RAILROAD CONFERENCES IN BALTIMORE A
conference of prominent railroad of 5a,s was
held in Baltimore Yesterday. Among those
present were President John W. Garrett aud
Vice President King, Uf the Baltimore and
Ohio; Commodore Vanderbilt and son, William
X. Vanderbilt, president and vice president Of
the New York Central; President Jswstt and
Vice President Blanchard, of the Erie road;

Rutter, general freight agent of the New York
Central. The proposal of the Baltimore and
Ohio road 10 become party TO the Saratoga
contract declined, bat that road, in con-
junction with the Others, agreed TO abolish ali
commissions on tickets and drawbacks on
ffeigbts. 1t vas indicated that the Baltimore
ana Ohio would pursue, as heretofore. a con
servatiy5 policy regarding transportation. and
cooperate with ether lines in all legitimate
measures OF economy. Il was urged hy the
Baltimore and Ohio management that the iTSt
step IN the direction OF complete reform was 10
abolish the fast freight lines nov in use on tde
Northern Trunk lines, viz: Pennsylvania, Erie.
and New York Central. It was claimed that
under this system Independent Organizations
are enabled TO clear large profits which by right
belong 20 railroad companies, and which, if
obtained by the latter, would enable them to
maintain always reasonable tariffs. The Off
cidis OF the Trunk lines named expressed them
selves desiroUs Of the aOD shment OF fast ffeight
lines, but said the condition of affairs at pes Mt
would not Justify If.
