Chicago, Feb. 22-With a difference
Of only l y mills between them in the
division of the freight rates on export
grain from Missouri ariver points to the
Atlantic seaboard, eastern and western
railroad officials were unable to reach
all agreement yesterday.
Last night it was rumored in grain
and transportation circles that the dan
ger of a break, in the ranks Of the west
ern lines was becoming more imminent,
inasmuch as the offer Of the eastern
lines practically is what some Of the
westerners thought they ought to have
out of the business.
Coincident with the announcement
that the difference had narrowed to
such an insignificant amount came the
report that the western men had re-
fused to submit the case to arbitration.
This was explained by one man who has
taken an important part in the negotia-
tions as due to the fear that the award
Of the arbiters might not be as favor
able as the offer Of the eastern lines
and that an agreement without arbi-
tration is not entirely out the question

JcGrnal Special Service.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The threatened
wargare between Chicago railroads hay
ing lines between Chicago and the twin
cities promises to involve the Chicago
Kansas City and Chicago Omaha lines if
a cut in rates is made. For this rea-
son passenger traffic officials are anx-
ious to avert trouble and hope to pacify
the Great Western before it reduces
rates.
The position taken by the railroad
officials is, that if the Great Western
reduces the basing rate to the twin
cities to $1,000, it will make that re-
duction on the Pacific coast business
and will at once place the twin cities at
an advantage over other transcontinen-
tai gateways. This will, Of course, be
followed by a reduction in the rates to
Kansas City and Omaha.
