Representatives of the Eastern and
Western roads will meet I'm New York to-
day to discuss the abrogation of the pro-
rating agreement. The Western men will
make a great effort to bring about the re-
instatement of that agreement, and they
believe that the trunk lines cannot close
their eyes to the injustice caused. they say,
to Chicago roads by the abrogation of this
agreement. now that actual practice has
proved, as they claim. favoring of the
st. Louis gateway. AS an instance they
cite the rates between Kansas City and
New York via ST. Louis and Chicago, re-
spectivey, the rate being cents higher via
Chicago than by way of st. Louis. Repre-
sentatives of the Eastern lines have held
a number of prelim nary meetings In an
ticipation of to-day's conference 1t is be-
lieved that some OF the trunk lines are in
favor of restoring the prorating practice,
which seems to have operated somewhat
In favor Of differential lines.
