RAILROADS SHARED BENEFIT
Paid Atlantic Conference for
Business, Witness Saws.

An agreement between favored railroads
and the steamship companies included In
the Atlantic Conference. by which com
mercial allowances" were made TO the lines
which sold inland transportation over those
railroads to Storage passengers, was
brought out yesterday at the hearing in
the governments suit for the dissolution
OF the so-called steamship trust.
Lawson Sanford. until recently secre-
tary OF the Atlantic Conference, testified
under questions from Goldthwaite II. Dorr,
Assistant United States Attorney. that the
Western Passenger Association, composed
of railroads. worked In harmony with the
steamship lines in the combine.
The westbound traffic agreement, Mr..
SANFORD said, was first put into operation
In 1897. though 1t had been made three
years earlier. Under this agreement. he
explained, the steamship lines sold tickets
to immigrants which entitled them TO pas
sage across the ocean. and inland trans
portation to the point In this country 10
which they desired to go.
The favored railroad lines gave the
steamship lines commercial allowance"
OF 10 per cent, or 81 so a passenger. thus
directed TO the railroad. The allowance
has been now fixed at a maximum OF 81 a
passenger, Mr. Sanford said
Asked for a definition OF the expression
commercial allowance" Mr.. Sanford
gave II as a percentage on a rate, with a
maximum. He admitted that steamship
agents in Europe acted also as agents for
the favored railroads here, and that the
railroads credited the steamship lines with
a commission on the fare collected for
transportation In their territory.
The hearing was adjourned until Tues
day morning.
