LACKAWANNA DISTURBING IT'S RIVALS.
CHARGES OF RATECUTTING on PROVISIONS
ACTION TO pEEYENT FALsE BILLING

ACTION TO PREVENT FALSE BILLING
The Trunk Line Executive Committee has decided
TO establish bureau Of Inspectors al Buffalo to watch
the receipt Of eastbOund freight and detect If pos
sblc the false billing which is responsible for much
manipulation in rates. one Of the devices OF
a road that wishes the established tariff Is to
bill falsely 50 as to absorb The arbitrary rate that
goes TO a connecting road. TO Illustrate, suppose the
through rate from Chicago to Boston is 80 cents and
the same rate i applied To Beverly, point beyond
for the reason that competition Of roads which do
not directly connect with the place must be protected
The "arbtrary7 rate from Boston TO Beverly is II
cents which the line that furnishes the link should
receive. This arbitrary should he deducted from
the through Iae OF 80 ccnts when the roads from
Chicago to Buffalo and from Buffalo to Boston make
their divisions l. Ii being the rate taken by
each OF the two lines TO Boston. The usual division
at Buffalo of the through Buffalo rate Of 90 cents
would he cents. By re0iliing at Buffalo freight
destined for Beverly, but stopping it Boston, the
eastern road can have margin Of Sd cent, the
through rate to divide with the shipper or keep itself
In either case the line east of Buffalo is making
Legitimate profit O.t Of its western connection which
shares in the supposed division of the through
OH bass OF 80 cents less the arbitrary from Boston
TO Bevei;..
Extensive practices of this kind are charged against
the Delaware Lackawanna and Western and tho
appointment of inspectors at Buffalo is intended
check TO the EVIL. The LackaWahIa Is also believed
to be manipulating the rate provisions to serious
extent Here in round figures the percentages Of
this traffic carried by the Lackawanna in the years
ending september 30: leoS Ii; 1889 %; 1890 81
per cent. For the first two months Of 1eDl the
iackawanna'> percentage has risen TO 30 per cent
For the last four weeks It's progress IN securing bust
ness is represented by 81, 80. 20 IL and IS per
cent. arranged according to the priority of date
There have been frequent changes of patronage from
competing lines to the Lackawanna which il is con
tended tOuld not possibly result if arn rates wcro
maintained. The Lackawanna Is now carrying nearly
all the provisions that come into New York over
the trunk lines. Report has il that cuts of cents
per 100 pounds from Chicago and cents from Kansas
City are responsible for the swelling of the Lacka-
Wanna'S tonnage.
