HOW JOINT WEIGHING AND INsPEC-

They Increase the Revenues OF Rail-
ways and Protect shippers-The
EmfErant Rate Trouble.

The monthly report OF j. b. Eckman, OF
the Joint Weight and Inspection Bureau.
shows the increase In weight and revenue
In his district gained by weighing and in
spection for the month of September to
have been as follows: At Indianapolis, gain

A railway official. yesterday, in COM
menting on the results which have fol-
lowed the formation OF the numerous joint
weighing and inspection bureaus, said that
It had proven one OF the most profitable
moves made in years by the railroad COM
panies. They had not only increased the
revenue OF the roads. but had protected the
shippers who were disposed to give actual
weights and the character or the goods. No
large shipper. or, in fact. small one, can
classification his goods come under, and
most OF the shippers can give actual
weights or SO near 10 actual weights mat
reaus might take would not materially
change the rates. which are now so low
that any reasonable shipper should be will
inc to nav for the actual weight and truth
fully represent the character Of the ship
ment. In this connection X should be said
that the first joint weight and inspection
bureau was organized at Indianapolis. at
the suggestion OF the then Bee-line manage
ment, which, for years, had weighed and
Inspected goods shipped over its lines, and
competitors had taken advantage of this
plan Of the Bee-lne 10 Curry favor with
shippers to points where there was COM
petition. The organizing OF a bureau, with
all roads Included, placed all on the same

The Emigrant Rate War.

The conference at Chicago OF the lines of
the Western Passenger Association with
General Passenger Agent Hubbard, of the
500 line. regarding the question of emigrant
rates. amounted to nothing, after a session
which lasted all day yesterday. The object
OF the meeting was to arrive at an agree
ment regarding the rate and amount of
commissions to be paid on the emigrant
business The failure Of the Western lines
10 arrive at any agreement with the 500
line, which was more favorably disposed TO
their cause than are the trunk lines, leaves
but small hope that the committee CT the
Western lines. which is to leave on Sunday
for New York to attempt some arrange
ment with the trunk lines on the same mat
ter OF emigrant commissions. will arrive at
any conclusion with the latter lines This
will leave the Western lines the one resort
Of going TO war with the Canadian Pacific
over the emigrant business, which that
road seems determined to absorb. No def
mite action will be taken, however, rptfl
after the return OF the committee from New
York with a full knowledge OF just what
the trunk lines will do or will not DO.

There seems to be but small hope that
