Railroads that Won't Pay Commissions.
The Pennsylvania system, Lake Shore,
Michigan Central, Atchison, Northwestern
Burlington and St. Paul have formed an Of
fensive and defensive alliance on the commIs-
sion question. The agreement provides that
none Of the lines shall pay commissions to
the agents Of any Of the other lines in the
deal, and all the through business which can
be Influenced be divided equltably among the
other lines. The combination is the result Of
the old boyeot association. The Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt systems are unalterably op-
posed to the payment Of commissions. Be
tween them they take over 50 per cent of the
tirst-class and over 80 per cent. OF the second
class passengers. Consequently they are In a
position to dictate terms, which they praetl-
cally did to the four Western roads, although
the latter got by far the best of the bargain.
