WORKING ON THE PROBLEM
Western Roads Trying to Get Together on
Passenger Rates.
AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO Be REACHED
Contention that the Position Assumed
by the Union Pacific is Con-
sistent and Its Demands.
May Be Conceded.
AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO BE REACHED

The meeting of the Western Passenger
association at Chicago has adjourned until
one week from next Tuesday. when nego-
tiations will be resumed and the effort to
bring the lines together will be continued
That the roads are not so far apart as has
been claimed is evident frim the fact that
the representatives have not already ad-
journed permanently, now that they have
have been in session over two weeks. Lo-
cal officials who have returned from the
meeting express considerable confidence in
the ability of the roads to get together and
state that the representatives of all Of them
are actuated by a sincere desire to bring
the lines together on the best possible
agreement to all concerned. The only diff
ferences are as to the manner in which this
end is to be accomplished.
1t is not denied, of course, that there are
powerful interests opposed to each other
and that these will be required to make
material concessions before results are
reached. 1t is said that the position taken
and still held by the Union Pacific is con-
sistent with that which the road has al
ways maintained and that now, perhaps for
the first time, this is coming to be generally
understood by its associates. The Union
Pacific further is not alone in it's position,
but on the contrary is fully supported in
all of its connections here in Omaha and at
Kansas City. What the representatives of
the Union Pacific demand is an agreement
in writing, complete and definite in all de-
tails, and subject only to Interpretation,
not to change, by central committee.
Secondly, the decision of the committee
must be unanimous;
A number of other roads do not want the
agreement SO complete and definite in it's
terms.
AS TO the immigrant side of the question,
1t has probably been accepted that the Union
Pacific will not come into an agreement gov
erning that branch of the business. The
reasonableness of the position of this road,
that road doing perhaps more immigrant
business than any other should be bound by
an agreement, in the making OF which roads
that carry less than half dozen immigrants
year have as much influence, may have
been conceded by the others.
There will be no committee at work dur
ing the recess of the association. II upon
coming together again no agreement can be
reached the matter will be referred to off,
cials higher up than the passenger men. 1t
Is not generally expected that such action
will be necessary.
