New York. July 1s.-The presidents Of
the railroads east of the Mississippi
River met IN New York to-day, and
q throughout the day discussed the pro-
posed Increase in freight rates without
coming TO any conclusion
The parties for and against II are un-
derstood TO be very evenly divided. and
it is unlikely that definite acton viii be
taken one way or the other until they
have had more time to measure the ex-
tent OF the business bettermeut-
Al the close Of the meeting the follow
ins statement was made
The subject of freight rates was dis
cussed at length. and the report from
the. committees having IN charge the de-
taiied work OF checking the rates con
sidered. and it was found that this work
has not progressed to point that makes
definite action practicable at this time"
z H. Hartman is at the head OF the
party which favors an increase Of rates.
and he is seconded by Vice President
Brown, Of the New York Central who
stated. when the meeting broke up. that
he was as much il -avor OF the advance
now as he ever had been. Other roads
that favor this view are said 20 be the
Erie, the Delaware and Hudson. and the
Baltimore and Ohio
Taxes Greatly Increase.
In support Of this proposition. they point
out that in June. 1895. the taxes paid by
all the roads in the country were about
SsS-900oo0 A year later they were SO
elLoo9. although only 800 miles had been
added 10 the country's trackaEe. IN ad-
dition 20 that, the net earnings of all the
roads were. in 1896. about SS4.Gll.0a0 and
in 1857 about SIS O00.0o0. OF an increase Of
only 100000 in q period when gross earn
fngs advanced from S27f.00a0l0 10 $1,000
CO. or the basis Of that increase IN gross
earnings, net earnings should have made
a gain Of al least SS,000.1J3. This all gees
70 show. says the party tha- favo-s the
increase in rates. that on account Of high
taxes and the Increased cost Of labor the
roads are not getting any extra money in
spite Of largely increased service
On the other hand. the party that op-
poses the increase IN freight rates al
though agreeing in the lesson os those
figures. are in favor or seeking relief
IN a different way. In the first place. al
though il IS admitted that the Increase
in freight rates cannot at the earliest
