CANADIAN PACIFIC CASE.
Interstate Commerce + Commission
Listened to Closing Arguments.

CHICAGO, Aug. An his argument
before the interstate conlmerce COM
mission today, Generals Passenger
Agent Eustis, Of the Burlington road,
warned the Canadian Pacific that, if
1t continued shotgun policy towards
the American roads, congress would in
terVene and compel it to desist In
forceful language, he described the evils
which he said had resulted from the
granting of differentials to the Cana
dian road. He declared that If the
Canadian Pacific could not conduct
business on even terms with it's Ameri-
can competitors it should not be al
lowed to take the American traffic. He
was interrupted several times by Com
missioner Prouty, who asked him how
weaker roads could secure a share Of
traffic if they were not granted differ
entails. Mr.. Eustis replied that the
roads handicapped by physical disabil-
tiles should compete for cheaper lines
Of traffic. Further catechised on the
same Subject, he admitted that this
discrimination might, in a sense,
amount to granting differentials. He
denied, however. that giving differen-
tials to the Western roads would prove
remedy for the present troubles.
"Differential religion he said, will
not bring peace to the soul Of the rail-
way man"
He thought the Canadian Pacific
could compete on even terms with COM
pet1tors If it quickened it's time, and
he conceded that share of American
traffic in the East should be carried
by Canadian lines. The Canadian Pa
cific claimed differentials from Boston
to San Francisco, but there were half
a dozen roads connecting these points
which possessed greater disadvantages
than the Canadian Pacifies and could
claim differentials from it. When
speaking on the futility Of arbitration
in railroad disputes. Mr. Eustis di-
crossed moment to compliment Mr..
McNicoll on the shrewdness he had dis
played in desiring arbitration. He
said Mr.. McNieoll knew, what he was
about when he suggested that course
Otherwise, no agreement would have
been reached, and the matters have
stood as before. In making his rec
concentration to the commission. Mr.
Eustis disavowed, on Behalf of the
Western roads, any desire to exclude
the Canadian line from operating in
American territory, SO longias it would
consent to compete on even terms with
the American lines. He; con,tended that
the dfferentials wherever tried had
proved a dead failure, and he insisted
that no natural disabilities which the
Canadian road might possess entitled
it to differentials. He asked the COM
mission to decide the extent of the
Canadian roads right to do business
in the United States. During re-
cent years." he said. ''the Canadian
Pacific has become an IMPORTANT com
petitor of, the American lines, and its,
unjust demands have excited a great
deal of public comment, I have told
Mr.. McNieoll that, if he will become
a fair competitor, neither the Western
lines nor the trunk lines will object to
the Canadian line getting fair share
of traffic"
Mr.. Raymond replied, on behalf of
the Canadian Pacific, and at the close
OF his argument the commission left
for Washington. -sid .eol 80
