u Result at Deadlock.
The new combination N the result
OF the s p.'s deadlock with the South
western over the delivery 1T the
through freight nj Tucson. The de-
livery of through freight and passen-
ger traffic has taken place al III Paso
from the Rock Island Southwestern
line to the Southern Pacific In tho
past. hut with the completion OF the
Southwestern To Tucson that road OK
poctod to deliver and receive freight
and passenger traffic from and 20 the
east az Tucson. Although the south
western has been completed and has
been operating local freight and pas
senger trains over the Tucson extern
sion. no through business has been
delivered there. az the Southern Pa
cific insisted upon getting the longer
haul on through business by delivery
at va paso instead Of the Tucson
gateway
Although the Southwestern traffic
officers insist that there has been
no friction with the Southern Pacific
over this traffic arrangement, Dr.
James Douglas. president OF the
Southwestern. stated here az ono
time when the extension WAS build
/ ing that the longer haul on through
| freight 90 Tucson WAS the prinei-
pal reason for its construction.
/ Threats are reported Ia have been
made against the Southwestern that
the s. a. would charge loca., instead
of through ra-es on goods delivered
at Tucson for coast points or az
Tucson for shipment east over the
| Southwestern Rock Island This
1 would deprive the Southwestern sys-
tom of much through business AZ the
local rates would be prOhihitive on
/ through business passing through Ar
izcna aud California.
rhe traffic arrangement of the
| Southern Pacific with the orient Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Wabash makes
a necessary for the Southwestern
to huild 10 the coast or lose the coast
