Ike 4 BOYCOTT
WESTERN ROADS SAID TO HAVE
PLACED BAN ON GREAT
WESTERN
sTICKNEY IS NOT AFRAID
If 1t Is Carried Into Effect He Can
Easily Hold His Own
Against Other
Roads.

From information that has reached
this city it appears that the executive
officials of the Chicago-Missouri river
and the ST. Paul-Chicago lines at their
meeting at Chicago Monday were not
quite as harmonious as reports first in
dicated. The meeting was secret, and
therefore what actually took place was
at first impossible to get hold of. 1t is
now reported that the Chicago Great
Western road was boycotted at this
meeting, and that the offenSe which in
vited this stringent action was the per-
sistent refusal of President Stickney to
recede from his Independent attitude on
the rate proposition and agree to enter
into illegal pooling arrangements.
The boycott was intended to involve a
cutting off of rates and divisions from
the Great Western, a refusal to inter-
change through traffic with that road
and declining to check or have any bus1-
ness relations whatever with 1t.
Despite the attempt to convey the I'M
preston that everything transp1red Sc
renely at this meeting, the report has
leaked out that healthy squabble over
the manner in which rates have been
slashed took place. An effort was made
by some of the representatives, 1t is
stated, to throw all the blame for This
demoraliza ton of tariffs on the Great
Western, and the fact that the Great
Western was not represented at th1s
conference perhaps accounts for the re-
suit of the deliberations in saddling the
responsibility upon that road and pass
ing the resolution adopting the boycott.
It is probable that had Presldent SUCK.
new. or some other executive ofhclal Oh
the road, been present, the acton Would
not have been taken and would posSlp!y
not have been talked Of. 1t might, III
that event, have been proven that some
other road, instead of the Great west
ern. was the originator of this cutting CT
rates and then that road would no Coupt
have suffered the empty punishment
which has befallen President St1ckney s
line. ero,-
The meeting was directed by the imam
ciol interests which control the west
orn roads. and the object Of it was TO re-
store harmonious relations among the
roads and arrange for the maintenance
oF +ha tariff rates after the first OF the
new year. All the ROADS We're ,ls,ta',,
scented except the Chicago Great Weste eil II
