standing the action of the association

therefore, virtually an abandonment Of

is concerned itcan see no possible advan-

by virtue of this agreement, which is an
agreement and association only in name,
and, as you state in your communication
before referred to, has no binding force

Grow Weary of Double
Dealing.
AGREEMENTS ARE ALL BROKEN
Now the Companies Propose to Reduce
Rates TO Suit Their Own
Convenience.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 24.-Quite a sem
| sation was sprung in railroad circles this
evening by the withdrawal of the Athison,
Topeka and Santa Fe and the Chicago,
Rock Island ana Pacific companies from
the Western Freight Association. The
letters of notification TO Chairman Midg-
ley are very firm and uncompromising and
indicate very unsatisfactory state of af-
fairs among the thirty-four lines compris-
ing the association.
On behalf of the Santa Fe Paul Morton
writes Commissioner Midgley that, after
having been solicited to join the associa-
ton in order to strengthen it, his company
was extremely disappointed in the result
of the organization"
1.-THE Western Freight Association agree
ment," he continues, ais being violated
every day by the issuance of independent
and unauthorized tariffs and other irregu-
lar methods, in consequence of which we
see nothing further 10 be gained by con-
tinuing our membership in the associa-
ton as at present organized, and this is to
give notice of our intention to withdraw
therefrom ten days from to-day"
In conclusion Mr.. Morton says that 'sif
the time ever comes when there is appar-
emily desire on the part of our COM
oetitors to enter into an agreement ard
carry it out honestly and literally we
shall be glad to join them.''
For the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Traffic Manager j. NJ. Johnson
refers to the appeal recently issued by
Chairman Midgley 'for orderly methods, I"
and says: "This seems to us to be a for
mai and official announcement by you of
what, in fact, has been the case for about
two months, viz: virtual abandonment
of the Western Freight Association by all
lines members of it. The only feature of
the agreement of this association that has
ever been of any substantial benefit to
members of it is the one which requires
all lines, before making any reductions In
rates other than those to meet outside
competition, to present the same for con-
sideration at the regular meetings of the
association.
