Great Northern and Union racine
Are at LOEgerheads.

Chicago, April S-The Great Northern
and Union Pacific are at loggerheads over
sleeping car rates to Portland, Or. Inc
tracks of the Great Northern end at Sc
attic and from there to Portland 1t uses
the tracks of the Northern Pacific. Inc
sleeping car rate from st. Paul to Seattle
is $3.50. From st. Paul to Portland the
amount is the same, but the Northern
Pacific's local sleeping car rate from seat
tie to Portland is 81. The Great Northern
is now absorbing the 81 between Seattle
and Portland, and in support OF It's &C
ton it has a ruling Of the secretary Oh
the local passenger association at Port
land.
The Union Pacific, however. has taken
exception to any such ruling. 1t claims
that the Great Northern, not having
tracks Of it's own into Portland, has no
more right to do through business to
that point than the Union Pacific would
have to go to Seattle or any other Puget
sound point.
The matter has been referred to the
chairman Of the transcontinental associa
ton for a ruling, but he admits that it is
too complicated to pass upon without
full hearing, and he has therefore re-
quested expressions of opinion on the sub
ject from ali the roads interested.
