All Bars Removed Preventing Cut Fl
Prices.

Prices.
CHICAGO, July 21.-The Western roads
did not reach definite conclusion TODAY
in regard to the reduced rates for the
Worlds Fair, but there is reasonable
prospect of their doing so tomorrow, If
the present prevailing idea is carried ont
the basis will practically be one fare for
the round trip. All the bars were re-
moved to-day which hitherto prevented
cuts made by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific between Puget Sound
and st. Paul being applied through any
Missouri river gateway except Omaha,
The Union Pacific made a rate Of S33 go
from points on its line competitive with
these two roads to Omaha via Ogden. The
competitors of the Union Pacific claimed
relief under the agreement by the West
ern Passenger Association, and were
authorized to-day to use the same rate
via their respective gateways, and to

equality, and distinctly recognizes the
right of the law-making bodies to regu-
late railways through railway commits
sions, especially that feature of State and
Federal regulation which requires car
riers to obtain the permission of the COM
mission before granting lower rates to
persons and places.
The case was brought under a statute of
Colorado, which prohibits discrimination
in practically the same language as en-
ployed in the interstate commerce law.
The discrimination was charged on ship
ments of coal to Denver.
