CUT RATES ABOLISHED.
The Canadian Pacific Yields Under
Threuts of Competition.

CHICAGO. Feb 2S-The threat of the
executive officers of the trans-continental
railroads in this country to establish
steamship lines from the Pacific Coast to
the Orient has induced the Canadian
Pacific to abolish its practice of making
trans continental freight rates 10 per cent
less than those of the lines in the United
States. At today's session of the executive
officers and leading traffic officials of all
the trans continental lines the Canadian
Pacific representative attempted TO evade
the rule issue on various pretexts. while
the officers of the lines Of the United States
demanded an unequivocal answer TO the
question, will you strictly maintain the
same trans continental rates as we do?'
The Americans declared that unless the
Canadian Pacific stopped trying to Sc
cure differential rates on traffic, efforts
would be made TO secure legislation which
would debar the Canadian Pacific from
participating in United State traffic and
also TO establish steamship lines to COM
pete with those of the Canadian Pacific
This threat proved effective, and the Ca
madam Pacific gave satisfactory assurance
that it would stop its practice of cutting
rates and maintain those of competing
lines to all Pacific Coast places.
The lines OF the United States did not
bind themselves to guarantee all freight
for the Orient to the Canadian Pacific
steamship lines in case other lines are es-
tablished but the unders landing was that
the railroads of this country would not
establish such new steamship lines.
