Important Railway COnference-DiRer-
ences Between Eastern and
Western Roads

NEW YORK, June t1.--An important raal-
way conference Is to be held at the New Wind
sor Hotel. All the leading trunk lines, en-
Guiding Erie, New York Central PenrsylVa-
mia and the Baltimore and Ohio, will be rep
resented, and there will be representatives
present from the leading Western roads also
The conference has been called to receive the
first report OF the recently appointed COM
missioner OF Western railways, A. N. Gull
ford, of Chicago.
The Office, 1t will be remembered, was Gre
ated three months ago for the purpose of de-
terminlng and maintaining equal and uniform
rates OF freight from competitive points In the
West to the seaboard. 1t is understood, on
the very best authority, that Commissioner
Guilford will report to the conference that he
has failed to accomplish the object for which
the Office was created, and for which he re-
celves a salary OF $4,000 year.
Several Western roads, he will explain, first
violated the compact, and although ne made
protect the interest of those companies who
had maintained the tariff until rival roads
began cutting. The office has enabled the
leading lines to be acquainted thoroughly
with all statistical information in relation to
freight movements that could possibly be of
interest or value to them.
There Is every probability that steps will
be taken by the conference to invest the COM
missioner with such authority as will enable
him to compel the Western companies to
comply with the compact, and prevent any
Importance to the trunk roads, and there is
every indication that q united effort will be
made to clothe the commissioner with au-
thortty to carry into effect the objects de-
signed to be accomplished when the Office was
created.
