Tho Var on Easf- Eomnd Passenger Ra;es.
[Chicago Tribune.
No open hostilities between the eastern
railroads regarding east-bound passenger
rates have not been commenced, but the sit
uation is becoming so serious that a general
drop in rates may be looked for at any mo-
ment. The scalpers were reported to be sell
Ing tickets to New York Tuesday over the
Grand Trunk and Western for $l2. which is
$3.50 less than the rates heretofore charged.
1t was also stated that the West Shore is again
selling round trip tickets between New York
and Chicago for sci. At the regular offices
Of the Grand Trunk the same rates as before
are being charged, and the company's officials
state that they have not authorized any
further reduction in rates. All the other
roads are sleeping on their arms" waiting
for the Grand Trunk to commence the at
tack. tits not likely that any decisive steps
will be taken before next Monday.
Something will have to be done by
that time, as the differential rate
agreement will go out of existence Jan. l,
and each road can then charge whatever rates
it chooses. 1t is quite probable that some
of the roads, instead Of making differential
rate, will try to get even 10y paying higher
com missions, and meet whatever rates are
made by competing roads. Some trouble is
also likely to arise on account of the Grand
Trunks withdrawal from the Chicago asso-
citation and its refusal to sign the rate sheet.
The question will arise whether the western
roads can recognize an independent rate
sheet of the Grand Trunk.
