A majori- ty of the Board agouts, howevar, were opposed to tho ¢arifl proposad by the National Board, aml would bave preferred to work under the still lowor tarift previously adopted by the Local Board, The vote on adopling tho tariff was 1d to 11, but a Iarge portion of the majority would have voled with the minority had they uot feared to loso the sgencles of their companios by so doing. Much creditts duo to the aleven who voted sgainst the Board, and thus riskod thoir occupa- tions, Ono would think that common decenc; would prevent tho partisans of the National Board in the Local Bosrd from rovealing the names of theso men, and siogling thom out for tlhio spits of that body. But such is not tho case. The Cbicago Board, like most others, contains re- marksbly mean men, whostand always ready to de- stroy thoso who differ from them, aud drive them out of business, Hoveral lotters have asiready beon receivad from New York Lv some of the agents, stating thoy had beon reported as voting agninet the National Board tanff, and raquoste ing them to give an oxplanation of their action.
