Washington, January 12-There was an important conference today between the presidents of the leading trunk lines and members of the interstate commerce com- mission, at which informal assurance was given of cooperation to bring about uni- formity of freight rates The demoralized condition of freight rates in the trunk line territory brought about the conference The presidents of the Grand Trunk New York Central, Erie, Delaware and Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, Reading system, Pennsyl- vania, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, Michigan Central, Lake Shore, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg and the Wabash were present.
 The conference was secret and informal and in the nature of discussion over rates instead of an official Investigation by the commission. The result of today's meet ing, it was stated the commission viewed with considerable satisfaction, and it is thought an arrangement may be devised shortly to effect thorough tariff uniform ity. Similar conferences between the inter- state commission and the representativ of roads in other sections of the country are likely to be held in the near future. It was confidently asserted that beneficial results and more stability of rates will follow the conferences. There are many difficulties in the way, however, and con- ferences among the railroad officials them selves will be brought about to remove these obstacles.
