Freight and Passenger Rates.
The Toledo. st. Louis and Western with
drawing from the Eastbound Freight Com
mittee at ST Louis is Interpreted by traffic
men as very clear intention on the part
of the management TO unscrupulously cut
freight rates. which It could hardly do
without getting into serious trouble-if its
membership Were maintained says the In
dianapolis Journal. To carry out a policy
of this character with iInpunity would ne
cessitate the taking of this step. The clos
ing of the roads Eastern agencies, as was
predicted. has seriously cut down its west
bound tonnage. 1t was intimated at the
time the new management took hold that
1t was determined To have business, and II
it could not be obtained IN the manner
proposed without continuing the Eastern
soliciting force drastic measures would be
adopted to compel recognition from connec-
tionS. 1t is understood that the meeting
called in Cincinnati by President Ingalls, OF
the Big Four is to consider the stand the
Glover Leaf has taken in Withdrawing from
the freight committee at st. Louis and its
.ntimation that hereafter 1t would be a free
lance In rates Should the road assume a
stubborn and arbitrary position and make
unreasonable demands. It is anticipated, 1t
will certainly lead to an ugly rate war
that Is likely to affect passenger as wei! IS
freight business.

Free Trun.portatiou.

The meeting which was recently held in
St. Louis by the executive officials of the
the pass agreement. was reported to have
been harmonious In an unusual degree, says
the Railway Review. While 1t is conceded
present time to abolish the Issuance OF
free transportat ton, IT is very plainly ap-
parent that the number of such issues are
growing less each year. which fact gives
promise that in not very distant future
free transportation will be thing of the
past. In view of the manifest advantages
which would accure from the total aban-
donment of the practice, II seems strange
that some railroad men are not willing TO
assume more radical attitude in connec-
ton with the matter. There Is TO doubt that
the amount Of revenue lost by continu-
ance of the practice is much greater than
would be the case il a direct reduction In
rates was made to control the business that
issue OF free transportation-a practice that
would not now be defended by any one
