erally sluired i by freight representa
tives and other railroad men In this
city. That the abseuee from the con-
frteiH-e of representatives of toe North'
iu lacltBe''was more or less of an In
leutioual slight, and tluit it forHwnled
H for the fuure of lie St. Paul ctiui

This stateiUMitv was made Very cm
phtitieally and as it ii ha nil y probable
thar the other 'roads will organize a

may have to be abandoned. - . '
Pitt ,Tide from tliis itwas pdnteil
out by the rail road olIi"iab that in
spite of all statements, it Was evident
that the conference liad." again ..failed
to accomplish anything.
'The apjHMiitment of cotnmlttees
