the question Of the rates Of freight came up,
tnS Southern lines were very willing 10 allow
reduction on Westward-bound freights TO
Chicago, but bitterly opposed @ reduction on
the Cincinnati rate. Mr.. Garrett, Of the Balh-
more and Ohio, was particularly tenacious on
this point. The Cleveland, Columbus & Gin
cinnati Railroad delegate was called in TO speak
for that road and It's connections, and finding
il TO be the determination of that road to have
all tho leading Western points treated alike,
Dean Richmond announced the resolve of the N. |
y. Central to stand by its Western connections.
Ultimately the Northern and Western lines
carried their point, and tariff on Western
bound freights was adopted, reducing rates |
from New York to Cleveland ~ cents on first
class, 10 cents on second and third classes, and
to 5 cents on fourth and fifth classes. Rates |
from New York to Chicago are reduced Is cents
on first and second classes, and 10 cents on all
others; to Cincinnati there is o reduction Of
cents all round, and TO intermediate points in !
proportion. These rates take effect March 1st
and continue to March 10th. 1.f
Freight agents may be placed at any point
and be paid by salary or commissions, as their
employers may sec ft.
The next meeting Of the lines will be held
On the 10th, when the summer rates will be
fixed. ts,...T.
