Texas freight rates took place between
George Gould and reporter for the St
Louis Globe-Democrat:
''Who is responsible for the democrat
iEaton OF freight rates in the Southwest

THAT Is conundrin. and YOU had
| better ask some of the smart traffic men
who make aud unmake rates, the men
who are experts at thor business In that
line. In these dnys Of sharp competition

suits for the individual interests, and

compelling lines. Rate wars are disas-
trous to reynue. but when an agree
mcnt founded on good faith Is violated

their hands and see the business divert
