Alaska Rates Meeting To-day.

Chicago, Jan. is little doubt
that the roads of the Central Passenger
Association and those of the Western Pas
senger Association which meet Tomorrow
to consider the question of rates to Alaska
will ask the interstate commerce commits
sion to suspend the long and short haul
clause of the law in order that they may
meet the rates of the Canadian Pacific
through to the Pacific coast without demon
alizing their local tariffs. 1t was in the
opinion OF the passenger representatives of
day. the hest thing to be done. There is
some doubt rs to the percentage the East
ern roads will stand of the reduction in
case it becomes necessary to make one in
order to meet the rates of the Canadian
Pacific. This matter may provoke a lively

CROKER CAUSES A STRIKE.
Brother of 1nmmnny Chicftnin in n
Fight With Irish Railway
ORGANIZATIONS,

New York. Jan. 25.-The action of Richard
Cookers brother. manager of the Cork &
South Coast railway, in arbitrarily dismiss
irg a signal man. has provoked a strike
which threatens to spread throughout all
ent.
The men allege the signal man was dis
missed solely because he had taken Il
prominent part recently in laying their
grievances before Manager Croker.
They went on n strike ut an hours notice.
The employees of other Irish railways have
given notice that they will strike rather
than handle any goods coming by Croker's
road, unless the signal man is reinstated.
Manager Croker is noted among Irish
railroad men as the hardest and most dom
ineering of task masters. He is always in
mere or less trouble with his men.

BIG FIGHT BY THE MEMPHIS.
Interesting by Recent De-
ODmen

The announcement that the Memphis
would preserve the Kansas City differential
under Omaha on sugar, coffee, molasses
and rice from New Orleans. made exclu-
sively in The journal yesterday. brings to
mind the big fight made by Traffic Manager
Fletcher. of that road. a few years ago to
protect Kansas City's differential on pack
ing house rates. In a rate war the Mem
phis carried packing house products from
Kansas City to Memphis. Tenn, for 3
cents per 100 hounds. or $3.50 per car, allow
ing the packing houses owning their own
cars mileage of $685. per car for their use.
This represented Il loss to the Memphis of
$3.50 and operating expenses per car. but
the differential Is the same now as then.
John a. Sargent. general freight agent of
the P%ittshurg & Gulf. was at that time as
sistant general freight agent of the Men,
