with the action of the national Executive
and the railroad committee
IF my understanding Of the result OF
the conference is correct, the railroads ana
shippers have no differences now, said
Henry L Nudge, president of the Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. All dlI-
ferences seem to have been swept away oy
the agreement TO leave the matter entlreiy
in the hands of the Interstate Commerce

of all this disturbance will be that the
railroads will raise their rates; whether
the advance will be as large as originally

proposed increases we're not great-prob-
ably less. than per cent on all the COM

rates were left unchanged.
