It's directors and officers are working

Something About what the Latter
Has Been Doing

Chicago, III, Dec. l1,---Gt cannot have
escaped public attention that during
the past year there has been a persist
ent and malignant endeavor on the
part OF n New York paper to disoredit
the Associated PRESS.
Day after day It has been asserting
that the Associated Press was falling
To pieces; that II was bankrupt; that
sach months business showed a deficit;
that Its news service was unrellable
and frequently behind time; that there
was widespread dissatisfaction among
its members
To those who know the facts these
statements only furnish fresh evidence
OF the desperate plight lnto which the
unfortunate Uaited Press have found
themselves. Il was well known thar

Canit Charge Tor sWitching.
Chicago, Ill. Dec. liza meeting Of
the general managers OF the Western
lines was held this afternoon at the
ONCE of Chairman Midgiey OF the
Western Freight association for the
purpose Of considering an advance in
the rates on live stock from Western
points to Chicago. The motive for the
advance was found In recent decis-
ion Of the courts, which was that the
Atchison had no right to make a
switching charge OF 81 per car on all
shipments of ali stock received at the
contended that the charge was made
compulsory by the Stock Yards COM
pany and that in reality II had moth
ing TO do with the matter. The courts
held that the charge must be dropped
and the AtchisOn has been the only
road carrying stock to the yards which
has not made this charge of 81 per car.
The other roads were anxious to have
the rates put in such shape that they
would cover the 50 which they would
be compelled to go without as soon as
some other customer brought a test
case against them. After long dis
cussion 1t was found that the rates
would not stand an advance at the
present time and the matter was left
where 1t was when the meeting con-
vened.
All the other roads will In a short
time drop the switching charge, as their
business will drift to the Atchlson IL
they do not That road has been for
forbidden by the court from making
the charge and is carrying stock into
the yards at 81 less than any other
line
