GOOD FOR EASTERN LINES
President Brown Satisfied with
Agreement at Washington.

President Brown Of the New York
Central lines said last night that he re-
garied the arrangement made between
the President and the executives of the
Western lines as very satisfactory for
the Western roads and equally so for the
Eastern lines The arrangement, he
said, will make it possible for the Inter
state Commerce Commission. If it de-
sires. to begin at once an investigation
of the reasonableness of the proposed
advance in Central Traffic Association
and Trunk line rates, as suggested by
the railroads some time ago, with the
understanding that the date when the
increased rates shall become effective
shall be fixed by the commission.
Although not desiring to commit him
self definitely, Mr.. Brown expressed the
hope and belief that the action which
was taken in Washington last night and
his visit TO the capital to-day would re-
suit in instructions being issued to re-
sumo work on improvements which had
temporarily been suspended.
