rates for buyers to New York this fall.
AS a result of the recent action OF the
Southern Pacific is granting concessions
to the Merchants association of New
York. the International and Great
Northern quickly followed the lead of
the Huntington road and the association
is confident that the Southern lines will
give them the rates they have so long
fought for. Indeed, the suggestion OF a

st. Louis. July 24.-The Southwestern
freight committee met here today Chair
man Gale presiding. All lines, members
of the association. were represented. The
object OF the meeting was to discuss the
rate situation in Texas and particularly
the changes brought about by the recent
order of the Texas commission making a
reduction of 25 per cent within the State
on carload lots OF freight, taking lower
rates into Texsrkana than to Texas com
mon points. AS this order goes into eff
feet on August the consensus of opinion
was TO submit a new classification which
would meet the approval OF the State com
mission. To do this plan was proposed
| by which interstate rates to Texas points
VIA Texarkana and Shreveport would be
equalized with local rates to all points
within the Stats.
| After lengthy discussion the following
committee was appointed to devise a plan
and sumbit 1t at the meeting to be held
tomorrow morning: w. @. Stith, freight
traffic manager Missouri Pacific; ]. A.

general freight agent International and
Great Northern. E. o. Becker, general
agent of the st. Louis committee of exc
cutive officers, was at the meeting. He
will take formal charge of the duties
of his new office on August /.
Austin. Texas, July 24.-The conference
of the FIVE railroad attorneys today with
the commission regarding the rate situa-
ton at Texarkana was barren of results
1t was conducted behind closed doors.
Afterwards it was learned that the at
torneys are violently opposed to the re-
duction and will fight it to the end. Sew
eral propositions were made, Il is said, al
a compensation for pulling down the pro
posed rate. The attorneys wired the
traffic men In session at st. Louis in ordel
to get some concessions at Texarkana b,
putting up rates into that point. The at
torneys will be here again before the rat,
goes into effect.
