HIGHER RATES OUT VEST.
Ciacinuati No Longer on the Same Basis
AS Chicago for Pacific Coast Business.

The Western roads have accomplished all
they have been contendinG for In the matter
OF passenger rates from Central Traffic Assoc
citation points to the Pacific coast. For two
years the rates from Cincinnati. Louisville.
and Indianapolis to California have ieen the
same AS the rate from Chicago. because the
Monon has insisted upon putting those cities
upon an equal footing with Chicago on all
business destined to the Pacific coast. This
enabled New York and other Eastern points to
use Cincinn att rates for basing purposes. and
II Is claimed that the discrimination has
caused the lines running westward from Chi
cago to lose money on their through business.
As result of the conferences held this week
the Ohio River lines have consented to do the
fair thing. The whole controversy has been
settled BY the adopton Of the following rsso.
