IOWA CENTRAL wITHDRAws.
Believed to Foresbadow Demorau-
zntion in Passenger Rates.
Especial to The Post)

Chicago, August 3O.--General Passenger
Agent George S. Batty has given notice
of the withdrawal OF the Iowa Central
from the Western Passenger association,
assigning as a reason the alleged failure
OF Western lines to keep their agreements
and to observe the rules of the asrooia-
ton While Mr.. Batty does not so state,
1t is understood by well informed pas
senger men that the Iowa Central will in
the future feel free to act independently
when there is reason TO believe that
there has been a cut in rates.
General opinion seems to be that the
detection Of the road, which was not alto
gather unexpected, Will result in serious
Generalization Of passenger rates in
Western territory. Many assert that II
is the entering wedge to the dissolution
of the Western Passenger association and
call attention to the fact that with tho
Iowa Central, the st. Paul the Wisconsin
Central and the Minneapolis and st. Louis
roads out Of It, the DEGREES Of the as
ISOLATION will have no effect.
