was it necessary to import new secretary

OF the commissioners is reported to have made

The signing Of the Peoria pooling agreement by
the Rock Island road makes the arrangements
complete for the regulation Of trunk line tratho
between tho East and the West, II the Eastern and
Western lines agree to division OF labor. Ihe
Western lines deny the right Of the Eastern to hx
rates on east bound traffic as they have hitherto
usually done, and assert that the Eastern roads
ought to conne their exercise Of power to the con-
troll Of west-bound rates But the .east-bound
freight Is several times as important as the vest
bound. and it is because Of difficulty In regard 70
that branch OF the business that nearly all the de-
structive wars In the past have arisen. Whether
the Eastern trunk lines will consent to surrender
the entire control, which tho Western lines claim,
is doubtful. But there Is no reason to doubt that
some agreement will ultimately be reached to pre-.
vent unrestrained competition so far as the pool
ing roads have the power to prevent it.
Our Commissioner of Public Works hattered him
self, the other day, that he knew no was right.

would be much more earnestly enlisted in their
behalf in the present struggle with the Knights
of Labor who are striving to break up the Pro-
gressive Union. But they have frequently
struck without reason, and so injured the busi-
ness Of the employers that the latter naturally
sympathizc with the Knights who have con-
sented to arbitrate many differences. Never
