THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY- DECEMBER 12, 1874--TWELVEE PAGTS. 84 RAILROAD NEWIS, Tho Fight Agninst the Balti- more & Ohio. possitlo Reduction of Wages of Railroad Employes, Miscellancous 1tems, THE NEW WAR, . INE BALTIMORE 4 OBIO AND TiL BARATOOA CO3- DINATION, The announcement in yosterdey's TRIDUNE Ihat tho Saratoga combiuation had doclnrod war 1gainst tho Baltimora & Ohlo Raliroad has sausod much oxcitement fu railway and businoss sirclos. Tho movo was ontirely unoxpected, as tha beliof bnd gained grouud that tho combina- tion had givon up tho fight, and, had not tho Grand Trunk atthe last moment beon induced to jom, this bolief would probably have boen vorifiod heforo now, All tho elforts of l.ho_ com- bined ronds swould have been neutralized with an tudepondent rond on the oxtremo worth and au- othor on the oxtremo south, Thoraforo suoh lLerculean efforts wora made by Vander- bilt aud Keott o induve either one or tha other of theso roads to becomo a party to tho agreomont. 1liad the Daltimors & Oblo oincd tho combination Lut little notice would avo beew takon of tho Graud Trunk Itailwas, as this 1oad alone could have accomplishod Lut Jittle. ‘Tlso mnin object of forming tho combi- nntion was to get tho Baltimore & Olio into it, becaugo by throwing out its Lranches all ovor tho West it woy fost becoming o formidable rl- val ta the Now York lincs, 1t wag a woll-known fact that the Baltimora & Ohio had mora monny than all the New York ronda combined, and thab it could afford to carry freights at such low rates, capecially to Daltimoro, ss to seriously erip- plo New York nod its ronds, As this road, howevor, could mot Do induced to como in, tho Grand Trunk was of- fered such inducements that it finally consonted to join tho combiuntion, As ststed yestordny, the” Bultimore & Ohio was vittunlly o party to the agreement. It hnd agreed to every monsuro of the combination. 1t had abolished” Commis- sioners and free passes, and did not oven object to high rates to New Yoik, Philadelphin, Boston, and other places, Ln fact, it Hked hgh rates to thero points, What it disliked wne high rates {o Baltimura. This was tho only point which tho Baltimere & Ohio would ziot accedo to. Tho manungers claimed that thoy ind brilt tho Chicago Division to build up Daltimoro, and not to mako mouney. All tho stoek of this road being owued by tho Laltimorosns, thoy cared mors for the greatnors of their city than for aividends, Tho combination ronds, with their waterea stock and beavy dobls, woro uot ablo to compete with this lino otherwieo thiru by indue~ gt to ‘mako tho rates just a8 Ligh as tha othor ince. Tho Now York ronds conld not allow tho Balti- more & Ohio to remain master of tho situnt:n without a einglo effort, It was ovident thut tins ing to diroot the Westorn trado away from Now York to Daltimoro. This calam- ity to New York had to beaveited, and the only alleruntivo for tue New York ronds was to wago rolonticss war upon this ono, aud forco 1t 1o terms, As tho matter now etunds, tho people of this city will, _for o timo at least, havo cheap rates to tho East. o rates sdopted by (bo combiuation yesterdny sre o8 low as those of iast summer, whon therd was cousiderablo competition from tho various stoamboat-lines, snd there is a probability that they will bo made still lower beforo tho fight i over. I'io Baltimore & Olio announced yesterday that its razos will, for the prosent, bo iho snmo s thoso of the combination. This action haa caused considerable surpriso, as 1t was genorally oxpected thit this road would make its rates to Iinltimore still lower than those of the combina- tion. By this it must, howaver, not be inferred that tho Baltimore & Otio has given up tho fight. On tho contrary, it is well understood that this road now intends to inaugurate n differ- ont kind of waifare, Dy the terms of tho Saratogn ngreemont, tho roads that sigaod it ars ot allowed to make drawbneks or rebatea on ireights, but the Baltimore & Ohio, being independont, cau do as it pleases, although it had promised thut, in case it should bo lot alono by the combinution, it would not make rebates or drawbacks on freights. While the tariff of this road is apparently tho samo now ug thut of the combiuation, still it is well unds stood that such robates will bomade on Dalti- moro rates as to leavo tho Baltimoro & Obio etill in tho most favorablo position. What tho com- ‘Dined roads will now do in regard to this mattor iu still a mystory. Somecthing haa to bo dono to meet the usdvéraary, but whethor it will boa uedifieation of tho rale prohibiting rebates, or whether the tariff will bo made still lower, will Do daveloped in o day or two. THE ATTO ENERAL OF NEW YORK. Vanderbilt and Jowett, two of the loaders of tho Suratogn combination, hinve just cucountered another onemy, which muy, in @ gieat menstire, Telp tho Baltimore & Obio to carry off the vie- tory. 'Lhis now cuemy istho Attornoy-General w York,wholias just brought suit against tho o and Now Yorl Central Ratlionds for hinviug ‘eutercd iuta a combinution contrary to the Inwg of the Staio of New York.

Bav tho present_combiuntion was not for tho pur- poso of dividing or combitng suytling. In fact, it _is mot o combiuntion ut ull; itis werely a confederation ol various rouds for tho purposo of carrying out certuin roforms nud to maintain uniforin rates. Should tho combination be ablo Lo weather the storm and nuccc!sfi])lf; vanquish ity adversaries, tho roforms thut will bo inaugurated will astou- iuh tho marives.

'The property of the Tindskopts, which was tlvat “acized,” wos, after n fow days, tated to be meroly bold fomporarily, ponding an_ investigation into cortain charges, What thoso charges wore, nobody could discover, until theso proceedings commoticed. Al that timo Senator Carpentor was moving hienven and earth to manipulute the mlu:l.\hlor'y of Govornment to suit his own purposes.
