TO CONFER ON RATES.
Whole Question to Be Threshed Out at
Joint Meeting.

Chicago, May ia joint conference be-
tween the commercial and industrial in.
terests 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
probably will lead to submitting the issue
either to President Roosevelt, the inter-
state commerce commission or an impair
tial board of arbitration for final decis-
ION. also is likely. according to the opin-
ions of railroad men.
Apparently the olive branch of peace
rather than the war club, either of which
alternatives was presented by the ship
ping interests in the resolutions which
were the outcome of last Fridays confer
ence, will be the choice of the eastern rail
roads.
While it is probable the necessity of the
railroads for more revenue, either through
advanced freight rates or reduced en-
ployes' wages, will be considered in a con-
ference with all phases of the problem, 1t
is not probable that a contingent reduc-
ton of wages will be considered if the
issue is left for arbitration or a binding
decision with the interstate commerce
commission. The commission has no pow
er to fix or determine any phase of the
wage question, and therefore can only
consider whether an advance in rates is
Just and reasonable. The threat of re-
duced wages is regarded by manufacture
ers and shippers as a measure more easily
threatened than put into effect.
