BIG TRUSTS WAR
Contest on Between Sugar and Steel
Combines and Western
Roads.
FREIGHT RATES ARE PUT UP
Move to RetaIiate and to Secure Sta
biIity in Transportation
Charges.

Chicago, Aug 1.-Two of the great
trusts of the country have found an
opponent of their own magnitude at
last. There is a fight between the
steel and sugar combines. on one side.
and a combination of the western rail
roads on the other
The declaration of war reached the
Chicago representative of the big
trusts yesterday, following a meeting
of the railroad freight agents Tuesday.
1t was simply that hereafter the prod
ucts of the two concerns named must
pay the full freight tariffs. without any
rebate, secret or open, on all western
lines.
Decree of High Officials.
1t was not the freight agents who
promulgated the decree against the
two mOnopolies; they were only the
mOuthpiece for the highest railway
officials in the country. and it is claim
ed the decision was arrived at after
long deliberatiOn, and that il is backed
by an irOnclad agreement TO which
every trans-Mississipp road in the
country is a party.
The notice of the revocation of all
rebates TO the sugar trust was given
Tuesday.
Hereafter" the agents said. "the
sugar companies will be considered as
ordinary shippers on all western
lines" and then refused to hear the
arguments of the trust representatives
as to why special rates should be
continued
Trusts Advance Prices.
Among the railroad men the 10 point
jump yesterday in the prices OF all
grades of refined sugars by both the
SpreckeIs and the Arbuckle crowds
announced from New York. is thought
to be the result of the action of the
railroads, to compensate them for the
expected advance in freight rates the
revocation of rebates means.
The advance of steel Tates-Or its
equivalent, the revocation of rebates
was made yesterday, when notice
was given to the representatives of
the United States Steel corporation
that hereafter they VIII have to pay
the same tariff as the little manufac-
turers.
Had Double 7Iotive.
In cutting off the rebate privileges
of the steel trust the railroads were
actuated by a double motive. They
claim, through the officers, that they
are sincere in their effort to bring
about their stable rates. and, secretly,
they want revenge on the steel com
bine.
For years the railroads have been
held up by the trusts. practically at
the mouth of a cannon, for outrageous
prices. paying $2S ton for the same
rails that have been sold in Russia
Germany and anywhere over the seas
for $50 a ton, and they have grown
tired of the robbery. 1t is also limited
that a number of the big railway mag
mates want a little private revenge out
of the steel crowd. having been pinch
ed" by the recent slump in United
States Steel stocks.
