Meeting of the Joint Executive Pas

L.incs---Aileged Rate Cutting, Etc.

New YORK, July 27-The joint exec
utive committee Of the passenger depart
ment of the trunk lines met again
in Commissioner Fink's Office, to consider the
claim made by the Lake Erie & Western
road for money reimbursement for losses
sustained 10y that road in main
tanning its rates under the rule
established at the recent Chi
cage meeting, under the penalty of
being excluded from participation in the
through west-bound business Of the trunk
lines. The Lake Erie g. Western was thus
prevented from meeting the reduced rates OF
its various competitors who are not mem
beIs of the pool and did not therefore
come under the rule, and in consequence
lost large amount of bust
ness that it is claimed legitimately belonged
to it. 1t was finally decided after heated
discussion that the Lake Erie 81 Western
should file its claim, and that it should receive
proper consideration. Complaints were
made against the Pittsburg, Fl Wayne
& Chicago, and the New York
Pennsylvania & Ohio roads that they were
cutting rates, in violation of the Chicago
rule. The first-named road gave a satisfac
tory explanation to the committee, and the
charge was dismissed, The case of the lat
ter is still under consideration.

can help swimming, if he is able, just as

opinion of an old sailor, who adds: How
many times we hear of folks changing

and of course there's lots who never let
on what they meant to do. When you
hear Of a suicider weighing himself with
