According to the summons sent
broadcast among the eastern rail-
roads. the conference was to be
held for the purpose Of ratifying
a proposed increase in rates." Be-
fore it was over, however, the dove
of peace was the only absent sym
Two railroads refused absolutely
to be bound by an agreement to
the proposed increase, declaring
that it was unwise, In the face of
nationwide agitation against the
high cost of living and the pending
railroad bill in congress. These
railroads were the Canadian Pa
cific and the Grand Trunk, both of
which are owned for the most part
in England and negotiate their
loans independently of Wall street.

were amenable when J. PierpOnt
Morgan was appealed to by cable
to apply needed pressure. No less
than three cablegrams were sent
to him, and his reply crushed out
all insurgency.
The kickers had it pointed out to
them that Wall street could refuse
loans % shippers who made too
much fuss. 1t was pointed out as
an instance of the success of this
means of silencing restless ship

vented many manufacturers and
shippers from attending meeting
at Chicago, called a week before, to
kick on western rate boosts. AS for
the consumer-THAT'S YOU, MIR.

freight rates, anyhow, and would
never find out what was being

How the shippers will receive
this information is problematical.
DELEGATIONS from no less than three
organizations Of manufacturers
and shippers have been standing
with hat in hand for more than a
month. expecting to be called into
general rate conference with
eastern railroads.
Assurances were required from
those who pledged support to the
increase that they would immedi-
ately set their forces to work
checking and adjusting rates. There
was to be no publicity and as soon
as the checking is completed the
notice of increase will be filed with
the interstate commerce commits

Once the notice OF increase is
filed with the commission the rail
roads will have won their point,
for shipper must lose money be-
fore he can prove he has lost 1t,
and he must be able to prove this
before he can attack an advance
in railroad rates. The one fear of
the railroads is that enough ship

plan and thus arouse public senti-

congress into passing amendments
to the commerce law that would
play havoc with their plans.
As soon as the railroads realized
that congress might pass some rail
road legislation they began boost

with the insurgents. even though
the Taft bill was drawn by their
own Alr. Wickersham.
