AGREE TO RAISE RATES.
But Eastern Railroads Haven't De-
cided Hoe TO Go about 1t.

Another meeting of the traffic officials of the
railroads east of the Mississippi was held yes
terday at the offices of the Trunk Line Asso-
conclusion in regard to the proposed increase
in freight rates was reached and it was said
that the meetings would probably be continued
to-day and tomorrow. c. c. Mccain, chair
man of the Trunk Line Association, said after
the meeting that general increase in rates had
been practically agreed to, but the question
was how to accomplish IL.
The Illinois Manufacturers Association has
already sent a protest to the traffic officers OF
the Eastern railroads against the proposed IN
crease, and shippers, as well as commercial or
ganizations, in this and other cities in the East
and West said to contemplate similar pro-
cedure. The committee on railway transporta-
ton of the New York Board of Trade and
TRANSPORTATION, which includes among its men,
bers some of the largest manufacturers and
shippers in the country. will meet to-day TO dis
cuss the question. and, according to well in
formed persons will oppose any increase.
II is estimated that an increase OF I'D per
cent in freight rates, which is the rate OF In
crease proposed. If adopted all over the country.
would add S2OO,OOO.OOO year to the earnings
Of the railroads. Officers of the trunk lines say
that the present rates were established at
time when large volume of traffic was being
off it is impossible to show profit on these
schedules Shippers. the other hand. contend
that this is not good time TO increase rates.
