Occasion.

Mr.. O. NJ. Hays, retiring general man
ager OF the Grand Trunk Railway sys-
TEN, was rendered banquet Monday
night at the Windsor Hotel In Mont
real by the members of the Montreal
Board of Trade. Among the speakers
was MIR. q. b. Reeve, the recently ap
pointed general manager OF the system,
who said that previous speakers had
covered the ground so thoroughly that
there was very LITTLE further to say in
the way OF eniogizing MIR. Hays. He
said that every change and removal
which MIR. Hays had made during his
administration had out him to the heart
lie had found the q. Il. r. on the very
verge OF bankruptcy. Since he had tax
en- hold he had raised the value of It's
securities to the extent OF $50. 600, 600
On Mr.. Hays's arrival, e. Il. X sscnri-
ties were looked upon with great sug-
picion and the road was In anything
but satisfactory condition. lie was
sorry that the British government had
not seen ut to show MIR. Hays some
mark OF appreciation. He understood,
however, that this was MIR. Hays's own
fault, and that he could have had such
an honor had he chosen ID qualify. In
stead of bidding good bye to Sir Chas.
Al. Hays, therefore, he said farewell to
plain U. NJ. Hays.

MAY JOIN IN PROTEST.
New Railway Rate Classification to
De Discussed by Directors.

A meeting of the directors of the Board
of Trade will be held at noon to-day 90
consider the advisability of joining with
the New York Merchants Association
and other mercantile bod' IS in a protest
to the Railroad Classification Committee
against the present classification of
freights.
1t is claimed that this classification is
unjust and arbitrary. and that by means
Of it the railroads have been enabled to
increase the charges on many lines of
freights without apparently increasing
the rate, the transfer of certain COM
modities from one class to another having
in some cases increased the charges al
most 100 per cent.
The territory north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers and east of the Mssis-
sippi seems 90 be chiefly affected by the
new classification, as the strongest pro-
tests are being made from that section.
The grain, PROVISION and other dealers
here, however, receiving shipments from
the West, complain that they are injuri-
ously affected by the new classification.
An attempt was made some time since
to have the Interstate Commerce Com
mission take action against the Classifi-
cation Committee on the grounds that
the committee was acting in violation of
the antitrust law. AS the Classification
Committee was brought about as one of
the results of the interstate commerce act
and has heretofore acted in harmony with
the commission, and as the act creating
the commission confers no powers upon il
relating to trusts. all that the commits
sion could do in the matter was to bring
1t to the attention of the Attorney General
as a reported violation of the antitrust
act. No results seem to have followed
this step.
The Savannah Freight Bureau having
passed out of existence, the Board of
Trade is the only commercial organiza-
ton here competent to deal with the
question. The railroad traffic men who
are members of the board have been in
vited to be present at the meeting. in
order that they may present their side
of the case.
