NEW YORK, Nov. 21.——For years every commodity which is brought from the great productive fields of the West and south to the eastern markets for consump- tion or export has been obliged to pay ' tribute to the pcwarful railroad trust known as the Trunk Line association. By the organization of the new Joint Trafilc association, which was eflected at the meeting of the presidents and mana— gers of more than 50 railroad companies, and at which something like a thousand million dollars of capital was represented, the power of this trust was not only large- ly increasedand the territory over which it can‘exercise its powor extended, but it has placed itself ina position where it can levya still more burdensome tax upon the industries of the country. . ‘ By the high rates which the peeling ar- rangement heretofore in vogue has made possible the enormous quantities of wheat, corn, cotton, iron and other goods which have been shipped in return have been obliged to pay this tax to the raierad monopoly, and it is believed that when the railroad managers have carried out the scheme just now inaugurated and have (it well under way they will be able to make still greater extortions. ‘ In framing the agreement which has been signed by the representatives of all the big trunk lines of the country its originators have been very careful to avoid any allusion to the extension of the old pooling arrangement, which is what it really amounts to, but say that the pur- pose of the combination is to aid in fulfill- ing the purposes of the interstate come M. R. INGALLS. CHAUNCEY DEPEW. GEORGE B. ROBERTS. merce act, and to enable the various cor- porations in the trust to co-operate with each other and adjacent transportation as- sociations to establish and maintain rea- sonable and just rates, fares/rules and regulations in state and interstate traffic, and to secure greater economy in the management of the railroad systems of the country. In other words, they want to make more money out of the business by shutting out competition and establishing firmer rates. A Five Years’ Arrangement. In financial circles today the new trust is the most interesting and absorbing topic of discussion. It is ' regarded by railroad 'men as the most important and radical move that has . ever been made by the railroad magnates of this country. . The agreement is to go into efl'ect on Jan. 1, 1896, and will continue for five years. Meanwhile the agreement is to be submitted to each of the companies inter- ested, and another meeting of the mana- gers is to be held on Dec. 12, when it is expected that it will have received the . ratification of every company involved. The names of the railroad presidents who have drawn up this agreement of the Joint Traffic association and have already * signed it are: Pennsylvania system, George B.’ Rob- erts. . New York Central, controlled and allied lines, Chauncey M. Depew. Erie system, E. B. Thomas. Philadelphia and Reading, J. S. Harris, receiver. ' . Baltimore and Ohio, leased and con- trolled lines, Charles F. Mayer. Lehigh‘Valley, E.-P. Wilbur. _ Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Samuel Sloan. ' _ . Grand’Trunk system, SirCharles Rivers Wilson. - » Wabash, 0. D. Ashley. Chesapeake and Ohio and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, M. R. Ingalls. . - That all the other railroads connected with the trunk lines in their revenue sys- tems will come into the agreement and ratify it there is said to be very little doubt, and when the whole organization is complete the pool will have absolute con- trol of the traffic over the largest and. ' richest portion, of the country. , ‘ - The area affected by the new associa- tion in des not only the whole of New Engla’n ,. New York and the middle states, but all the territory lying between the seaboard and Chicago and St. Louis, the lower Mississippi valley states and all ' 'the south Atlantic-and gulf ' states. In fact, it can lay tribute on every important transportation route in the country. A. Farreaching Scheme. The rates on imports and exports o'f ' goods passing through all the great At- lantic ports will be subject to the control- ling influences of the monopoly, and it will also govern the freights on manufac- tured goOds from New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania which. are destined'for the great western mar- kets. » In other words; lit is the intention of the managers of the new pool to absolutely control both the east bound and west bound, traffic of the country. The New York Central, or Vanderbilt system, which occupies a leading place in the combination, includes'valso the Lake - Shore, Michigan Central, Nickel Plato: and the Big Four. The eight other groups in the trust are the Baltimore and Ohio, Erie, Grand Trunk, Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, the _Wabash and the Pennsylvania systems. The provisions of the new agreement authorize a division of competitive traffic, which is nothing more or less than the old division of spoils under the trunk line agreement. . ' Another feature is the abolition of inde- pendent agencies throughout the country . and the establishment of joint agencies. The joint association is to be run by a board of control, which will be selected at the next meeting, to be held on Dec. 12. There will also be a board of arbitration, consisting of these members, who will do. cide all delicate questions that may arise which cannot be settled by the board of control. ‘ , An Ironclad Agreement. In all its aspects the agreement is of an ironclad nature, the provisions of which those who have entered into it will find it very difficult to evade. In this respect it is much in re binding than the old Trunk Line association agree- ment. Each company is to deposit 85, 000 with the board of control when this agreement goes into effect. and further sums will be paid in monthly thereafter, figured upon the gross earnings of each company, which fund will be employed to keep up the organization and provide the payment of penalties that may be imposed. If any company wishes to withdraw from the agreement, it must give at least 90 days’ notice of such intention. ’ At the next meeting a board of not less than three commissioners will be appdint- ed, whose duty it will be to see that the orders of the board of control or managers are enforced. The vast amount of capital represented in the combination is shown by the fol- lowing: Capital Bonded stock. debt.

Secretary Morton’s Son Joy Said .to Have Pinched Beef Packers. CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—A local paper says: The leading packers in the stockyards, as well as the lesser ones, are worried by the Salt trust, which has been raising prices until now it seems the effect of the squeeze will cost the packers a matter of $400,000 or $500, 000 a year. . 'An interesting feature of the alfair is that Joy Morton, oldest son of Secretary of Agriculture Morton, established the Salt trust and is now making a more suc- cessful fight against the packers than his father did. Rock salt has been advanced in price nearly 100 per cent. The packers dispatched men to find out whether salt could be bought elsewhere. Their agents have returned and reported that the trust seems to. have secured ev- erything. _ Packers at the stockyards require rock salt for certain of their processes of curing. Theirconsumption amounts, it. is said, ap- proximately to- 15,000 cars annually, or nearly 800, 000 tons. The packers gave little heed to the trust, it appears, until this menth. Then they discovered that instead of $2.75 a ton they Were paying $4. 50 to $4.75 for their rock salt, The Weather. Fair; much colder; northwesterly winds. g Sweet Caporal ‘ .
