the way of commodity
rates. The rates effective c'rly in 1914 had been subject to a 5%
increase on October 26 of that year and further increas、s were
brought about by mileage scale prescribed in Fastern Livestock
Case, (36 ICC 675), effective March 20, 1916. This scale of rates
was increased 15% on May 15, 1918 by Supplemental Order in the 15%
Case, 25% subject to a maximum of 7¢ on June 25, 1918 under Gen-
eral Order No. 28, and 40% on August 26, 1920 by authority of the
Commission in Ex Parte 74. On January 1, 1922 the rates were re-
duced 10% under the so-called Farm Products Reduction which was
temporary in nature, expiring June 30, 1922, but, effective July
1, 1922, the 10% reduction was continued in effect under the gen-
eral reduced rate order of the ICC.
Livestock rates in eastern territory were again considered by
the Commission in Docket 16746, Eastern Livestock Case of 1926,
.55
S
decided July 14, 1928, (144 ICC 731), in which scales for appli-
cation within CFA territory were prescribed. This docket was
reopened and a modified decision rendered on July 8, 1930, (165
ICC 277), increasing rates originally prescribed.
Proportional rates on a slightly lower level than the normal
rates were prescribed from Chicago and certain Ohio River Cross-
ings to CFA territory whore traffic originates beyond the gateway
(2) (b) Construction of Eastern Scale
Table XXV shows basic scale on cattle, hogs, D.D., and sheep,
D.D., as prescribed in the 1930 decision for application in Con-
tral Territory. Rates are shown for each 100 mile block, with
rates or progression beyond first 100 miles; also the percent the
livestock rate for each 100 mile block. is of the rate for the
first 100 miles.. Table XXV' also shows that the livestock.rate
for first 100 miles was the equivalent of Column 34 under rates
prescribed in Eastern Class R-te decision. Rates of progression
of Col. 34 rates for longer hauls are indicated by showing per-
cent rates for longer hauls are of Col. 34 rate for first 100 milcs.
This is same test as applied to rates in Western Trunk Line and
Southwestern territory in Table XXIV; however, here the live-
stock rates generally follow rates of progression under class rate
scale,
The Ex Parte 123 case increased livestock rates 5% and class
rates 10% so that present rate on livestock for 100 miles is cqui-
valent of Column 32 rate but the increase did not affect the re-
lationship in longer hauls versus first 100 miles.
The local rate of 53 cents prescribed for application from
56
tie

Chicago to New York vas on basis of Column 35, or Fifth Class.
Present rate is equivalent of Column 333.

(3) (a) Southern District
Also, South to Official Territory
The scale of distance rates prescribed for application with-
in the South and from points in Southern territory to Official
territory in I&S Docket 4779, Livestock to and from the South
was decided August 11, 1942, (253 ICC 241). The decision also
covered formal complaints filed by the State regulatory commissions
of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Caro-
lina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. To a large ex-
tent, complainant's evidence related to economic conditions,
stressing expansion of livestock industry by reason of decreased
cotton acreage.
The decision mentions finding in the Western
Case "that livestock is a commodity which, from its nature, can-
not be expected to do more than ay its own way". This was pro-
ceded by the statement, "The record indicates that there are com-
paratively fow commodities on which the carriers carn less revenue
per car than on livestock".

percent the livestock rates for longer hauls is of the rate for the

Tables XXIV and XXV. It is shown that the livestock rate for
100 miles is the equivalent of Column 25 (9th Class) and that
the rates of progression of the column rates are somewhat great-
er than the progression in livestock rates.

PART C
TRANSIT PRIVILEGES
Because of the nature of the commodity, and the seemingly
complex method of growing, fattening, marketing, and slaughter-
ing livestock, it is perhaps only natural that this commodity
should be accorded more diverse transit privileges than any
other one commodity; and because of the greater supply of live-
stock in western territory, and the importance of the industry.
to the railroads and population in that territory as a whole,
the transit privileges in western territory should be more
varied than in other sections of the country. Livestock
transit privileges may be divided into two types:
(1) The long time fecding and grazing in transit (F.I.T.)
generally for periods of one year;
(2) Short term transit privileges, providing for market
testing, sorting, consolidation, diversion, concentration,
stopping to partly unload, shearing of sheep, and feeding and
finishing for market.
In addition, livestock is accorded certain privileges in
transit due to Federal and State laws governing its transporta-
tion, and these, and other special rules and regulations govern-
ing livestock transportation, will be discussed in Part D of
this section.
(1) Long Time Feed (F.I.T.)
Generally speaking, throughout Western Territory (WTL, SWL
and Mountain-Pacific territories) cattle, calves, hogs, sheep
and goats may be stopped in transit for fecding and grazing for
periods ranging up to twelve months. The stock is delivered out
59
of the possession of the carrier. Provision is also made for
stopping the same shipment of livestock at two different transit
stations, the time limit being twelve months at each point. The
usual charge made for this privilego at intermediate points is
9¢ per one hundred pounds, based on the transit weight. At
points in North Pacific Coast territory, however, the transit
charge is $12.65 per car per stop when the movement is between
North Coast territory and WL territory, and $6.44 pcr car when
the movement is entirely within North Pacific Coast territory.
These charges are in addition to the through rate on fat live-
stock (not feeder or stocker) from origin of the stock to final
destination. Any weight added at the fattening point is charged
at the local carload rate on fat livestock from transit station
to destination.
On the movement into the transit station, charges are gener-
ally assessed on basis of the rate on stocker or fecder livestock;
and because of the low level of these rates, it sometimes happens
that the combination of feeder rate to the transit station, plus
the local fat rate from transit station to destination, results
in a lower charge than the through fat rate from origin to des-
tination, plus the transit chargo. This is particularly true
the nearer the transit station is to the final destination; and
since it is here that the competition from motor trucks is most
severe, some consideration has been given in recent years to re-
ducing the transit charge.
In Southern territory the rules generally are similar to
those applying in western territory. Cattle, calves, sheep and
60
goats may be stopped in transit not more than two times for fattening or .
grazing in transit, The time limit is not less than 30 days nor more than
one year at each transit station, and the charge is 9¢ per 100 lbs. per
stop on the transit weight. The cxcess weight added at the fattening
point is forwarded at the local carload rate on fat livestock from transit
station to destination.
In Eastern territory, cattle, calves, hogs, sheep and goats may bo
stopped in transit for fattening and grazing. The transit charge is
generally 9¢ per 100 lbs. although in Michigan it is $6.93 per car.
The time limit is 14 months on cattle and calves, and nine months on
hogs, sheep and goats. The excess weight added at the transit station,
as is the case in the other territories, is charged t the local carload
rate from transit station to destination.
C
(2) Short Term Transit Privileges
Probably the most universal type of short time transit privilege
is that of testing the market, which usually applies only at designated
public markets. Under this plan, livestock is forwarded to one market
and offered for sale; and subsequently reshipped to another market.
From SL, Mountain-Pacific, and the extreme western part of WTL territory
the stock may be held at western territory transit points for a period not
in excess of ten days, and change of ownership and sorting of the stock
is permitted. There movement is entirely within WTL territory, however,
(with the exception of movements from the extreme western part, men-
tioned above) the time limit is 48 hours and no change of ownership is
permitted at the first market, and the identity of the stock must be
preserved. The rate on fat cattle is applied with no charge for the
stop. In Southern territory, the time limit is 48 hours, and no change
61
2
of ownership is permitted. In Eastern territory, the time limit
is 72-hours, and change of ownership, sorting, and consolidation
may take place, A charge of $6,93 pcr car is made for the stop
in Eastern tcrritory. Charges for switching, feeding, and other
accessorial charges at the first market are not absorbed in any
of the three territorios.
•
In Western territory, sale in transit of fecder or stocker
livestock is permitted under the rate applicable on feeder live-
stock. This is one of the fcv instances where transit is
accorded in "estern territory at other than the rate on fat
livestock. This privilege is available at a large number of des-
ignated points, the list including practically all interior and
primary markets at which feeder livestock might conceivably be
offered for sale. The point to which it is reshipped from the
transit point need not be a public market, and in fact is usually
a country station. The time limit is ten days, and no extra charge
is made for the stop. No accessorial charges at the transit sta-
tion are absorbed.
Because of the dual basis of rates in effect on livestock in
Western territory, carriers have established arrangements whoroby
multiple mixed carload shipments of fecder and fat stock may be
billed to the same point, and classified as to kind. The feeder
rates are then protected on the number of carlonds in the ship-
ment classified as feodor stock, and the fat rate on the number
of cars classified as fat livestock.
In Western territory, at the majority of the railroad oper-
ated feed yards (including some feed yards which are privately
62
owned and operated, and the stock handled for the railroad under
contract, such as the public markets) stock may be held for per-
iods not in excess of ten days on request of owner for fattening.
In addition a number of very elaborate feed yards have been es-
tablished by western carriers near the larger public markets, at
which stock may be held for fattening and finishing for market
for periods ranging up to 180 days. These yards sometimes cover
hundreds of acros, part of which may be devoted to pasture for
stock and part to the growing of corn or other grains for fęcd-
ing at the yard. Then stock' is stopped at these yards for fund,
no extra charge is made for the stop, but the stock may not be
delivered out of possession of the carrier. Charges for feuding,
unloading, reloading, etc., are not absorbed.
(3) Concentration in Transit of Hogs
Carriors in Western territory have established concentration
in transit privileges on hogs. Under their tariffs, hogs may
move from origin to the transit station, there be sorted, consol-
idated, and mixed with other hogs, and move on to destination at
the through rate. Under the transit arrangements, the hogs may
originate at one or more points, move into the transit station
in almost any combination of single and double deck cars, and
be forwarded from the transit station to one or more destinations
in single or double deck cars. A charge of $2.20 pcr car is made
for the stop, as prescribed in the 17000 Part 9 decision, and gen-
erally there are no accessorial services at the transit station
except bodding, Livestock transit is generally accorded only on
a per car basis, but in connection with the concentration in
{
•
transit of hogs, the practice of using part of the weight reprc-
sented by a freight bill covering one car, and the issuance of
tonnage credit slips is permitted. The inclusion of local hogs
(non-transit) is permitted at the transit station.
(4) Stopping to Complete Loading
Stopping livestock to complete loading is permitted in wes-
In Eas-
tern territory, generally at a charge of $2,20 per car.
tern territory stopping to complete loading is permitted at a
charge of $6.93 per car, and in Southern territory at a charge
of $6.44 per car.
(5) Reconsignment and Diversion
Reconsignment and diversion in transit is permitted. Be-
cause of the market testing and sale in transit privileges avail-
able at the markets, the diversion privileges are used in estern
territory principally on sheep, which are billed from origin to
some point without knowing what the actual destination will be.
While enroute, the sheep may be sold and diverted to the purchaser,
much in the same way that fruits and vegetables are diverted while
rolling.
(6) Sherring of Sheep
>
Transit privileges are authorized whereby sheep may be
stopped in transit for shearing. This privilege is generally
taken advantage of at the larger railroad feed yards where exton-
sive facilities for the she‍ring of sheep are available.
PART D SPECIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
1.. 28-36 Hour Law
63
The Federal law governing the transportation of livestock,
64
{
known as the 28-36 hour law, provides that livestock may not be
confined in cars for periods in excess of 28 hours, unless a re-
quest is signed by the shipper, in which case the livestock may
be confined for a period not in excess of 36 hours. The law re-
quires the carriers at the expiration of this time to unload the
livestock for not less than five hours, and arrange for proper
feed and water. If, however, there is roon in the car for stock to
rest, and if feed and water is provided in the car, it is not necess-
ary to unload the stock. It is the general practice for shippers to
sign the request for 36-hour confinement. Not only has this law
necessitated construction by the railroad of pens and yards at
which stock may be stopped to feed in compliance with its pro-
visions, but freight train schedules are adjusted to conform with
the location of the yards and the requirements of the law. Dur-
ing the heavy stock shipping seasons, it is not unusual for thous-
ands of head of stock to be stopped on a singlo day at one such
yard in compliance with the 28-36 hour law. The charge for the
feed, and the charges for unloading, feeding, watering, and re-
loading, are assessed against the shipper, except that on ship-
ments of livestock enroute from or to public markets, the carriers
are prohibited from making any charge against the shipper for un-
loading and reloading, unless the stop is at the request of the
shipper.
The exception in the 28-36 hour low, permitting carriers to
hold the stock on cars without unloading at the end of the speci-
fied period if there is room for the stock to rest, has been in-
terpreted to mean that if there is sufficient room in the car for
65
all the stock to lie down at one time, it is not necessary to
unload for rest. This exception has been taken advantage of in
handling of hogs which move over long distances and in large
quantities, particularly the movement from WTL territory to the
West Coast. In handling such movements, feed is carried in the
car with the hogs, and prior to the expiration of the 36 hour
period, the hogs are unloaded for water (or watered in the car
if the car is equipped with troughs), the fecd is placed in the
car, and the hogs then reloaded. This permits the hogs to con-
tinue moving in through trains, without having to be delayed at
feeding points for handling on a following train.
2. Quarantine Lars
Livestock is subject to contagious and communicable diseascs,
and the States, as well as the Federal Government, have estab-
lished Quarantine laws governing the movement of diseased animals
or the movement of animals from any territory where livestock
diseases exist. Some of the laws require the cleaning and disin-
fecting of cars in which stock is transported. This work is per-
formed usually by the railroads, but a charge to cover the cost is
made by the railroads against the shipper. Also it sometimes
happens that diseased animals are handled in cars or pens before
it is discovered that they are diseased, in which case the cars and
pens must be disinfected, the cost of such work being assessed
against the shipper of the stock as provided in the tariffs. The
carriers have also established certain transit privileges which
permit livestock to be dipped, inspected, and in a few instances
vaccinated in transit. Gener lly a charge of $6.93 per car is
66
"
made for these privileges, and no accessorial charges accruing at
the transit station are absorbed.
3. Furnishing @ars of Different Size than Ordered.
Because of the various types and sizes of cars used for trans-
portation of livestock, it is the general practice to furnish cars
at variance with the shippers order for carrier's convenience,
These rules provide for furnishing of cars of different length
than ordered by shipper, furnishing of single deck cars for double
deck cars, and vice versa, also furnishing two single deck cars in
lieu of one 40 foot single deck car. This of course is done only
when the type or size car ordered by shipper is not available,
rates and minimum weights being based on the size or type ordered.
Specific rules are provided, outlining the number of cars that will
be furnished and the governing conditions.
4. Livestock Chiefly Valuable for Racing, Breeding, etc.
The standard rates provided by carriers for the transportation
of livestock apply only on ordinary livestock, and do not apply on
livestock chiefly valueable for racing, breeding, or show purposes.
Certain basic values are provided for each type of stock, and
standard rates will not apply on stock the value of which exceeds
the amount specified. Provision is made, however, for stock ex-
ceeding the basic value. In such instances an additional charge
is made (generally an increase of two percent in the rate for each
added 50% or fraction thereof in excess of the basic value).
5. Bedding
To safeguard livestock in transportation, bedding is required.
The carriers generally provide by specific tariff publication for
67
the minimum amount of such bedding (usually one-half inch of sand
or two bales of hay per deck). The shipper is required to either
furnish the bedding and place it in the car or to pay the carrier
for so doing. Bedding the car at origin, and also at any inter-
medinte transit point when the car is stopped in transit as a
result of shipper's instructions is done by or at the expense
of shipper. If new bedding is required in transit as a result of
the transfer of the shipment from one ar to another for convenience of
the carrier, however, the carrier must arrange for the aaitionl
· bedding.
6. Loading and Unloading
Loading and unloading of the stock at origin and destination
must be done by the shipper and receiver, except that if the car
originates at or is destined to a public market, the loading an
unloading at the market must be performed by the carrier or his
agent at no charge to the shipper.
7. Aggregate Teicht Rules
Shippers sometimes forward multiple carload shipments of
livestock, part of which may be loaded in excess of the minimum
weight, and others below the minimum weight. The carriers in
Western territory have therefore provided that when two or more
cars of the same species of stock are shipped by one consignor
on one day from the same station to one consignee at one desti-
nation, the aggregate hoof weight of the entire shipment will be
determined, and such weight will then be apportioned equally
among the several cars in the shipment, subject of course to
the aggregate minimum weight for the cars involved.
8. Fill Allowance

these rules, when the stock is unloaded at the market, fed,
and then weighed, a deduction from the gross weight is made de-
pending upon the length of time in transit from the last fecd-
ing station and the species of 'stock involved. Also on ship-
ments forwarded from public markets, where the weight is ob-
tained immediately after feeding the stock, an allowance is made
to take care of the fill.
9. Caretakers, Transportation of
Provision is made for caretakers to accompany shipments of
livestock to see that they are properly fed and watered enroute,
and to arrange for any special services the stock may need.
Western territory, one caretaker is permitted to accompany lots
of from one to ten cars of stock and the caretaker is handled
free, In Eastern and Southern territory, the rules are similar,
but the number of caretakers who may accompany the stock is more
restricted, and sometimes they must pay for their transportation.
In Western territory provision is made for return transportation
of the caretaker from destination of the stock to origin of the
stock over the route used in transporting the shipment. The
returning caretaker is handled free in avail-ble passenger ser-
vice. The return journey must be completed within thirty days
after arrival of the stock at its destination. Return transporta-
tion of caretakers is permitted to a limited extent in Estern
territory.

PART E
TARIFF CHANGES TO COPE WITH MOTOR TRUCK COMPETITION
Motor truck competition on livestock has been most keenly felt in Western
Trunk Line, Southwestern and Southern territories, and to a smaller extent, in
the Pacific Coast areas. Efforts to retain and regain livestock to the rail
lines were made by the carriers serving the West and Southwest.
and the south very few tariff changes were made by reason of motor truck competi-
tion on livestock. Although highway competition is present in Southern terri-
tory the rail carriers in that area have been unable to establish rates which
would effectively meet the competition and at the same time prove profitable.
In a general way, the greatest difficulty experienced by the rail carriers was
the fact that the principal highway competition on livestock represented intra-
state movements, and motor truck carriers engaged in handling livestock in prac-
tically all of the states are not regulated and are not required to file tariff
schedules. On interstate traffic the motor truck operators handling livestock
are not required to file tariffs unless they engage in handling of miscellaneous
commodities from the markets back to the country.
The carriers serving northern Illinois and the western corn belt states
have tried numerous experiments since the early 1930's to make their rates and
service attractive to livestock shippers. Primarily these efforts were directed
toward liberalizing their standard tariff rates and rules. A brief description
of some of these tariff changes is presented below:
1 - Trailer-car Rule: Carriers will furnish extra car to take care of weight
in excess of full carload, and charge the carload rate, but subject to a mini-
mum weight of 50% of standard minimum weight. This rule generally is applicable
throughout the Western district. It has helped in keeping the overflow lots on
In the east
70
the railroads.
2
Application of a sliding scale of rates on livestock de-
pending upon volume of weight loaded in car. This experiment
was not successful.
UME
3
Special commodity rates carrying a minimum weight of
10,000 pounds per car. This experiment was tried in Western
Trunk Line territory and, to a small extent, in North Pacific
Coast territory. The rates now remain effective on intrastate
traffic in a few of the western states.
-
4 Any quantity livestock at standard carload rates under
sailing-day-plan. This was tried by several of the Southwes-
tern carriers but was not received with favor by other estern
carriers.
5 - Straight rate reductions, percentage or otherwise, for
short hauls and for distances ranging up to about 300 miles.
Most of the rates affected were intrastate in character.
is a difference of opinion as between livestock representatives
of Western carricrs as to whether the reduced rates were of
actual benefit in retaining or regaining livestock.
6 - Pickup allowances. This arrangement is effective on four
or five railroads and applies in certain areas in northwestern
Illinois, eastern Iowa and southern "isconsin and on livestock
principally for the Chicago market. An allowance of 3¢ per 100
pounds is made by the carrier to the trucker or to the shipper,
owner or his agent for bringing liv、stock to the rail head.
In 238 ICC 671, decided June 10, 1940, the Interstate Commerco
Commission found the arrangement to be unlawful and required can-

A
cellation of the tariffs. Upon further hearing in decision, 248
ICC 385, the original order was modified and the carriers were di-
rected to restrict their pickup services to lawful terminal cases.
This pickup allowance is made out of freight rates which themselves
were reduced below the standard freight rates in an effort to meet
motor truck competition.
7
Application on any specic of ordinary livestock in a straight
or mixed car, of the lowest carload charges computable on any
specie, whether or not such specie loaded in the shipment.
rule applies in WTL and SWL territory. In general, it provides
that the cattle single-deck rate and single-deck minimum, the hog
single-deck rate and single-deck minimum or the sheep single-deck
rate and single-deck minimu, whichever produces the lowest freight
charges, will be applied on a straight or a mixed carload shipment
of livestock of any species. In effect, this means that on a
straight carload shipment of any specie, the railroad will assess
the rate and minimum weight producing the lowest charges and that
the railroad maintains three standard rates and minimum weights on
each species of ordinary livestock.
8- Granting of return transportation to caretaker on only one
car of livestock. To help in meeting motor truck competition the
western district carriers authorized return transportation of a
caretaker accompanying only onc car of livestock.
9 Transit privileges at markets and interior feud yards under
which feeder and stocker livestock may be sorted, with or with-
out change of ownership, with protection of through rates on
fccder or stocker animals, or on slaughter livestock, as the case

may be. This applies in the western district where the stocker
and feeder rates are 85% of the fat livestock rates. A multi-
ple car shipment of livestock may be stopped in transit and
the animals sorted and the 85% basis of rates applied on the ani-
mals disposed of as stocker or fecder and the 100% basis of rates
applied on the animals disposed of for slaughter.
While a measure of success was experienced in some areas from.
each of these attempts to meet motor truck competition, taken in-
dividually or collectively, they did not solve the problem con-
fronting the carriers. Primarily truck competition is a question
of service on smaller lots of livestock and transportation
charges are of secondary importance.
Some of the railroads serving the western corn belt states
have succeeded in locating order buyers in their stock yards at
strategic points and this action has been the most effective way
of retaining livestock to the rail carriers.

This explains the difficulty which rail carriers experience
in furnishing equipment of the size ordered by shippers. The
minimum weights for 40 ft. cars are greater then for 36 foot cars.
The AT&SF serving the range territory has 7,081 40 ft. single dock
cars and 1,675 double dock cars. The Southern Pacific has no
double deck cars although it originates a considerable volume
of sheep and lambs. The C&NW, CB&Q and Union Pacific predominant
ownership is 36 ft. cars. If the minimum for 36 ft. cars is in-
creased to the minimum weight applicable on 40 ft. cars shippers
will be unwilling to load 36 ft. cars. If the 36 ft. minimum
weights are made applicable on 40 ft. cars a necdless reduction
in revenue will be the result as Table XXVII shows there are
30,196 40 ft. and 22,896 36 ft. cars.

SECTION IV - FRESH MEATS AND PACKING-HOUSE PRODUCTS
A
PART FREIGHT RATE LEVELS
LAN- $2000
The Interstate Commerce Commission has fixed or approved the
rates on the great bulk of the fresh meat and packing-house traffic
moving in territory east of the Rocky Mountains. Exceptions to this
are the commodity rates within hestern Trunk Line Territory also
within Central Freight association Territory.
(1)- Rates to Trunk Line and New England Territories
The base rate noving the large volume of traffic from Chicago
to New York and related Trunk Line and New England restinations is
83 cents. The rate prior to Ex Farte 123 advance was 79 cunts which
was prescribed in I.C.C. Docket 14771, John Morrell & Company, et al
V N.Y.C, R.R. Co.. et al. (104 I.C.C. 104) decided November 3,1925.
This was a reduction of 8 cents under former rate. In tht decision
the Commission fixed rates from slaughtering points in Official Terri-
tory and from Mississippi River crossings on usual percents under or
over the base rate from Chicago, but in a later report rites from
Mississippi River were made 8 cents over Chicago instead of the 117%
basis originally prescribed. The base rate from Mississippi River
crossings is 91 cents.
The Morrell decision also prescribed rates from slaughtering
points west of the Mississippi River to Trunk Line and Now England
territories on basis of lowest combination on Mississippi River or
Chicago.
The Morrell decision also approved rates on cured meats, picked,
from Chicago and Cutral Territory packing-house points to Trunk Line
and New England territories, the general basis being 5th class; and it
→
}
approved combination rates fron points west of the Mississippi River.
Fifth class was also approved on fricd, dry-salted, smoked end pickled
meats, loose, in carloads, from Chicago and from slaughtering points in
Central Territory and fron points west of the Mississippi River to New
England and Trunk Line territories.

Thore has been much litigation caused by shippers contending for al-
plication of lower rates based on corbinations on other than the usually
recognized base points. This involves the use of the intercdiate rate
rule, also the use of unnatural or circuitous ruts fru. or to other than
the recognized base points. appendix 17 shows oxaryles of present rates to
Trunk Line and Now England territories fro: Chic go an St. Louis and from
slaughtering points in Central Territory. Frish nont ratus are corocity
rates which are related to Chicago base rate and class 70-K (3rd class with
5% Ex Parte 123 increasc) is shown for comparison. Rates on F-cking-housc

appendix 19 shows examples of pres nt rates effcctive on June 13,
1946 toTrunk Line and New Engl. territories fror slaughterig points in
Southern territory. The basis was Cl ss 47-M on fresh eats and Class
34-M un packing-house products. Basis of rates between Southern and Of-
ficial territories was prescribed by the Cormission in I.&S. Docket 3234,
Fresh Meats and Packing-H uso iru is to fron and bet cu Fints in
Southern Territory, deciled February 7, 1933,
deciled February 7, 1933, (191, I.C.C. 257). In that
decision the Commissi、n found that 47 percent of first class cu fresh
meats and 35 percent on packing-house products vero ut excessive, but rates
from points in Southern Territory to points in Official and Illir is terri-
torics were fixed on basis of 45 and 31½ percent of first class, respect
ively, on fresh monts and packing-huse products. The June 13, 1946 bases
were Colurns 47-M and 34-M but actually riflccted prescribed rts f 45
and 31 percent of first class increase 5 perc、t under Ex rte 123.
By reason of the reduction in livestock rates from the South tc Of-
ficial Territory in 1942 under I.&S. D chet 4779 (See Sict III of this
report), formal complaints (I.C.C. Dickets 2º514 end 29043) wure filed,
seeking important reductions ir rates n pro'ucts to Erstern Trunk Line
and New England territories. By decision dated March 4, 1946 (· ii cographed)
the Commission prescribed a distance scale designe' to reflect "but the

$
sane average level as are similar rates from the Midwest." The new rates
became effective June 14, 1946 and the following tabulation shows pre-
scribed rates for typical distances:

class and reflect competitive commercial conditions. Normal rates on
packing-house products are class 37½-L reflecting original basis of 5th

Truck-competitive rates are now published from Chico, Indianapolis

from Chicago comprises generally Indiana and that part of Ohio as far east

lished to 27 specifically-named destinations, and intermediate rule is
applicable. The urpose of the reduction ras to meet contract and common
motor carrier charges and to a considerable extent the operations of three
large Chic acers witi. their own trucks. The rates reflect about 26.7
percent of first class and apply on straight or rixed cars, also on mixed
cars with dairy products, canned goods and soap. The rates were not auth-
orized on carcass bccf or ctior hul or part animals shipped suspendel on

The same decisi、n fixed rates fror WesternTrunk Line Turritory to
Southwestern destinations by prescribing arbitrarics to be added to rates
on Tecking-Huse Products from Lansas City or St. Luis. Through rates
on fresh meats were then determined by applying 11 percent to the rates
on packing-house products.
A tos itin and t. Suthern Territory
Appendix 27 shows normal an' truck-competitive erlead rates fr m
slaughtering points in the S. uth to typical destin.tions in the same
rate territory. The normal rates in fresh neats are class 50-M and on
packing-house pro 'ucts class 37-M, exce,t where specific connolity rates
(principally to Oli River ints) are shown. The Appendix shows ex-
amples of truck-competitive carload ratus with 12,000 and 18,000-p、und
81
minima. Here, again, competition was principally from contract carriers and
private-owned trucks.
The normal rates on bases of classes 50-M and 37-M reflect classes 47
and 35 originally approved in I. & S. Docket 3234, explained in connection
with rates from the South to Official Territory.
The same decision approved classes 47 and 35 for application from
Official Territory to the South. The same bases were used in connection with
constructive first-class rates from slaughtering points in Southwestern Ter-
ritory, using the K-2 scale prescribed in Docket 13494; except that very small
arbitraries were added to the constructive through rates because of the haul
to Mississippi River crossings in higher-rated territory.
In addition, the decision fixed specific arbitraries to be added to rates
from St. Louis and upper Mississippi River crossings to construct one-factor
commodity rates from slaughtering points in Western Trunk Line Territory.

ام
The Interstate Commerce Commission has declined to prescribe relation-
ship between rates on livestock and on products but there have been instances
where the Commission reduced rates on livestock and then later reduced rates
on products by reason of increased spread in the respective rates. The most
prominent case in point covers rates on fresh meats and packing-house products
from Western Trunk Line Territory to Trans-Continental and Inter-Mountain des-
tinations. The case referred to is I. C. C. Docket No. 28978 and sub nos. 1 to
10, inclusive, George A. Hermel & Company, et al vs, A.T.& S.F. Ry. Co., et al.
(263 I.C.C. 9) decision dated June 5, 1945.
Appendix 28 shows present and prescribed rates on fresh meat and packing-
house products, and also shows the basic livestock (cattle) rates, the latter
prescribed in I.C.C. Docket 17000-Part 9, and reflecting basis contemplated
under Hoch-Smith Resolution. The reductions ordered by the Commission were
82
.
extremely drastic and the prescribed rates on packing-house products appear
to be based on the 2595 scale (Southwestern) plus a differential of 15 percent
for the portion of the distance in Mountain-Pacific Territory, rates on fresh
meat being 120 percent of the rate on packing-house products.
The fact that the Commission found present rates to be not unreasonable
as late as in 1935 did not deter it from prescribing perhaps the most drastic
reductions in the annals of Commission procedure. Reference to 1935 case
is I.C.C. Docket 23604, St. Louis Independent Packing Company, et al vs. A.T.
& S.F. Ry. Co., et al, 210 I.C.C. 13.
7 Rates Within Pacific Freight Tariff Bureau Territory
Appendix 29 shows carload rates on fresh meats and packing-house products
that move principal volume of traffic within Pacific Freight Tariff Bureau
Territory; and Appendix 30 shows examples of rates on these commodities in
South Coast Territory which have been reduced to meet motor-truck competition,
the normal rates formerly in effect being shown for comparison. Appendix 29
shows some commodity rates from California to North Pacific Coast which were
published to meet water competition.

Rates within North Tacific Coast Territory
Appendix 31 shows rail and truck rates on fresh meat and packing-
house products from Seattle to representative points in Washington,
west and east of the Cascades, Thuro is no established basis for rail
rates on fresh meats and packing-house products in the North Coast ter-
ritory. The original rates recognized commercial competition. It was
neccssary to reduce these rates because of truck competition. The
In 1931
Sorttle-Spokane adjustment will illustrate this development.
the rates between these two points were 78 cents on the fresh meat and
56 cents on the cured packing-house products. By September, 1932, these
rates had been reduced to 51 cents on fresh neat and 36 cents on the
other products. The 36-cont rate, plus the Ex Parte 123 increase, has
continuo, but owing to a further manipulation of truck rates, it was
necessary to reduce the rate on fresh meat to 50 cents,
FREIGHT RATE ANALYSIS
In discussion of I.C.C. ducisions fixing rate levels (Part ▲ of
this Section) it is considered desirable to mention relationships in
rates, Fresh Mets versus racking House relucts on spreads in the rates
on products versus livestock.
In a number of cases the Commission was asked to prescribe relation-
ship between rates on Livestock versus products in various parts of the
country, but such prescription has been avoided.
Table XXVIII is a tubulation reflecting relationships in the rates
on these commodities in the more important rate adjustments in this
country.

The local rates from Missouri River cities to Chicago and St. Louis re-
flect largely the competitive commercial and carrier situation involved in the
movement of livestock (the raw material), versus the products. Before the Ex
Parte 115-123 increase, the Chicago rate was 36 conts, which was also the rate
applicable on cattle and on hogs and sheep in double-deck cars prior to the
readjustment of livestock rates under I.C.C. Docket 17000-iert 9. For many
86
}
years prior to June 25, 1918, the local rate to Chicago was 23 cents, but
certain carriers published lower rates because of contracts with packers.
One contract, lasting from 1902 to 1910, covered traffic from Kansas City
and St. Joseph, followed by others covering traffic from Kansas City. This
was changed by the Director Geliural and on June 25, 1918, the rate from
Missouri River on products and livestock was made 29 cents via all lines.
In 1890, only three years after passage of the Act to Regulate Con-
merce, the Interstate Commerce Commission decided formal complaint of
Chicago Board of Trade v. C.&. (3 I.C.C. 233), attacking rate on live
hogs from .T.L. origins to Chicago versus rates on Packing-House Froducts.
At that time rates from Missouri River cities were 25 cents on hogs and 20
cents on products. (at the same time the rate on both commodities to Missi-
ssippi River points was 15 cents). The Commission found that "it was in-
deed a crushing discrimination" am required defendants to "forthwith cease
an
and desist from the unjust discrimination." Carriers complied with I.C.C.
order on January 1, 1891, by making the rate en live hogs and packing-house
products from Missouri River markets to Chicago 22 cents per 100 pounds.
On December 1, 1894, the rate on cattle, hogs and their products was made
23 cents, which adjustment continued until January 1, 1902, when a prop
ortional rate of 18 cents was established on products destined to points
east of Indiuna-Illinois St to Line. On April 14, 1902, a proportional
rato of 18½ cents was made effective from the Missouri River on livestock,
leaving the local rate 23 cents.
On August, 1902, pursuant to a contract entered into between one
carrier and the packers, rates of 20 cents on products from Kenses City and
St. Joseph, Mo., destined to Chicago and 18 cents destined to points east
of Indiana-Illinois State Line were established. These rates were estab-
The
87
lished by other interested carriers and corresponding rates were made ef-
fective from other Missouri River points. At the same time, rates from
South St. Paul on products were made 15.7 cents to Chicago locally and
14.6 cents when destined east. One railroad followed by reducing its rate
on livestock from Kansas City to Chicago to 12 cents which was effective
for a four-month period.
These rate changes caused filing of complaint by Chicago Live Stuck
Exchange and decision dated January 7, 1905, (10 I.C.C. 428) in which the
Commission found that action of the carriers in reducing the rate on
products without corresponding reductions in livestock rates, was unlawful.
This decision was not upheld by the courts (141 Fe. Rer. 1003 and 209
U.S. 108). Those decisions mention volumincus testimony about relative
costs of handling livestock versus products but Supreme Court decision
apparently was based on the finding that "in fixing their own rates they
(the carriers) may take into account competition with other carriers, pro-
vide only that the competition is genuine and not a pretense."

1 Mixed Carload Rule
The rule authorizing shipment of mixed carloads of Fresh Meats and
Packing House products is of many-years standing. In general it applies
throughout the country and authorizes protection of respective carload
rate on each commodity, subject to minimum charge for 21,000 lbs., at the
Fresh Mont carload rate.
2 List of Articles on which rates apply
In some rate jurisdictions articles on which Fresh Meat and Tacking-
House Products rates apply are published in form of lists. Item 450 of
88
;
W.T.L. Tariff 208-G is typical. Here Fresh Meats with minimum of 21,000
lbs. are in List 1; Salted Munts with minimum of 30,000 lbs., are in List
2; various specified packing-house products with minimum of 30,000 lbs.
are in List 3 and other commodities or products of packing-house oper-
ations such as glue, bristles, lard substitutes, canned meats, etc., are
shown in List 4.
3- Feddler Car Rule
This rule is applicable generally throughout the country and has been
in the tariffs for many years, although the building of hard roads and
improvements in moter trucks has resulted in considerably reduced demand
for this service at the present time. This rule permitted distribution of
LCL moats and packing-house products for consumption in smaller quantities.
LCL rates are charged. The minimun weight is 10,000 lbs., per car; and if
actual weight is less than the minimun, the difference is charged for at the
rate from crigin to the first destination of the car. A minimum charge is
provided, which is the 4th Class rate at 10,000 lbs., from origin to highest
rated point of destination. It is necessary for ship ois to make arrange-
61 t.
ments with carriers prior to shipment.

Storage-in-Transit
Transit privilegos are now published with
principal application in W.T.L., S..L., C.F..., and E.T.L. territories,
which permit storage-in-transit of fresh meats, green salted meats and
packing-house products at designated pints fr m and to specific origin
and destination territories.The extra charges for stopping and reshipping
varies. In Chicago an at transit stations in W.T.L. territory the
charge most generally is $11.00 per car on basis of inbound movement. In
S..L. the prevalent transit charge is 344 per 100 lbs., and in C.F....
(
も
​and E.T.L. territory the extra charge is 16.93 per car which is assessed
against the cutbound car. In most of the essential respects the transit
privileges are similar, authorizing protection of thruugh rate from origin
to final destination applicable via the transit point or rate from crigin
to transit point or transit point to final destination, whichever is
highest. In some cases cut-of-line or back-haul charges are assessed
and in other cases such charges are waived, depending upon connercial cr
competitive conditions reflected in each instance. The time limit is
twelve (12) months. It is not purrissible to surrender inbound freight

beef or pork or mutten for another kind. Extensive use is made of this
transit privilege.

Perishable Protective Tariff No. 14 on "e.st f ice basis," which means
that the shipper specifies the quantity of ice he desires to have, furnished

It is the carriers obligation to provide such service. This differs from

ctables which move on "Stated Charges."

ample, in extreme warm weather throughout a 1,000 mile trip, cars
should be re-ice to full capacity at all regular icing stations. These
stations, depending on schedules, may be spaced from 300 to 600 miles
apart. During the winter period, hon frozen shipments are to encounter
cold, weather throughout the trip, initial icing only will suffice.
icing instructions are usually governed by the ship ers past experience
with the various commodities and by the conditions encountered.
When the meat packing industry was in its infancy and seeking means
of expanding its distribution of products with protection against spoil-
age, Mr. Gustevus Swift of Swift and Company conceived the use of ice to
protect fresh meat when transported long distances. This is the crigin
of the meat packers refrigerator car.
The first refrigerator cars were crudely constructed; they were in-
adequately insulated and could not carry proper quantity of ice. Fron
this beginning, the brine tank refrigerator car was evolved, which util-
ized the cooler temperature created by brine (ice an! salt). Refine-
ments of this method of refrigeration are used in the meat packers ref-
rigerator car of today. Cars are now pre orly insulate, and the ref-
rigeration devices refined so that greater efficiency may be cbtnined.
Ment creducts are usually shipped in three forms; in the carcass
which is suspended from the ceiling of the car by ho ks en meet rails;
packaged ment in barrels, boxes or cartons, loaded on car floors; and
the various products such as sncked, pickled or salted meats, some of
which are also packaged in glass and other types of moisture-proof con-
tainers. The products which are not smoked or otherwise cured, are either

shipped in the fresh state with the animal heat removed under moderate
above-freezing temperatures or in the hard frozen state under intense
refrigeration at temperatures well below the freezing point.
All rent products ar chilled or pre-cocled to remove the animal
heat before loading. Frozen Foducts are held for a period of time to
assure being in a solid frozen state before they are loaded in cars. In
the case of fresh products, mild refrigeration of ice and a small percent-
age of salt in a refrigerator car is adequate. In the case of frozen
products, requiring continuous intense refrigeration, higher percentages
of salt are used with the ice, running as high as 30% salt which is the
saturation point for salt to produce the maximum refrigeration with water-
In any event, where shipments are to be transported under refriger-
ation, either mild, moderate er intense, the empty car is pro-cooled to
the desired temperature.
From an acarance standint, in the case of fresh neat, particularly
carcass meat, it is desirable to provide as dry refrigeration as possible to
prevent destroying the "bloom" on the meat. Exposure of fresh chilled
neat to extreme warm temperatures causes c ndensation to form on the sur-
face, destroying the bloom which cannot be restored.

I
The transportation of LCL perishables by rail represented a substantial
volume of rail traffic prior to 1930 or before the trucks made sericus in-
roads in the handling of this class of trafficį
For example, on one large western railroad, the LCL perishable
freight traffic per year amounted to from 32,000 to 36,000 scheduled line
cars annually! Now it amounts to about 1,200 to 1,800 cars annually. In
the case of neat peddler cars operated by the larger meat packers, that
service has fallen off in like proportion, such traffic now being handled
by trucks, either packer-owned or contracted.
In the case of LCL scheduled refrigerators (Line Cars) operating at
the discretion of carriers to move on certain days via specified routes,
the rail carrier determines the adequacy of protective service such as
icing, ventilation or artificial hoating, whereas in the case of Incker
"Moat Foddler Cors," also operated on certain days via specified routes,
the Packers usually initially ice cars and the carriers perform such re-
icing in transit as the packer specifics.

PART D RTE ADJUSTMENT ON-BUTTERINE AND MARGARINE
In a general way, Butterine and Margarine novement is on basis of
Dairy Product rates as distinguished from rates applicable on Facking
House Products.
In Official Classification Territory, Butterine and Margarine are
classified as Column 65, minimum weight 20,000 lbs. In 1933 in I.C.G.
Docket 16750, the Commission prescribed Class (5 au maximun as included
in the dairy product list but exception rating of Class 50-K was pub
lished in 1935 to meet motor truck competition.
In Western Classification territory the standard carload rating is
3rd class, minimum weight 20,000 lbs., but in Western Trunk Line Territ ry
Class 33 applies on and east of the Missouri River with Class 45 in terri-
tory west therecf. This action taken to combat motor truck competition.
In Southwestern territory Celurn 45 is applicable.
In Southern Classific tin territory the standard carload rating is
Class 60, minimum 20,000 lbs. However, Exception Cl.ss 50-V, minimum
15,000 lbs., is applied.
In Tacific Coast territory special commodity rates are applicable on
same basis as Dairy Fre'ucts. Here, too, normal rates have been reduced
because of truck competition.
Con odity rates from Eastern groups to Trans-Continental destinations
àre also the same as applicable on butter. In April 1933, reduced rates
were established frm Group I origins in Texas and Group J in Colorado to
meet motor truck competition.

2. REASONS FOR CONCLUSIONS
(a) Total commercial production of meat and lard and tonnage available
for transportation in 1947-51, as estimated by the American Meat Institute,
is based on estimated commercial slaughter of meat animals. Total production
in 1947-51 is approximately the same as in 1945. Estimated beef, veal, lamb
and mutton production is lower and pork and lard production is higher than
1945.
It is assumed that the peak of the cattle and calf production cycle was
reached in 1944 and that these numbers will be approximately maintained to
1947, followed by a decline in number of cattle and calves on farms in 1947-51,
(See R.C.S.T., Subcommittee on Economic Study, Cattle and calves, p.93). Com-
mercial slaughter of sheep and lambs is expected to decline. Estimated con-
mercial slaughter of 20 million head in 1947-51 is a revision of the estimate
in R.C.S.T., Subcommittee on Economic Study, Sheep and Lambs, page 132, of
22,250,000 head. The lower estimate is due to continued liquidation of breed-
ing stock.
Increased production of pork and lard is based on estimated increased hog
production in 1947-51. Numerous developments during World War II and condi-
tions affecting agriculture in the postwar period should tend to stimulate hog
production. (See R.C.S.T., Subcommittee on Economic Study, Hogs, p. 143).
S
(b) Distribution of production and originations, by regions, is estimated
by the American Meat Institute.
(c) Average annual consumption of all meats (but not lard) is the same as
production. Meat consumption in the United States closely follows meat pro-
duction. Production and consumption of beef, veal, lamb and mutton have been
approximately in balance. Production of pork exceeded consumption in 1920-39,
but the difference between production and consumption has declined steadily.
Production was only slightly higher than consumption in 1935-39.
99
19327
Domestic consumption of lard is estimated at 88 per cent of production,
based on 1935-39 average. The remainder is estimated to be for export. (See
page 46, R.C.S.T., Subcommittee on Economic Study, Fresh Meats and Packing
House Products).
(d) Consumption and termination, by states, of all reats and lard is based
on percentage distribution of domestic deliveries from commercial slaughterers
to dealers and processors, during the first quarter of 1944. (See page 52,
R.C.S.T., Subcommittee on Economic Study, Fresh Mcats Packing House Products).
COMPARISON OF ESTIMATES OF TONNAGE AVAILABLE FOR MOVELENT BY ALL FORMS OF
TRANSPORTATION IN POST WAR YEARS WITH TONNAGE ORIGINATED BY CLASS I CARRIERS.

The estimated total production of meat and lard in 1947-51 is approximately
the same as in 1945. (See R.C.S.T. Subcommittee on Economic Study, Fresh Meats,
Packing House Products, page 111). Tables XXXV and XXXVI show estimated tonnage
of Live Stock and meats available for movement by all forms of transportation
in the average post war year and comparison is made with tcns criginated and
terminated by Class I carriers in 1945.

Table X cf this report shows that total production of meat in the United
States in 1945 amounted to 11,445,000 tons; cf this arrunt 9,073,000 tons
represented total commercial production and 2,372,000 tons represented local,
retail and farm production. Ordinarily an important percentage of total
commercial production is consumed locally cr in areas tributary to production
and should not be considered as potential rail traffic. (See Table XIX con-
paring railway tonnage with total commercial meat production, 1928-1945).
To show fluctuations in railway traffic compared with production years
1928-1944, Mr. E. S. Hobbs, Statistical Analyst of the Commission's Bureau of
Transport Economics and Statistics issued statement No. 4625 in November 1946.
For railroad traffic tons originated or terminated (whichever cne is greater)
are used. Production figures used are termed "adjusted production." For
cattle, hogs and sheep these represent "shipments, plus farm and local
slaughter;" for Fresh Meats the "adjusted production" is shown to be "Total
edible products of livestock." Below is a comparison between the "adjusted
production" for 1944 and estimates of 1947-51 "tennage available for movement
by all forms of transportation" comparison is also made with total
commercial meat production in 1944.
