The Western Freight association
Considers Important Matters

Considers Important Matters
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-FSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. The Western Freight associa-
tion to-day had two important matters under
consideration-one the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis road for reduction on
the grain rate from Kansas City to New Or
leans. The application was promptly denied
by the association, and notice was immedi-
ately given that the rate would be made IN
ten days at any event. This action will
throw the whole scheme of gram rates out
of gear, there being no possible chance to
change the Kansas City or st. Louis south
bound rates without friction. The ST Louis
east-oound lines threaten vengeance, and
already 4 meeting has been called to con-
slider tho matter. 1t is possible that
rate war will ensue. The st. Louis
east bound lines would have the
advantage in the fight except that the South.
ern Pacific with its line of steamers to New
York, is undoubtedly behind the Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Memphis. Interesting
developments may be looked for unless the
St. Louis lines conclude there will be enough
business for all and yield the point for the
time being.
The ques tion of the relative difference be-
tween rates on packing house products and
live hogs is one in which every road in the
country is interested. After a full considera-
ton by the Interstate commerce commission
the matter has not yet been decided Small
wonder, then, that when the matter came up
in the Western Freight association TO day it
was deemed best TO make no change at pres
ent. The question originated in the suits
brought by Squire, of Boston, against east
ern roads, charging discrimination in that
the rates were higher ON live hogs than on
other dressed products.
The. general managers of the Interstate
Commerce Railway association met to-day
nTnhr rf.alE n N min tn fhattN
none being of special interest Every one is
waiting for the decision of the presidents of
the association in tomorrow mornings meet
ing on the question of Canadian competition
in northwestern business. "rhe whole
thing,n said prominent freight agent to-day,
has been series of delays to avoid the in.
evitnble. We must give up all our north
western through business to the Canadian
lines or fight for it at low rates. The Bur
lington ~ Northern is determined to fight.
Some of us are on the fence, and some would
sooner 20 out of the business. 1t looks as
though the Burlington & Northern will force
us into il,
