FREIGHT RATE CONFERENCE.
Outcome of Resolutions Adopted at Last Fri
days Meeting in Chicago.

Chicago. May ia joint conference between the
commercial and industrial interests of the country
and the railroads of the East, to consider the whole
question OF advanced freight rates from all points
of view is assured. That this conference will prob
ably lead to submitting the issue either President
Roosevelt, the Interstate Commerce Commission or
impartial board of arbitration for final deci-
sion is also likely. according to the opinions of
railroad men expressed yesterday.
Apparently the olive branch of peace, rather than
the club either of which alternatives pre-
sented by the shipping interest in the resolutions
which the outcome Of last Fridays conference,
will be the choice Eastern railways
While 1t is probable the necessity of the railroads
for more revenue either through advanced freight
rates reduced wages will be considered in a con-
ference with all phases of the problem. it
probable that contingent reduction OF wages will
be considered if the issue is left for arbitration
binding decision with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The commission has no power to fix
or determine any phase of the wage question, and
therefore only consider whether advance in
rates is just and reasonable The threat of
duced wages is regarded by manufacturers and
shippers easily threatened than
