During this wholo controversy it has scomod tame that the position of tho Eastorn trunk Ynog has been misconstrued or misrepresented, mey bave been inade te appear as arbitrary gcoundrels, WbO anid, Stand and deliver” with- out any caus whatovor for tho demand, Aga railroad man without a particle of per- onal intercat fn tho ight, allow mo, to say that hero oro tivo aides to this question, and, unloss we Western ‘Trouk Lincs Associntion Eastern and Ming Hine y, candidly, and in a busincss-tlko calms yaiders ‘tho two sides, tis.

In tho ons ce, niong tus nyo the Presidents nnd General Managers of tho Westorn Ines wero presented by the Eastern trunk snes with cer- fin fucts {tv relation to tho forelgn omfarant business, Which fucts mado it apparent to tho Western muungers that t porcentige should be plowed upon the ticket ales to emigrants, bo- causo the Enstera lincs boro all tho expense of European advertising. and pufd the stoamubip {ines 10 or nore per cont upon oyery tlekot sold fromsoaport to destination. Cyluily consider. mx these facts, the mangers of tho Weetera ines agrovd to allow n percentage, Acting upon thisagreement, the Eastern trunk ines, In 1880, made thelr contracts In Europe and with etenm> ablp lines for 1881, and assumed that it was satle~ factory to thelr Westarn conneations, Meantimo the Western Trunk Lines Assocla- ton was formed, and, os an fasocin- ton must hive an object, tho gentio- men seeing nothing olso to bo falnod, by tae compact, formod tho purpose of demanding from tho Bustern trunk lines, that they no longer retain n percontayo from ‘cnilgrant busl= peas, but that thoy must bear nll the expenses Incident to collecting tho business, although thelr haul of the sumo should bo but « amall por eentof the total. In effect, said the Wosiern trunk lines, ** Wo aro bound togothor—wo are a unit-and as you cannot put the emigrant through to destination without our ald, we pure 10 ignore ullof yortr Inbor, sucrifies, aud. expenss and make you give us our rates, whether you net anything from the busiuoss or flave the Western Trunk-Linca Association's General Passonger Agents ever stopped to cone alder tho fuut that the Enstorn trunk lines bave Wen encouraging and foatoring einigrauon from Burope for years—that tholr pald agents and tholr paid Iiteratury bive found thelr way Into every bamlet of Europe, causing throngs of people to seek those shores and build up tho communities and States that now mako possiblo the Western tines? . When tho Western lings say that’ on business thoy originate In tho West they do not nek tho Eastern Hnes to pay a perecntago, thoy muke no yatd argument ngainst tho Bastern ties, Thore isnoparalicl or pertinency in tho distinetidon. Asthe Eastern trunk Ituey create bustuess tn forelgn countries, the Westera Hnos do not creata in this country, and the yolume of busl- ness Is far groiter from const to weat than from westtoonat.
