Chicago, H., Nov. 14.-Traffic off
cials of the Burlington have under
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
ducing coal rates from the Illinois
coal fields to the Northwest. A fiat
rate of 81 ton has been proposed.
The Burlington now receives a great

Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific, and the problem of furnishing
west bound traffic has extended to
that line as we'll as 20 the Northern
transcontinental lines.

haul many empties west owing to
the great east bound traffic. This

a remedy to inaugurate a fiat rate of
81 ton on coal from the Illinois
