II ckeon has written a letter to tbe trlobe in. reference to the com plaints made by American railways against the Grand Trunk aud Canadian Pacific. He says : ''Their complaint is not well founded and it ia no secret that their desire is to prevent the Canadian Pacific ..ompeny from carrying us traffic all, and not that they should be subject in their traffic arrange ments to the provisions of the inter-state commerce act. Tie Canadian companies, from rha date when the inter-state com nerce act came into effect, have recognized that it was incjmbent on them in dealing with traffic trom the United Stales and Canada, or traffic passing through Canada from one state to tt e another of the United States, to observe the terms of the inter-state act." Sir Joseph concluded as follows : "After a somewhat extensive ex perience I am preprepared to assert that the Canadian companies do not derive lrom the bperation of the act any advantage whatever over their United States competi tors.
