Freight men were good deal disturbed
yesterday over an order emanating from the
Joint Traffic Association. through its board
of managers, which forbids any passenger
official giving a reduced passenger rate to
any freight official. II has been the habit of
a freight official. when unable TO get BUSH
ness at full rates, to persuade the shipper
to pay the tariff rate. and, as an induce
ment, give him reduced rate for travel
usually a half rate. This must now be
stopped, say the Joint Traffic Association
managers. and every freight official will
have TO secure business in legitimate man
ner.

NO MORE FAVORITISM
RAILWAY OFFICERS FRIGHTENED
BIZ THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Agents Warned TO Obey the Interstate
Strengthening Their Position.

The Western roads, says a Chicago dis
patch, are, since the Brown decision, taking
action to prevent themselves from coming
into forcible contact with the interstate
commerce law. Monday one OF the leading
Western lines sent out a circular to all its
agents warning them that there must be
no more <avoritism shown in granting
rates, and that the agents who did
It would be dismissed from the service. Yes
terday two more OF the roads sent out sim
liar circulars to their agents, saying that
the recent decision of Judge Brown made
1t advisable for the roads TO be careful in
what they did in the way OF granting spe-
cial rates to any shipper. The circulars
were issued with great secrecy, for the rea-
son that the roads are fearful that the
fact that they found it necessary to issue
circulars might cause the officials of the
Interstate-commerce Commission to think
they had been violating the law in the
past by granting special rates to some fav-
ored shipper. They claim that they have
not done this. but they simply do not care
to give the commission any chance to enter
tain uncharitable suspicious against them.
The regular meeting of the Western Pas
senger Association win be held in st. Louis
to-day, and strong effort will be made
to settle the differences in rates between
the Missouri river and Colorado common
points. Unless the fight between the Atchi-
son and the Denver & Gulf can be settled
there is not much chance that the rates
can be fixed up with an assurance that they
will remain fixed for any great length OF
time. A number OF other matters, the most
them OF a routine nature, will come before
the meeting.
The officials of the Southern Trunk Line
Association are talking about holding an
other meeting TO see IL they cannot inject
some starch into freight rates in the West.
The agreement to maintain rates, into
which they all entered some time ago, has
not had any effect, and the conditions re-
main as bad before the last meeting
was held. There seems to be at present no
chance for the strict maintenance of rates
in Western territory. The trunk-line agree
ment certainly Is not able TO keep the roads
