HARMFUL TO BUSINESS.
California Roads Adopt Measures That
Will Seriously Hamper Trade.

Los Angeles, Nov. 29.-The Herald
today says: After seeking for the
past three years to come to some un-
derstanding with southeastern lines in
! regard to an adjustment of freight
rates the tranScontinental freight b l.
reau lines have determined upon a
final move and today will notify ship
pers throughout California that Begin
ming with December Is they will can
eel all rates now in effect in connection
with southeastern roads for traffic to,
from or passing through Pacific coast
terminals on one hand and to. from or
passing through points east of the
Mississippi. Exceptions to this ruling
are the lines of the Illinois Central, the
Mobile & Ohio and the Kansas City,
Memphis & Birmingham railroads.
The effect of the decision. by which
citrus growers are practically exclud-
ed from the sale of their fruit in six
of the eastern states will be severely
felt in other lines of business, it means
that with the exception noted fruit
growers, in addition to paying through
rate, will be forced to pay the local
rate that is in effect east of the Mis-
sissippi river and if the fruit finds no
market in the city to which it is con-
signed the shipper must either let it
rot or pay an additional local rate to
any other city to which it is con-
signed.
The states in the east affected by
this ruling are: Kentucky, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia and MISSISSIPPI
out to the citrus growers comes the
same conditions for shippers of canned
goods, dried fruits and wines from this
section of the country and in return a.
raise in prices on the Pacific coast of
cotton goods, tobacco. furniture and
other staples which are received in
large quantities from the states in
question.
The southeastern lines started the
quarrel several years ago by demand
ing larger amount of the freight re-
ceipts than the transcontinental lines,
justly or unjustly, believed they are
entitled to. During the past two years
three meetings have been called in the
hope that the difficulty might be over
come and an agreement reached
which would be satisfa Glory to all per-
sons concerned.
The last meeting was held in Chi
cago September %, but representatives
of the different roads failed to agree.
The breaking off of connections comes
as result.
1.-THE transcontinental lines have
been drawn into this against their
wishes said an official of one of the
big systems last night, land they regret
the action that has been taken as
much as will the shippers 1 think
that they would be willing to arbitrate
the question, but it does not seem pos
sible. How long this is to last 1 do
not know

Editor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
In the article sent in this week, l
referred to the Middlesex and Somer-
set Traction Company, which runs
between Metuchen and New Bruins
wick, and not the Raritan Traction
Company, which gives us excellent
service, for which we must give them
credit, but as the annoyance and dis
comfort from the Midd1esex & Somer-
set Company's mismanaged road is
keenly felt by the commuters from
oul town, I think it is high time that
the railroad officials attention is call
ed to it.
