modify it so as to apply to the Western and
Southwestern freight associations keeping the
three separate. and then to provide an adjusting
board before which should come all questions
affecting common interests The prevailing
opinion TO night is that report viii be reached

there Is but little hope for peace Or restoration
of rates before the first OF Nav.

out the agreement between Eastern and West
roads which prohibits false billing, false clas
sification, and other tricks and devices, met to-
day and decided to hang up the agreement and
suspend the joint auditor and his working force

rate war would allow the agreement to be
forced. A prominent officer of the Minnesota 81

shortly force the fighting among competitors by
cutting passenger rates between Chicago, St.

still further complcate matters between the

Company and the Lake Shore g. Michigan
Southern Railway Company fled their answer
in the federal court yesterday to the bill of the
Pullman Palace-car Company, which seeks to
restrain an alleged infringement by the Wag-
ner company of the vestlbule train. The de-
PENDANTS deny that Sessions the first and
original inventor of the device as claimed by
the Pullmaus; but, on the contrary, il is claimed
that there were sixteen English and eighteen
United States patents containing the material
parts of the Sessions invention. The invention
had been known and used long before by the
Michigan Central the Chicago. burlington %
Quincy, and the Lake Shore IL Michigan South
srn roads. The Sessions patent is also alleged
to be useless, and it is claimed that the descrip-

able any one to construct and use it, the util-
ity of the Sessions patent is controverted, and
it's alleged value in collisions is said to be
myth.
