claims to have discovered a method by
which a c~onsumptiye can cure hmself-by

the Rock Island and Atchison took the
opposite stand, saying they would rather
lose freight to Colorado than haul 1t at
the prevailing rates on certain classes.
AS is nearly always the case when rate
cutting is bad, the volume of traffic is
very large. Nearly every road is short
of cars. The congestion of freight gen.
lrally has been increased by the cold
weather for several days. Engines cam
not haul trains of usual size in such
weather, and consequently the freight
congestion increases, and the earnings
of the railroads decrease.
The freight rate war is worse in West
ern than in Eastern territory, and un-
doubtedly will continue till the end Of
the year Executive officers of both
Western and Eastern roads are to meet
Dec. 20 and take steps to prevent the rate
war from continuing after Dec. 81. In
the belief that reform will be instituted
Jan. shippers are rushing forward all
