This Important action was taken by tho eastern trunk llnes beoause here- tofore Commlssioner Fink was per- mitted to direct the route for west bound California business. Since the extenslon of the Southern Paclfic to New Orleans, Contral Pacific people have been diverting all the bosiness they conld to go by steamer to New Orleans and thence by rall to San Franclsco. Besides this, the Contral Pacifio, for many years past, has made countracts with Caltfornis shippers, who pledge them- selves to make no shipments wha by the Paclfic Mall Steamship line, glving them rates about one-third of the publiched tariff rates. Thua a shipper who would not make exclusive ocontracts with the Central Paclfic was charged about three times as high rates a8 other shippers who did make a contract with that road. The trank lines have pro rated on contract rates thus sacrificing much of thelr earnings on nsuch bueiness. Hoereaftor they will charge thelr full proportisns on puhliflheg tariff rates Oa account of this action the roads from Chicago and Mlssisslppt river points west will have to stop thelr pro-rating arrangement with the Pa- cific ronds also, as they cannot afford to accept a pro-rate only on contract rates, and then pay the eastorn roads thelr tull proportlons of published rates, After dlscueslng the matter for some time, during which opinions wore freely exprossed that the action of the trank lines was jast and proper and calcalated to break up the diserlminatton heretofore practiced by the Central Pacific, the commissloner wao instructed to rcquest the varlous Pacific roads west of the Missourl river to mest the Iowa truok lines in this olty next Tueaday for the purpose of wking definlte action In regard to this matter, It was also decided to hold & meeting next, Tagsday with representatives of the Ualon Pacifio, Burlington & Missourl River, Sloux City & Pacltic,.and Northern Paclfie to agree fipon rates for live atock from Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska and to lo;:n apool on this business if pos- sible.
