VIII the advance really be made. In the race or

and shippers throughout the country or have
the railroads overestimated their strength and
unanirnity OF purpose and are they now taking
an easy method Of receding from their position?
Manufacturing and commercial associations
are awaiting answers to these questions. but
they are slow In coming. The conference be-
tween the heads of the great railroad systems
held in New York Thursday and Friday of
last week for the purpose of deciding upon an
advance in rates. was expected to determine the
issue and to give the commercial and industrial
interests an answer to their protests. How

railroads, agreement was reached on the
problem of raising rates, and the conference
adjourned without arranging for another meet

The result apparently is first blood for the
shippers. The conference was divided into two
strong camps. Hartman and his associates In

and baer and McCrea vigorously opposing the
move the ground of inexpediency. Facts and

unanimity received a setback.
