THE PULLMAN MONOPOLY.
st. Paul Road Sues for an Accounting
and Claims Fraudulent Charges.

CHICAGO, Aug 3.-There was filed in the
United States circuit court this afternoon
a suit that may in various ways affect
many railroads. 1t is a bill in equity filed
by the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway against the Pullman Palace Car
company for an accounting under con-
tract made in 1882 by which the st. Paul
road secured from thirty to forty-five
palace, dining and sleeping cars. The
road charges that Pullman, who is under
contract for maintaining the cars, made
charges that were grossly excessive and
fraudulent. An accounting is sought
and an injunction restraining the
Pullman company from prose-
cutting an action at law against
the road for 81 ,000, 900, now pending in the
courts. The railroad company agreed to
pay such a proportion of the general ex-
penses of the cars repaired as the number
of cars upon the line bore to the whole
number of cars run by the Pullman COM
pany, but the bill shows that charges. ac-
cording to this agreement, were $25. u on
each car for one month and if this was a
pro rata charge, the amount retained by
the Pullman company from all companies
it had contracts with must have been
81, 2lS,SSS per annum. Regarding the
enormous amounts paid 10 porters and
conductors, according to the Pullman bill.
the railroad states there was never any de-
tailed statement of wages paid these en-
ployes. The cost of manufacturing cars is
gone over, and bills for the cost of the cars
in question, 1t is asserted, are greatly in
excess OF the actual cost. Edwin Walker.
