RAILROAD RAIE MEN
 10 HOLD CONFERENCE
Commercial Club Notified That Messrs. Luce and Chambers Will Be in Phoenix May 70.

There will be a very important meet ing in this city on May 10 of railroad men who stand high in the traffic de- partments oe the santa Fe and South ern Pacific and who are coming for q conference with the Maricopa coun- ty commercial club concerning rail- road rates between Phoenix and other shipping points east and west. The conference is the result of the actiVi- ties of the commercial club which plac- ed before these companies schedules showing what the club believes to be unjust discrimination in rates against this valley. and at the same time ask ing for a conference on the matter. A conference could only be granted at that time by the Phoenix representa- tives making a hurried trip to Cali fornia and it was decided to wait a more opportune time. Yesterday the club rece;~ed a telegram from H. A. Jones, traffic manager of the South ern Pacific with headquarters in San Francisco, saving:
 Referring to your letter of April goth, subject: Conference at PhOe- nix Mir. Luce will be in Phoenix about the 10th of May. at the same time Mr Chambers expects to he there and will go oyer the matter very care fully with yourself and others interest ed. If there is any change in this pro- gram Mir. Lee will advise you."
 Mir. Luce is the freight traffic manager of the Southern Pacific sys tenn and Mir Chambers occupies sim liar position with the Santa Fe. Both gentlemen have been connected with their respective companies for nearly a quarter of a cenmr.' and are famil- jar with the matters in hand. Messrs. M. O. Bicknen and Paul P Hastings who hold similar positions with the local lives will meet them here.
 The commercial club has invited the directors of the board of trade to unite with it in the entertainment of the visiting railroad men and it is de- signed if possible to gVe them bet ter idea than they now have of the wealth and resources of this valley before they approach the busienss in hand, by showing them over the val ley as d preliminary step. IL is be- lieved that when they understand by personal observation what tn" possi- bilities of the valley are they will per haps have q somewhat different view of the local situation and what the To- cal shippers are concerned about. A banquet will probably be a feature of the entertainment also.
