IMMIGRANT TRAFFIC.

Western Roads VIII Discontinue the Pay
ing OF Commissions
Trunk line association roads have no;l-
fled the Southern Pacific that they will
no longer pay its commissions on the i'm
migrant business 1t turns over to them.
This will Indirectly be of great assistance
to the Western Immigration Clearing
house. The Southern Pacific has mum
Der of European agencies working up i'm
migrant business for its Sunset route,
and its interests In this direction are all
antagonistic to those of the Western i'm
migrant clearing house. 1t has had to
employ agents of its own In Europe and
TO pay commissions which will compete
with those of the Southern Pacific.
The trunk lines have up TO now shared
In the payment OF the Southern Pacihc's
commission because they got the first
purt of the haul after the business ar
rived In this country. by their refusal
TO do so any longer the whole burden OF
the support OF the European agencies
will be thrown on the Southern Pacific
and that road will be less able to compete
with the Western roads than 1t was be-

Regarding the fight against the Joint
Traffic association by the st. Louis ship
pers the st. Louis Republic says: An
interesting situation is developing In the
Southwest For some time the high class
freight has been practically pooled be-
tween the four strong lines from ST. Louis
to Texas Now the dry goods men, the
boot aud shoe men and the groeers have
determined TO Concentrate their shipments
llpon the Alton and the Rock Island. be-
cause those two roads are outside OF
any pooling agreement and Independent
of any arrangement for the maintenance
of rates There Is good ground for be-
lieving that there Is something behind all
this, but In the meantime, the facts are as
stated.
