CUTS ARE LIKELY TO BE MADE
SOON BY THE WESTERN
ROADS.
WEAK ROADS DISSATISFIED.
STRONG COMPANIES ARE GETTING
ALL THE TRAFFIC THAT IS
MOVING.
RESTRAINING FORCE REMOVED.
The Joint Traffic Association No
Longer Has the Power Which
1t Once Possessed.

CHICAGO, April .-Notwithstand-
ing the completion of new agreements
Of the Western Passenger association
and the Weston Freight association,
and the determination of the strong
roads that rates shall not be reduced,
it is fact that both freight and pas
senger rates are in a decidedly shaky
condition. There are many traffic of
ficials who are Of the opinion that a
reduction Of rates will act as a gall
vanic battery in quickening business,
and they are disposed to try the RENE
dy. Repeated warnings have been
made by the board of managers of the
Joint Traffic association aginst cutting
rates, but this body is no longer held
in awe, since the decision of the su-
preme court made its legal existence
a matter Of doubt. There are traffic
officials, on the roads running east
from Chicago, who do not believe that
the Joint Traffic association has the
power to get them discharged if they
do cut rates, and, in the present status
Of the association before the law, they
believe that they will be able to cut
their tariffs in such maner that it can
be kept from the board Of managers
OF the freight associations, and from
the interstate commerce commission as
well. They want more business, and
think that lower rates are the only
means of obtaining it.
The strong lines, naturally getting
the heavy portion Of whatever is NOV
ing, are strongly against any ~reduc-
ton in rates, and will make it very
warm for any road that attempts to
cut the rates. The thing is rapidly
approaching the point where the only
question before the advocates of lower
rates is, whether they can cut the rates
without being found out. If they think
they can work this they will not have
the slightest hesitation in cutting both
freight and passenger rates.
The Western lines will, very soon
after their new agreement is disposed
of, at the meeting to be held next
week, take up the question of emigrant
traffic. They have come to the cOnClu-
sion that they must have an equivalent
for their clearing house in some way,
and a meeting will be held to determine
the best method of arranging mat
tiers so that the decision of the SUI
preme court will not be violated The
working of the clearing house was
satisfactory in the most eminent de-
gree to all of the lines interested. and
it removed from among the Western
roads a prolific source of demoraliza-
ton. They are firmly of the opinion
that they must supply the place of
the clearing house in some manner,
but at present they are all at sea as
tc how the thing can be arranged. If
it is not found possible to reach an
agreement on the question, it is likely
that some reductions win be made III
the emigrant rates or that the rate
Of commission will be advanced.
