PLAN GREAT CONTEST.
Western Railroads Propose to Break
the Hold the Industrials Have
on Them.

Chicago, Nov. 4-The ~executice of.
fcials OF western roads have deter
mined to break the hold which indus
trial railroads have on them and there
81 prevent further cutting of their rev
enues.
AT a meeting held yesterday a COM
mittee appointed for the purpose of in
vestigating the matter reported in fa-
vor of discontinuing the payment to in
dustrial roads of 20 per cent. of the
through rate for the delivery of bust
ness to the various lines. In place of
| the division of the rates, which is cost
ing the roads of Chicago more than
50. OO0, 900 annually. practically without
any service, ii was recommended hat
the payment be hereafter based on reg
ular switching tariffs.
BY the adoption OF the report the
compensation which the industrial
roads will get for delivering to the rail-
roads cars loaded with the products OF
the companies controlling the industrial
roads will vary between So n Sc, ac-
cording to the distance.
In the discussion it was said that If
this was not done the roads would soon
be compelled TO make two rates. a low
rate for industries which did not have
allied railroads and a higher rate for
industries which do have them. Other
wise the smaller industries Woul be
driven out of business.
The organization OF the Industrial
roads came after the cutting off OF re-
bates. Large manufacturing compan-
les, like the International Harvester
company. organized railroad comphn-
les to W and control switching tracks
and Their demanded q division of the
through rates for delivery OF cars load
ed with their own products.
The interstate commerce commission
recently made an exhaustive investiga-
ton during which j.. T.. Marchand
showed that the railroads were COM
PEELED to pay millions annually 10 big
trusts and industries for a service
which the latter formerly performed
free or the railroads performed free for
them. No decision has been given in
the case.
