The members of the Trunk-line Associa-
ton yesterday came to an agreement on
traffic between New York and Chicago and
st. Louis. and resolutions were passed
agreeing to maintain rates and stop the
payment of commissions after Jan. ]. ALI
roads east and west of Pittsburg and Buff
falo were represented. 1t was stated that
the condition of rates at Buffalo, which
has been a hot-bed of rate cutting, was
much better than it has been. Doing away
with the commissions will be a great saw
ing to the roads. Another meeting will be
held early in January, when a system Of
adjudicating complaints arising from the
enforcement of the resolution passed yes
terday will be decided upon.
All the roads agreed to abolish COM
missions for the sale of tickets and also to
maintain the tariffs as filed with the Inter-
state-commerce Commission, the agree
ment to go into effect Jan. 1. The effect
of this Will be not only to bring the roads
into much better and closer relations than
they have been for some time, but also, IL
the agreement be lived up to, to do away
with secret rate cutting, which has had a
demoralizing effect on rates. II will, too,
do away to some extent, at least, with the
business of scalpers who, in some places, IL
is said. have been able to buy direct from
the railroads at a price below the regular
tariff price, and sell to their patrons still
below regular rates at a profit. Harmoni-
Gus action in this respect alone, railroad
men say, will mean a saving to the rail-
roads of something like $780, 900 a month.
Each railroad also Is to refuse to become
a party to any irregularity on the part Of
any other railroad, and 1t Is understood
that IL any road finds Ii Is embarrassed by
an improper reduction of rates by a con-
Meeting line, 1t shall. instead IL ~retaliating,
first call the attention of Commissions
Farmer to the matter and he will endeavor
to bring about an understanding and res
toration Of the rates.
Representatives of twenty-five railroads
were present at the meeting yesterday, in
Guiding the New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania, Erie, Lehigh Valley, West Shore,
Lackawanna, Jersey Central. Ontario &
Western. Grand Trunk. Wabash, Nickel
plate. Chesapeake & Ohio, Baltimore &
Ohio and Lake Shore. At the conclusion of
the session, which was said to be a very
harmonious one. Commissioners Farmer
said: while there has been a good condi-
ton in the trunk-line territory for the past
year, the east-bound situation has not been
altogether satisfactory. But now with so
complete an understanding and so excel
lent an agreement the situation is materi-
ally improved. and we hope for very SUBJ
stantial benefits as a result"

A BRIEF Is FILED


An elaborate brief has been filed in the
case OF James Charles against the city
of Marion and the Warren-Scharf Asphalt
Paving Company supporting the conten-
ton that the Barrett law is unconstitu-
tional. This is the same case in which
Judge Baker declared the Barrett law un-
constitutional because it did not go far
enough. The reasons urged in the brief
are evidently based upon the opinion Of
Judge Baker as printed exclusively in the
Journal the day after he issued the re-
straining order in the above case, for each
proposition of law contained in the brief
exactly corresponds with those promul-
gated by Judge Baker in the Journal.
