ALTON MAKES TROUBLE.

Western Roads Are Troubled in
Consequence of the Boycott.
+ CHICAGO, April %. The Western
roads are confronted with fresh prob
lens almost every day as consequence
of the boycott against the Chicago q
Alton. The latest snag encountered in
their efforts to keep intact the agree
ment of the Western Passenger associa-
ton is refusal on the part of the Alton
to the making of special rates on the
certificate plan to future meetings and
conventions at points in the territory of
the Central Traffic or Trunk Line as
rate of fare and a third
for the round trip on the
occasion of any large gathering, pas
sengers to be furnished with certificates
for the return trip. General Passenger
Agent Charlton has notified Chairman
Finley that the Alton will only agree to
such reduced rates, while the boycott
against that road is in effect, Oh condi-
ton that there shall be no interchange
of certificates between the Eastern and
Western lines, and that the reduction
shall apply only to and from association
gateways, compelling the use of indi-
vidual certificates. Any other course,
Mf. Charlton says, would not give his
company that equality in COM
petition with the other lines
in the Western Passenger asso-
citation which the agreement intends
it should have, as the Eastern reads
have refused to exchange business with
the Alton. He will vote in favor of the
special rates, provided the certificates of
the Central Traffic and Trunk Line
associations shall not be hOnOred by the
Western lines, and the certificates of
the Western Passenger association shall
not be hOnOred by Eastern connections.
Chairman Finley has called a special
consider the matter, not being willing
to decide it himself, as it involves
suspension of one of the rules of the as
ISOLATION. The Western roads are placed
in dilemma by this declaration from
the Alton. They either lend that COM
pany their aid by accedlng to its de-
mand, OF accept the inevitable conse-
quence of q big reduction in rates by the
Alton from Kansas City to st. Louis
and Chicago. Advices received at the
Alton headquarters to-day are to the eff
feet that the Boston & Albany will
probably withdrawn its circular by which
its agents were Instructed to diScon-
tinue the sale of Alton tickets. 1t is
also said that the Big Four has expert
enced change of heart and will resume
friendly relations with the Alton within
a week. The officials of the latter road
insist that their through passenger
business has materially increased in
volume since the boycott went into eff
| feet.

The Canadian Pacific people par
ticipated in the conference held
in New York March 10, and agreed to
the S1.2O scale from New York to st.
Paul, against $3.50 by way of Chicago.
No trouble had been looked for from
that quarter. The other roads had all
issued their tariffs on the agreed basis,
which went into effect April 10. The
Canadian Pacitic'S reduced rates apply
on rail business, and are lower than the
agreed lake and rail rate by way of Chi
cago, which is on basis of Sill New
York to st. Paul. The lines operating
between Chicago and St. Paul will now
be compelled to choose between the two
alternatives of meeting the Canadian
Pacifc's action and abandoning the
through business from the seaboard TO
Northwestern points.
