EAST-BoUND FREIGHT SCHEDULES.


THE BOARD OF PRESIDENTS MAKE THE WEST
ERN ROADS RESPONSIBLE FOR RATES.
The board Of presidents of the Trunk Line Assoca-
ton sat for number Of hours yesterday In one Of the
pleasant committee Of the Offices ut Liberty and
West sts When they adjourned they had comfortably
thrown the responsibility OF maintaining eastbound
freight rates upon the roads of the Central Traffic
Association. This plan is similar to the one under
which the westbound freight is controlled the main
tenance of the schedules being looked after by special
committee.
Such committee for the control Of east bound busi
ness appointed last week by the Central Traffic
Association and the appointment approved by the
board Of presidents yesterday. Each OF the Western
lines will be made responsible for the maintenance Of
schedule rates from its initial point All Of the Trunk
lines will be asked TO keep their hands off Of eastbound
freight contracts and the special committee will be ex
pected TO that both Western and Eastern lines do
as they told.
If this plan Is really carried out, 1t win, of course
largely do away with competitive rate-cuttlng. Rail-
road plans and agreements, however, sometimes fail to
accomplish the desired ends, and 1t is to the special
committee that the presidents really pin their faith.
Such complicated problems that Of dealing with the
prvatecar question, and that Of the distribution of
lake freight at Buffalo, left for the detailed
consideration OF the executive heads Of the association.
The special eastbound freight committee Will meet
Wednesday next for conference with the Joint COM
mttee of the Trunk lines and the Central Traffic Asso
cation.
The Canadian Pacinc's request for greater differ.
entail on freight to the Northwest from NewYork did
not long bother the presidents yesterday. They re-
ferred 1t back to Commissioner Goddard for arbitration
under the association rules.
The roads were represented at the meeting yester-
day as follows The Pennsylvania, President Rob-
erts; New-York Central, President Chauncey NJ. De-
pew; the Erie President John King; the Baltimore
and Ohio, President Mayer Philadelphia and Reading.
