RATE-CUTTING.
A Proposition to Reduce Rates to Stop the
Cutting of Rates.

A Proposition to Reduce Rates to Stop the
Cutting of Rates.
The meeting of the presidents of the trunk
lines and the executive committee, called for
Sept 6, Is looked forward to with good deal of
interest, and it is possible that a reduction in
east-bound rates will be agreed upon
AT least the Lake Shore and Decline people have
suggested that, rs plan to healover,the present
troubles between what would be termed trunk
lines. On Wednesday last Mr. Fink was con-
fronted with demand, said TO have been made
by the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & In.
dianapolis road, for formal lowering of rates.
Under the pool agreements this privilege is ac-
corded to any road that is satisfied that its COM
petitors are not maintaining rates. The
Bee-Ine people insist that rates are
being cut by their competitors, and
claim to have ample proof tn at such is the case.
The Decline people say that frequent meetings
have been held since last winter to devise
methods for the maintenance of rates. At no
meeting has this object been accomplished. 1t
was agreed, however, that any Western road
which should offend should be cut off from
through facilities over the trunk lines. This
penalty has been enforced only twice, each time
against a small Western road Yet friends of
the New York Central have pointed to the fact
that throughout the summer the receipts of grain
and provisions at New York by the Erie were
heavily in excess or those by the Central as
PROOF that the Erie or it's Western allies con-
tinued to offend. Within the last month The
east-bOuAd business originating in the South
west has come almost entirely by the Erie to the
East. Cutting from St. Louis, Peoria and In
dianapOlis is especially complained of. Erie
while hundreds OF cars of the New York Central s
line are lying idle on the side tracks. Not only
is 1t charged that the Erie is cutting rates, but
the Pennsylvania and Grand Trunk are brought
in as well.
