SUCCESS OF THE wINDSOA HOTEL MEETING.
The general view taken in Wall street OF the meeting
OF the Advisory Board Of the Western Traffic Asso-
citation Is that nothing Of importance was accomplished
railroad men who attended the meeting say that this
Is an erroneous impression Roswell Miller, president
Oh the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul. and president
OF the Advisory Board, said yesterday to Tribune
reporter:
The meeting thoroughly satisfactory TO all
those who participated in It. The business that came
before 1t was mainly Of disciplinary character. con-
ssthg OF appeals from decisions Of the Commissioners
ana questions involving the enforcement Of the rules
OF the Association. on all points the authority Of the
commissioners was upheld and the result was soldi-
hcaton OF the association in manner gratifying to all
interests. There no disappointment at the post
ponement OF the discussion Of the matter Of Joint
freight agencies at competitive points. No one ex-
pected 1t 10 be decided this meeting. This is a
radical reform and the time not yet considered ripe
TO attempt to put it into effect 1t would be folly TO
try an experiment prematurely for that would invite
failure and leave the roads OFF than they were
before
When the cooperation of the outside lines can be
secured the question Of establishing joint agencies
VIII become at once practical one. 1t is generally felt
mat tne pfacuea result Of the work OF the association
thus far has been the saving of a very large OF
money to the roads and that it has proven the best
form OF an association that has been tried. Nobody
expected that II would prove TO be perfect. That
Can only be arrived Ut by slow stages

NoIS ANTITRUST LAW.
Chicago. June 16 (Special).-The wholesale grocers
and the trusts are engaged in lively fight on ac-
count Of the antitrust law passed by the last Legs
ature. which went into effect July ]. Representa-
tives Of all the big Wholesale firms in Chicago met at
noon to-day at the Commercial Exchange to decide
upon some course of action. On the day the law went
into force most Of the big dealers sent notices to the
tobacco, soap, starch. match salt, potash, and I've
and spice trusts that they wOud buy no more goods
under the old cement because all trusts had be-
Illegal. The trusts sent 10 every wholesale
dealer circular saving that all contracts made under
the trust system null. that in the future theG
would comply with the law. Then came a circular
disclosing scheme TO evade the new law. 1t ema
mated from the tobacco manufacturers and was a
simple proposition to hire the wholesale dealers as
agents and to pay them for handling their goods.
The meeting to-day informal one and no
definite action taken, but the feeling seemed TO be
in favor Of dscOntnuiDg business with trusts. samuel
B. Raymond president of the Commercial Exchange
was in the chair and f. J. Leonard was secretary
The following Wholesale firms were represented:
Franklin Macveagh Co., Corbin. May g. Co.. John 5

Mcneil Higgins Company, sprague War
ner A. Co. W n. Heegard & Co., and W. VI.
Hovt g. Co. The first thing the meeting did was to
resolve by unanimous vote to have nothing further
70 do with the contract system. Then followed an
informal discuss on Of the agency scheme. Mr. Cook
Of spraCue, Warner Co.. presented letter from the
Drummond Tobacco Company Of st. Louis. saying that
il had devised an agency agreement which could not
he knocked out by any law 1t was TO make the
Wholesaler and iobber an agent Of the manufacturer
The uods consigned to him were to remain the prop

many said enabled the manufacturer TO fix the selling
