now remains only for President Reinhart
of the Santa Fe TO sanction his acceptance
of his own proposition and to JOIN with
President Huntington Of the Southern Pa
citic in saying that fares shall be restored.
When President Huntington on Wednes-
day last declared that rates ought TO be re-
stored, and added that what ought to be
usually came TO pass, he spoke with the
terms Of peace in his possession.
1t will necessarily take a short time to
put the treaty of peace into effect. The
Interstate Commerce Commission will
nave 10 be notified of an intention Of the
railway companies to restore rates, and
meanwhile the travel will be heavy. Up
TO yesterday there were few sales OF east
bound tickets. The local offices were
thronged with visitors. but they were in.
Quirers. not buyers. Now the rush for
tickets will begin.
During the past three days there has
been heavy correspondence by wire be-
tween officials of the Santa Fe and officials
OF the Southern Pacific. Much of this cor
respondence has been between President
'Reinhart of the Santa Fs and Vice-Pres-
dent Croker of the Southern Pacific.
A statement was made yesterday by
GOlOn6l tIOCkGE WHICH virtually SHOWS
that the war is at an end.
President Reinhart of the Santa Fe made
a proposition TO restore the status quo and
TO settle the difficulties by personal con-
ference sitter the rates had been put back
TO the old figures Mr. Remnant stated he
was coming to California in April, and
that pending his arrival the roads would
get along amicably on the old basis.
-.
fact that the Iowa lines wished the war to
cease before it affected rates east of the
Mississippi River and the fact that both
the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific had
early tired of the strife made compro-
mise possible.
Vice-President Croker yesterday wired
to President Reinhart. accepting his
proposition 10 rest re the status quo. He
wired that he would be glad to meet Mr..
Reinhart In this city. or. if it were pre-
ferred. that he and Mr. Stubs would go
on 10 Chicago TO confer with the Santa Fe
president.
The present trouble dates back to last
September" said Colonel Croker last
evening "The Santa Fe then made seri-
Gus threats against the Southern Pacific
because passengers were allowed the side
trip from LathTop TO San Francisco. Now
we do not insist on this side trip. We do
not want the side trip. In fact. we would
prefer 10 collect the tolls between Lathr0p
and this city, but if the Santa Fe insists
on giving free side trip into Los Angeles,
leaving the Atlantic and Pacific tracks at
Barstow for Los Angeles and using onr
rails from M0jaVe. then We must have tie
privilege of making side trip from Lath-
rOp TO this city.
1--WE have had contract with the Santa
Fe people by which theyswere allowed to
makeiIhisisde trip into Los Angeles. We
have had no contract with reference TO
making a side trip into San Francisco.
The contract allowing the side trip into
Los Angeles could be terminated after
having given sixty days notice. We gave
that notice. Now we have the rate war.
IF matters are restored 10 the former
basis of agreement of course this contract
allowing the side trip into Los Angeles will
be included. Then we shall ask to have
the similar privilege accorded with refer
ence to the side "trip from Lathrop to San
Francisco. If that is not allowed We shall
again give the required notice of sixty
days to terminate the agreement respect
ing the side trip to Los Angeles.
81 haves wired Mr.. Relnhart," con-
tinued Colonel Croker, that we would
be pleased TO confer with him here, or if
he preferred. that Mr.. Stubs and l would
go to Chicago and hold the meeting there.
It may be that the latter proposition will
be chosen. La that event l do not think
tina: President Huntington would meet
President Reinhart, as he would hardly
deem it necessary to make the trip to
Chicago himself"
Colonel Croker stated that he had heard
nothing from Mr. Remnant last evening,
but he seemed to feel confident that salts
factory adjustment of the points at issue
would be made after rates had been re-
stored,
