 | CHICAGo, June I2.-The three arbi-
 trators. E. B. Thomas Hugh Riddle and
 E, r. VIning, who for the past few days
 have been controlling both sides in the controversy between the Atlantic t Pa cItic and Southern Pacific railway com
 psnies growing out of the trancontinen- tai war, rendered iheir decision this af
 ternOOn. The Atlantic < Pacific com psny terminates at Mojave and fo the past two years there has been a contract between that road and the Southern Pa clic company by which the Atlantic &
 Pacific company was allowed to do San Francisco business, using the hne Of the Southern Pacific from Mojave to that clty. A dispute arose after the dis ruptlOn of the transcOntinental pool Tn February. It wRs over division of the l earnings Oi the through line between the | two companies. The contract govern ing tbIs business was made in 1884 aud | provided thA. the SOa.hern Pacific con- pGny should have for its share of the | through freight and passenger rates its | mileage pro rata of "such through rates | cs may be established from time to time | by any of the through lines competing | for through traffic. When the Trans | continental pool broke up the Atian- | tlc S Pacific company claimed the right | tO meet any Tate wtlcL It's competitors ! might make; tUat the Southern Pacific | company was obliged under the contrHc, tO take its nileHge pro rata of any low rate | that might be made to meet competition | of other lines; this claim the Southern | Pacific refused tO allow, claiming that | the Ooly established rates contemplated | by contract was the one established by | the IranscOntineutRl association. Acting | on this construction of contract, the | Southern Pacific compelled patrons and | customers of the Atlantic and Pacific | company through hne 10 pay old es- tabhshed rates thereby forcing the At iautlc and Pacific company to pay back | to these people the difference between | the cut and the old established rates. | The board of arbitration in their de- | cIsiOn sustained the position of the | Atlantic lS Pacific, holding as follows: | "Crhe clause.) Such through rate as msy be established from ;Ime to time | for any of rhe through traffic" means | anu WAS Intcnded to mean such rate as may have been given, accepted or per mitted by the members of any other through line, IL beiag the decision of | the arbitratGrs that tue Atlantic and Pacific O., has 1ght to make any rate that may be given, accepted or per mIt!ed by members Ofany other through line, and such rates arc to be divided between the Southern Pacific O., and the Atlantic and Pacific O., upon Kan sas City and San Francisco mileage as provided m the contract. The decision makes It necessary to have an account ing between tt0 two companies to ascer- tain the amount Co be paid by the Southern Pacific to the Atlantic and Pacific Co, on through business since the distribution of the pool. The Atlau- tic and Pacific Co, was backed m this dispute by the Atchison, Topeka * Santa Fe, and St. Louis and San Fran cisco companies, who are joint owners of the line. The arbitration attracted unusual attention BmOIg railroad men because it was believed the settlement of this question will aid m a final ad- iustment of the TrauscOntinentsl difIi- culties.
