SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REcoRp-UNIoEl
CALIFORNIA.
The Freight Rate War.
SAN Francisco. March 11th-The freight
rate war continues and some of the cutting
is now being done on caSt-bouud freight.
From interviews had with other railroad
men, and allowing for exaggeration, it
seems that general decentralization in
freight rates both cast and west exist. and
that the cut ON eaSt-houud freight is As
high rs 20 per cent. The acting Commits
sioner of the Transcontinenyal Pool is bus
lily engaged III putting together the threads
of the reports about the cuts and the mat
ter Will be inquired into very shortly toy
the Association. the Executive Committee
of which it is expected will meet in this
city at an early date Yesterday il was
openly rumored, and proof was offered
that one OF the lines had made several
contracts with merchants to deliver
freight here from the East. no particular
point being mentioned, for i24 per cent.
less than ihc Transcontincntal tariff ON
Sc goods On east-bound truck " the cut
of 20 per cent. is being made on wool,
canned fruits. barley, wine, etc, and the
heavy. This war Of rates is objected to by
many OF the merchants. who torcSee in the
cut heavy losses. To explain When the
cut was inaug'rated, about two weeks ago
several large merchants entered /. 20 4 con-
tract with the Sunset line 10 take some
twenty carloads of freight at u rebate of 10
per cent. The other roads hearing OF the
cut, jumped in, and the result is that the
cut on weSt-bound freight is now. as stated
42i per cent and even better figures are
reported The effect is that the merchants
who came in on the big cut made after the
contract mentioned, will be able to sell
much cheaper, and in consequence the
merchants who inauguratcd the cut, as
well as the road that made the contract
will suffer. The fight among the freight
men has gone considerably further than
intended, and the agents are, according to
their own stories trying to patch up the
differences and restore the rates. This a
well informed railroad man stated to re-
porter could not be accomplished outside
Of two weeks. even if il can be done within
that time The opinion Of many is that it
Will be impossible to bridge over the
troubles unless a new TranScOntinental
Association is formed, and new agree
ment made. In this connection. it i
limited that n meeting of the managers of
all the roads will bc held shortly, and a
new compact to maintain rates will be en-
tered into. This cannot be done inside of
Il month, and in the meantime il is cx-
pected that both cast and wcst-bOund
freights will be taken for almost nothing.
