JOINT PASSENGER MEET.
Takes Steps to Prevent Western
Rate War

New York, May 3--The Times says:
The joint passenger commission has
held an extraordinary meeting in this
city, at which an attempt was made to
prevent the rate war which. it is said,
the recent action Of some Of the western
roads threatens to precipitate. The trou-
Bile arose over the announcement of the
Chicago & Alton and other western lines
entering Kansas City that they would
apply the differentia1 rates used by the
Wabash railroad and other members Of
the Western Passenger association over
the dinerential lines from Chicago east
ward to tickets reading over the stand
ard lines. The rate from Kansas City to
New York via any of the differential
lines. such as the Lackawanna, Lehigh
Valley, West Shore and others. is $29.y5.
while the rates from the same point via
the New York Central is sS1. The de-
sire Of the western lines to apply the
differential rate over the standard lines
was brought to the attention Of the joint
passenger committee through a charge
made against the Lake Shore to the eff
feet that it had sanctioned this rate hy
agreeing to bear part Of the reduction
involved.
At the meeting it appeared that the
charge was unfounded. the Lake Shores
representative being able to prove that
his line had no share in the making Of
reduced rates At the same time the
opinion was expressed almost unani-
nOus1y that unless this rate was recall
ed a rate war among the western lines
would be inevitable. 1t was decided 10
take steps to prevent this. and reso1u-
tions were adoptedy asking the lines OF
the Western Passenger association to
send representatives to a conference
which the joint passenger committee
viii. If it be held, attend in body. The
conference proposed by the meeting will
be held at as early date as possible.
The meeting was attended by the gen
eral passenger agents and traffic man
ayers Of all the railroads belonging to
the Trunk Line and Central Traffic asso-
citation
