It is charged that the Boston. roads
have been billing California freight to
| Chicago at western rates, instead Of at
| the full agreed proportion of the Cali
fornia rate, and that such freight is re-
billed here as coming from the east at
the proportion of the California rate,
thus effecting a reduction in the tariff
on first-class freight amounting to the
difference between go cents and S1.32
per hundred pounds, which difference
is used as rebate. This operates to
the disadvantage of the Southern Paci-
fic lines, and they threaten to adopt the
same system of billing via st. Louis
and other points. Commissioner Fink,
to avert war, calls on the guilty roads
to discontinue the practice at once, as
it is in violation of existing agree
ments.
