ids and Iowa City Electric Light and
Power Company, engaged in operating
an interurban between Cedar r pids
and Iowa City, had brush with the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific yes
terday over a matter Of freight rates
and the visiting delegates to the State

selves the victims of the difficulty.
The steam road refused to honor the
left competing lines at Cedar Rapids
and come to the university city over the
electric unless they returned to Cedar
Rapids and purchased tickets from
that place to Iowa City over the Rock
Island line. After a very heated dis
cussion the association was forced to
comply with the situation despite all
efforts on the part of the interurban to
secure a more equitable adjustment
of the matter. About $45 had to be ex-
pended in purchasing tickets they new
err expected to use, before they could
secure the advantage of the rate and

in every way successful The officers

lows:
