pany. This conference decided upon a
reduction Of Is cents per ton in trans
charges per ton. 30 cents in all, and
the decision was communicated to the
Commercial club in this city.
"We have worked quietly and con-
servatively," said President Johnson of
the club, "aud the result obtained was
brought about by negotiations in which
there was no bitterness of feeling, nor
resort to threats
'.The credit for bringing about the
reduction, said Mr. Allison, "is due
entirely, I think, TO the gentlemen of
the Commercial club. who presented the
situation so clearly to the railroad OF
icials and the coal company officials
They handled the matter reasonably and
conservatively, and the action OF the
companies, ! think, is due to their ef-
forts
