GOULD'S AK Is FALLING.
Soliciting and Contracting Freight gents
Give Place to Commissioners.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says that the
contracting agent of the Union Pacific railroad
in that city has received a letter from the gen.
eral freight agent, instrueting him to close UP
his Office on December 81 and report in New
York for duty. Instead of each Western road
having q separate force of soliciting agents in
each Eastern city, there will be one commits
sioner in Chicago, with subcommission in
each Eastern city, and all wess-bound freight
will be forwarded by whatever line the sub-com-
missioner may designate. The freight will be
equitably divided among the roads, and thus so
nciting freight agents win be dispensed with.
A local railroad man, speaking of this new
system TO observation-disclosures reporter, said:
"This change viii throw large number of So
uciting and contracting freight agents out OF
employment, for il will be unnecessary TO So
licit freight. There will be only one freight
Office in each city, and the uptown Offices will
probably be abolished. In Seattle, for instance,
there win be joint freight ONCE at one of the
depots, to which the shippers wiz have TO go.
1t will be less convenient for the shipper, be-
cause he will have to go TO the office to find out
Rates and viii have to send his goods by any
road the sub-commissioner designates. The
power OF settling claims for overcharges, loss
and damage, which has been in the hands
of the contracting freight agents, will
probably be given to the commissioner and the
result win be delay OF three or four months in
settlement There is not soliciting or con-
tracing freight agent who considers his position
worth thirty days purchase after December 81.
There win be 20 difficulty about their getting new
positions, for there is no railroad man who has
not two or three departments at his fingers ends,
and If he has done good work in one department
he is likely TO do as well in another. Then there
are new roads under construction all the time,
and they viii furnish positions for the idle
