NEW YORK MERCHANTS.
Trying Again to Get Reduced Rates
From Southwestern Territory

j. NJ Langley. president of the New York
Nero hants Association. was IN the cit!
yesterday and had conference with Chair-
man &. VI. Pratt of the Southwestern Pas-
Senger Bureau relative to reduced rates for
the New York merchants meetings in the
spring As the Central Passenger Asso-
citation and the Western Passenger Asso-
citation have turned down the New YORK
merchants propositions for reduced rates.
il is not probable that the Southwestern
Bureau can make any concessions
Tire New York Merchants Association
made bold bluff last summer to secure re
,iuCed rates from Texas points. All kinds
of threats were made. hut to no avail. FL
nally the Southern Pacific was induced to
put in an individual rate TO all points along,
its system. using the water lines from New
sociation stipulated. however that all
freight must he shipped from New YORK
via the Southern Pacific.
Since then the Infringement of the SOUTH
ern Pacific has materially changed hancs.
and IL is probable that the same cOnceS-
sions cannot be obtained. at present; hence
Mr.. i.anEIey's visit here to make overture
with Southwestern lines.
As was stated by IL prominent Western
traffic man, at the time of the fight last
ask reduced rates from Texas points than
ST Louis has 10 ask them from New Eng
land territory.
The Southwest" as he said. is properly
tributary to 81. Louis. Chicago ard Kansas
city. Its markets are ample 10 supply all
demands. and New York merchants. who
know they have lost their trade in this sec
tion are bold and im?Udent. when they
make threats to secure reductions from the
railroads "
The regular quarterly meeting of the
Southwestern PaSSe Eyer Bureau Will be
held on January 2. when the application of
the New York Merchants Association will
probably meet the same fate as it has
heretofore
