Low RATES TO COLORADO POINTS
Union Pacific, Denver and Guif Ii Blamed
for the Trouble.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE executive offic-
ers Of the western roads met here today.
The principal matter up for discussion
was the low freight rates from Chicago
TO Colorado points. II was the opinion
of all the roads that the rates are much
too low, and that IL they are 10 continue
at the present tariff the roads will not
make sufficient from their business 10
pay the operating expenses Of the
trains. The matter could be settled
quickly il the Union Pacific, Denver and
Gulf would fozego its demand for a diff
ferential. The western roads are deter
mined that they win not allow a differ
entail, and the chances are that the fight
will be continued for some time longer,
at least until after the reorganization OF
;he Denver and Gulf. when 1t Is thought
that sufficient pressure can be brought TO
bear upon the new management TO in
duce them to forego the demand for
differentiai, and that the rates will then
be restored in short order. II is likely
that the meeting will last through sew
eral days.
During the late afternoon an unexpect-
ed turn in affairs took place. and the diff
ferential lines agreed to scaling down
Of their claims of from FIVE TO three
cents on the various classes OF freight
This was satisfactory 10 the lines of the
Western Freight association. and II was
decided that all rates should be raised
January 1. The direct lines absolutely
refused 10 maintain the rates unlese the
copcessions asked by the differentiaI
lines were lessened In very marked de-
gree. Under the agreement all rail and
water rates from the Atlantic seaboard
to Colorado points were included, and il
is understood that these rates will be
lower than the au-rail rates by the
amount OF the dlfferentlsls which the
all-rail lines granted a; the meeting to-
day. the elevation in rates on January
l will De very considerable, as firs,-class
freight that is now being carried from
Chicago to Denver for 81 cents viii. after
the first OF the year, be carried for 81 o.
