The Big Leak in railroad Earnings.

A railroad official of prominence says there is
no question that the giving of one thousand mile
tickets to shippers to court their business is a
great outrage upon roads which will resort to no
evil methods to secure business. There is
greater outrage and bigger leak on railroad
earnings than that, however, which is known as
undertaking, or billing a car out less than act
ual weight, which is now being carried on to
ruinous extent The official then pointed to
loaded car which swagged down in the middle
with the heavy weig hit, which was billed
out at "a 900 pounds minimum weight, when
there were 0,200 pounds in the car In this
case the road hauled 49, 200 pounds several hun
dred miles with no compensation.
The official then cited several cases which
have been brought to light of late where cars
were billed out at 1000 to 1900 pounds below
the actual weight of property carried In an
swer to the question why is not such work stop
ped, the official said ''Railroadng has come to be
something like politics at indianapolis; cows and
hogs have run loose in our streets, thousands of
dogs 60 unlicensed because councilman is
afraid to suggest reform in the matter. His
doom would be sealed; he never could secure an
other office. So with railroad men, An at
tempt was made few months ago to establish
scales for weighing all cars before they were
forwarded or when received, and within twenty
four hours after an agent introduced the resolu..
ton looking to such end, it was in the mouth of
every supper tHdt agent 50 anu So lutrouuCou
resolution to weigh all cars each road to put in
scales. and for some weeks used as an argument
that Mr.. -, agent of the - road, favored
the weighing of all cars; consequently he should
be stepped on by the shippers and thus punished
for attempting to benefit every road centering at
indianapolis. Since that time underbiliing has
been carried on more recklessly than ever, until
it is now estimated that 80 per cent of certain
classes of freight handled, such as grain, lum-
Der, stave timber and provisions are handled
without yielding one cent revenue to the railroad
companies. The underbilling is carried on upon
west, south and north-bound as well as upon
st-bound business

The indianapolis East-Bound Pool.

Commissioner Doherty, of the indianapolis
east-bound pool yesterday morning called the
freight agents of the seven roads together and
informed them that Commissioner Fink, by
order of the executive committee Of the trunk
lines, had lowered the rate on grain from %
cents per 100 pounds to 10 cents, basis of Chi
cago to New York and the rate on provisions
was reduced to 20 cents. This makes the
indianapolis rate IA cents to New York, 10 cents
to Philadelphia, and IL cents to Baltimore, while
the provision rate is 49, cents to New York
One of the roads suggested that in place of max.
ing a reduction in rates, property should be
billed only at % cents per 100 pounds and re-
bate of cents be given. This was voted down
by large majority. The present is a good time
