Chicago, Feb. 21. The wctern roads
have assumed the acurcsslve In the war
with the Canadian Pacific road They
have thrown that road out of the Western
Immigration clearing house. The effect
of this action will be that the Canadian
Pacltle will be shut out from .artldpn
Hon In the Immigrant travel arriving at
New York and lloslon.
Acting In harmony with this action ot
the western roads, the trans-Atlantic
steamship lines, which are iwirtlcs to the
Immigrant agreement with these roads,
have cabled their agents In KurH anu
throughout the northwest not to sell uny
tickets or preiwld ord. rs calling for
tbkets over the Canadian Pacific. These
Instructions apply to nil Immigrant busi
ness. Irrcsiievtlve of where It originates
or 111 hat direction it may be. whether
cut or West.
The Southern Pacitlo r-xid Is also a par
ty to this boycott, so that the Canadian
Pacific practically has left Itself with
out friends. As a result of this action,
the Canadian Paclllc will have to rely oil
the truffle at Portland. Me., or at Cana
dian ports for Its Immigrant business.
The western roads have ulso made ap
plication at Washington to the Interstate
commerce commission for a sus;enslon ot
the long and short haul clause of (he
