RAILROAD INTERESTS.
PROBLEMS BEFORE THE PRESIDENTS.
REFORMS WHICH ARE EXPECTED FROM To-


REFORMS WHlCH htbh rhOA ~
MoRRow's MEETING.
The trunk line presidents. who win meet tomorrow.
have problems TO solve which will require all the
natience and conservatism at their command. Al
though not publicly realized the railroad situation Is
one which suggests drastic measures and the invest
uent world looks to the Trunk Line Board 70 accom-
pish something as tangible and emphatic as was done
when President Gould. of the Missouri Pacific cut on
the head OF his general manager when 1t was proved
that the subordinate officer had violated the rules OF
the Western Traffic Association. The programme
ociay spread before the trunk line presidents NAV be
sparse but upon their action depends the creation OF an
influence the rate situation which will be for good
or evil. No quibbling on points will be allowed in
the minds Of railroad who looking for cue to
future action from the highest board In the Trunk Line
Association.
The presidents have several serious problems to
handle The private question is one which should
be pressed to the end for the payment Of mileage to
shippers who own cars the various roads. or
the adoption devices equivalent to this practice has
reached point where decentralization In earnings might
become general The recent decisions OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission have been OF one tenor namely
the illegalty OF all devices looking 10 the manipulation
Of tariffs by any means whatsoever. The trnkline
presidents not only their sefinteress to look
after but their responsibility TO the Federal law The
control of passenger rates and regulations must be
emphasized in way that will discourage any road
which refuses 10 ABIDE py agreements Inc eastoono
freight situation is notoriously bad and the pres
dental board must take action TO bring about reform
its members to separate for their summer vacations
with easy consciences The device Of dividing east
bound business received at Buffalo from the lakes
help to solve one branch Of the problem Of competition
but railrosd recognize that this is not the whole
solution. There known 10 be abuses on all-rail
tia1c that command attention and the more promptly
IL Is given the better viii feel the army OF investors
who look 10 railroad managers to conserve their prop
critics. Detailed plans not expected from the pres
officers recognize when stamps Itself upon even formal
resolutions.
