WESTERN FREIGHT ASSOCIATIONS
ACTION DOESN'T HELP THE
TWIN CITY JOBBERS,
NOR WAS 1T so INTENDED.
POSITIONS OF GREAT NORTHERN
AND NORTHERN PACIFIC IN THE
NATTER
REGARDED AS RATHER UNCERTAIN
Reported That They Have Already
Issued Tariffs in Come ctiOn With
ST. Paul Lines.

The rate of 40 cents on merchandise
from Chicago to Montana, via the
North Western and the Union Pacific,
authorized by the Western Freight as
Sociation, equalizes the situation from
the standpoint of the Chicago-St. Paul
lines. The rates, as issued by the
Union Pacific, practically reopens to
the Chicago jobbers the territory which
had been cut off through the action of
the 500, and the refusal of the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines to enter the COM
petition.
Statements regarding the positions of
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific seem to differ in the premises.
One official Of the latter stated TO q
reporter for the Clio e that the
Northern Pacific would not enter the
competition in any form, that it would
have to be fought out by the roads
more directly interested. Another Off
cial says the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern have already issued
tariffs in connection with the Chicago
st. Paul lines, and that the tariff has
been in operation for some days. The
tariff, however, appears to be a pro-
portional affair, based upon the sum
total of locals from Chicago The
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern both declare they will not stand
a cent of the shrinkage.
The action Of the Union Pacific, how
ever, cuts the two ST. Paul transcon-
tlnental lines out of an exclusive traffic
which was good as long as it lasted
Most Of the Montana business from
Chicago has been routed via st, Paul
for the past two weeks, and the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern have
had a harvest. Now that the Union
Pacific has cut in. the volume of West
ern business passing through st. Paul
will be materially curtailed.

RATES MUST WAIT
Until the Fate of the Anti-SceIper
Bill Is Settled.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The chairman Of
the Western Passenger association has
issued instructions to all agents of
Western roads in the East that, until
further advised, they are not to con-
tract for any business for the cOnven-
ton of the Christian EndeavOr society
at San Francisco next July. The East
ern agents are waiting for a decision
from Chicago before fixing the rates
from the East to Chicago. The cause
of the delay is that the Western roads
are waiting for final action on the
anti-scalping law now pending before
congress. If the bill becomes a law
they will be at greater liberty, to ex-
tend concessions to the members of
the society than they are now able TO
do, when the scalpers are in a posi-
tion to create all sorts of demoraliza-
ticn with the unused portions of tick
cts.
Chairman Caldwell, Of the Western
Passenger association, who has been
in Washington in the interest of the
anti-scalping law, has returned to his
office and is long way from sharing
the general opinion that the bill is
doomed TO failure. On the contrary,
Chairman Caldwell is very sanguine
