WESTERN FREIGHTS.

conference of the representatives Of the trunk
alway lines will be held this morning on the subject
OF equalizing the winter tariff freights from New
York, Boston and Philadelphia to the grand disribut
ing cities Of Illinois, Ohio and Missouri At present
the Erie, New York Central and Pennsylvania roads
have the same nominal tariff
1t is understood that the main points to be debated
are contained in the proposition OF the Vermont Central
Railroad That company takes its freight from New
York to the West via New Haven, Hartford, ST. Albans
ogdensburg, the Great Western Railway through
Canada to Detroit, and by the Michigan Central Chi
cago a'line which involves miles OF carriage than
by the Erie New York Central OF Pennsylvania roads
The Vermont Company claims that there should be an
equitable adjustment OF the freight tariff 10 compensate it
for the extra expense Of its longer route 1t stated
last evening that the Vermont line asks that on the
basis of the schedule rates adopted by the New York
and PENNSYLVANIA lnes,-thiry cents per 100 pounds
on first class freight dry goods &c. from New York TO
Chcago-they should be allowed 10 charge on the fine
classes ten cents eight cents six cents four and
two cents per 100 pounds less account of the longer
time necessarily taken to transport freight by its route
Should the Conference not agree this proposition,
and should the New York Central obtain control of the
Michigan Central Railroad, thus cutting of the direct
connection of the Vermont Central and the
Canada Great Western between Detroit and Chicago,
II mooted whether 1t would be the policy Of the two
roads SO cut of to obtain Independent line by
running their freight from St. Thomas on the Great
Western, via Kemoka, to Port Huron Mich, and
expense OF about $500 600 complete the road already
graded between Port Huron and Grand Rapids thence
by Holland, and the Lake Shore Michigan Southern
Chicago. This, II is claimed, could be done in a few
months, even in the winter.
In connection with this subject an important meet
ing OF the Cheap Transportation Association will be
held to-day at two NJ at its rooms Ito Pearl street.
This association intends to show that II is not antag
onistc to the railways; does not want them make
rates lower than fair compensation for their work
but does intend to obtain for the merchants Of New
York and the West fair pro rata freight with other
cities.
