BLAMING THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL

THE WESTERN PASSENGER ASSOCIATION TO BE
DISSOLVED.
chicaco Dec 1s CSpeciaD.-By unanimous vote OF
all the lines represented the Western States Passenger
Association will be dissolved on December ol' III
accordance with the understanding at tne ast ADJOURN
ment the general managers Of all except TWO Vi .e
lines met this morning TO consider the lape Oh u'o
association The Burlington and Northern ana hihne'
apols and ST. Louis sometime ago tried 10 "ithdra"
their membership In the association pue "ero pio
vented bv the agreement which specified that no line
could withdraw until January 81, 1880 Inc reason
for the withdrawal Of these two roads was FUZZY eN-
nlaIned bv the charge that the Northwestern ana
Wisconsin Central were daily breaking the agreement
NV refusing to hand in all their secret cohtra'is 10
the association the Northwestern secret contract Oehg
with land agents, and that OF tine WISCONSIN NoiiV,a'
being with the Northern Pacific. 1t was maniestV
mpossibe TO preserve the association OF the Durie
ton and Northern and the Mhi'eapon'
and st. Louis. The latter favoring the
Rock Island connection TO 81. Paui' "i'n
drew their membership. 1t was consequently hoped
and expected that both the Northwestern and WIS
consin Central would acknowledge the binding efcct
of the agreement show their contracts and thus smoo
matters over Much to the surprise OF the genera
managers however, the Wisconsin central ho1 Only
refused to show It's contracts but demanded OH pam

so amended as to allow Of the withdrawal OF any inc
on sixty days notice, and that 1t should receive
dGerential rates all business Any one oi '.Yse
conditions would have met with REFUSAL but when
the three were added its refusal 10 show It's secret
contracts there was nothing for the general managers
to do but break up the association. The Whole blame
of the dissolution laid the Wisconsin central
its demands being declared preposterouS ana Ill. IN
compatible with the proper maintenance OF rates.
To be legal the Milwaukee,, Lake Shore ana western
and the Sioux City and Pacific must vote IN INC tie
affirmative to dissolve the association but their vote
is confidently expected by tomorrow. The western
and Southwestern lines fully recognizing the fact ta
rates cannot be maintained without an ASSOCIATION,
have already agreed to meet tomorrow and attempt
TO build up association out Of the wreck OF the
old. There IS every chance that this attempt VIII
succeed but it must be entirely independent OF the
Interstate Commerce Railway Association, so that the
Alton may join II. The Alton, however, would not
be necessary to the association, all the other
lines are confident that the Alton will maintain tariff
rates as long the other lines.

At a conference Of the Joint Passenger Committee
representing the trunk lines. the Central Irc' .e

portant questions which have been causing friction

among the railroads, but works measure oi justice

presided and representatives of about twenty-five
railways were present.
The tonic under discussion was the demand OF the
dincrental rate lines that the existing differences In
possenger tariffs be made bash e. rates. Under the
existing system the travel which originates west OF

west by Chicago and St. Louis. does not derive the
benefit of the dcrental rates prevailing In that ter
ritory The passenger leaving Chicago OF ST. Louis
for the East can, II lie chooses travel at less cost II
he takes the Erie the Baltimore and ONO. or any OF
the roads TO which are granted dIerental or lower
rates than IL he should select the Pennsylvania or
the New-York Central route. The passenger from
Kansas City or omaha similar points has been COM
uccd 10 pay the same fare east Of Chicago and st.
Louis on all roads. The principle OF the di1ercntlal
iatc was applied for the purpose of securing an equ
oble share of business to those lines which are not
