california.
CHICAGO, June l0.-The Board Of Ar
bitration to settle the serious dispute
between the Atchison, Topeka and San
ia Fe railroad and the Southern Pacific
railroad met here to-day. E. P. Thorn
as, of the Richmond and Danville,
Hugh Riddle, ex-President Of the Rock
Island, and E. P. vining, Commissioner
Of the Western Trunk Line Association,
composed the Board The dispute
hinges upon the Interpretation of the
phrase established rates" in an agree
ment made between the lines regarding
the haul over the Southern Pacific from
Mojave to San Francisco. The Atchi-
son and Atlantic and Pacific agreed to
pay certain proportion of their through
established rates both on passenger and
freight traffic to the Southern Pacific
for the use Of the latter's track between
the two cities referred to. When the
warfare on California business broke
out the Atchison insisted that any war
rate made by all of the lines was an
Established rate. . To this the South
ern Pacific objected, as forcing 1t to
haul freight for its most active compet-
itors at figures that were in some in
stances less than transfer charges across
to San Francisco. In reply the Atchi-
sou claimed that to abide by the peace
tariff would be equivalent to allowing
the Southern Pacific to make what rates
1t pleased, and take all of the business.
The representatives OF the two roads
are present to-day for the purpose of
verbally adding such additional infor-
nation to the written arguments as the
arbitrators might require. General Pas
senger Agent Goodmin aud Traffic Man
ager Stubs of the Southern Pacific, and
q. w. Smith, Traffic Manager and Vice.
President OF the s. F., and some of the

sions were held, morning and evening
A decision will be made in few days.
