New York Meeting was Practically

New York Meeting Was Practically
Barren.
After two DAYS session at the Holland
house. New York. the executive board OF
the southwestern traffic bureau adjourned
to reconvene at st. Louis on February I'll
Various questions. relating chiefly 10 de-
tails OF the operation of the bureau. were
discussed at the meeting here and were
disposed OF to the satisfaction OF the gem
tiemen present. The present articles of
agreement were continued in effect with
out change or amendment OF any sort. aud
members OF the board expressed the belief
tnat the present condition as to the main
tenance OF rates and the observance OF the
status quo would continue.
Inc restrictions placed upon pooling. It
was held, do not affect the Southwestern
trainc bureau and the members OF the
board feel that their position is secure.
The meeting was entirely harmonious
and was largely attended.
II has been reported that tho executive
oihcers of the Southwestern railroads were
to meet in New York to discuss the ratio
situation, but II is denied that any such
meeting is in contemplation. The rate
situation in the Southwest is declared by
railroad men from that section TO be en- =
tireiy satisfactory. and II there is any
movement on foot to evade tho supreme
court decision by organizing an assoca-.
ton along the lines OF the old Joint Traf-;
nc association the fact is carefully con-.
sceaIed. 56s4
Globe- Democrat. ,:s
After a five-day session In New York
the Transcontlnental association adjourned
last Saturday. The meeting Is understood
to have been absolutely barren OF result,
both in the direction of reorganizng the
association and OF restoring freight rates
TO Pacific coast points No date was set
for the next meeting, and 1t is doubtful
when the roads will get together again.
The main purpose of the meeting was to
arrange for reorganization of the assoc
citation In order that nothing In Its articles
OF agreement might be found to clash with
the supreme courts decision In the Joint
Traffic association case. II WAS. however,
found impossible to reach any unanimous
understanding upon this point. Another
object of the gathering, the placing of
rates to the Pacific coast upon perma-
nent and satisfactory basis, had also to be
abandoned. The chief obstacle met with
was the competition of the water lines
with the Southern Pacific on transconti-
mental business out Of San Francisco The
Southern Pacific and the vessel men arc
at continual warfare, with the result that
the railway, In order to get any business
to the Atlantic seaboard at all, is often
compelled to put in pretty low rates. While
these conditions exist the roads find 1t hard
to maintain rates on anything like a re-
munerative basis.
The Northwestern lines represented at
the meeting managed to get together upon
rates to Montana points and to Spokane.
to which places there Is great deal of
competitive business.
