I week or two ago, certain General Freight
Agent left tho room as soon ~ 1ie Ind signed his
name to at agreement that rates should be
90 cents, and mot somo shippers, NTH

tracts ut 40 cents. OF course the work OF that
meeting did not amount to anything AZ the
other agents, rs soon a. they found out
what tloir confrere had done. went aud did Ike
wise. The reputation OF St. Loula was sudorlng
severely from the distrust with which isa freight
agents were looked upon abroad. To say This
Is st, Louis Discrimination, meant tho worst
kind If "cut" from tho regular ta1in rates.
Finally, st. Louis ilaa become sick Of this state
Of affairs, md brought considerable nfesaure to
