RAILROAD FIGHT STOPS
 FRISCOAT NEW ORLEANS

Houston, Tex, to New Orleans The effect of the two contracts togeth CT was to give New Orleans two new trunk lines-one north and south and the other east and west.
 Anticipatin the possibility of one company controlling both roads, the contract with the Colorado Southern stipulated that its rental should in any and every event be cumulative, and in addition to what the Frisco was to pay. One year ago last April the road was leased in perpetuity to the Frisco. The latter is accused of refusing to com ply with the terms of it's own contract or to give the Illinois Central or Yazoo and Mississippi Valley the switching privileges agreed upon, and with having sought to hold them to performance under the terms of the contract of the Colorado Southern only, for the purpose, it is alleged of escap- ing it's own switching contract.
 On the ground that the trains offered to 1t by the Frisco when the latter sought to open it's New Orleans line were Colorado Southern trains the Illi- nois Central would not permit their acceptance at Baton Rouge for itself or it's controlled line the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, unless they were designated as Frisco trains. This de- mand not being compiled with, the trains, which fortunately were freight, could not be transferred from the barge upon which they were loaded for Baton Rouge, and the new line could not be fully opened. Both sides stubbornly refused to yield and fhe Colorado South ern officials would not discuss the situation or give any ex- planation
 It was said that the Frisco would abrogate the Colorado Southern con- tract and carry out the one. made for itself. but the Southern, which is a joint owner with it of the New Orleans terminal, objects to a strong competitor like the Illinois Central having the benefit of the terminal facilities, as it would be entitled to do under the con tract made with the Frisco in 1903. So it seems really to be more of a fight of the Illinois Central and the South ern.
 The situation suggests that an ad- Justment cannot be reached except through the courts. In that event the Frisco can, pending final decision make arrangements with the Louisiana Rail- way and Navigation for tracl<age rights into New Orleans from Baton Rouge or it may seek control of that line. There have been rumors that it already has such control. These rumors are de- nied. The line of the Louisiana Rail- way and Navigation extends from Shreveport to New Orleans, BOA miles.
