P THE' BISBEE 7 1 MANCHU INTERESTS TO BE LOOKED AFTER AS TO FRIEGHT RATES General Assurance Is Giv en Merchants By Officials FULL DISCUSSION HAD Except a general promise that the interests of Iiisbee merchants would bo taken cart- of by tho El Paso and Southwestern, General Traffic Mana ger A. X. Brown, or the Southwest ern, made no -definite piomise to the committee that waited on him at the Copper Queen hotel itarlor yesterday nt noon. The committee that had been ap folnted by T'resldent O'Connell of tho Iiisbee Inmrd of trade to Interview (Jeneral Traffic Manager Ilrown and 'General Passenger Agent Eugene Fox was composed of Judge O'Connell, Ben Frnnkvnberg. .lames Henderson, Secretary Ruth, of the business men's protective association, and John Rol lins. Mr. Rollins was not present. Assistant General Freight and Pas senger Agent Garnet IKng was pres ent during the conference. Make General Statement Xo specific complaints were made to the officials regarding freight rates. When Judge O'Connell made tho call for a mass meeting, it was expected that those who held that they had not been dealt with fnirly in the matter of freight rt?s from the east would bo present at that meeting and furnish data to the com mittee to interview the officials. At that meeting, however, only about half a dozen were present, bo at the conference yesterday the committee merely presented a request for a cheaper freight rate on commodities from Kl Paso to Iiisbee and between intra-tate points on tho Southwest ern in Arizona, making the general statement that the present ratv were too high, and asking for a gen eral redaction. Mr. Ilrown replied that ho thought the rato from El Paso west was fair in tho face of the earnings of the western division, and in the face of tho present financial condition of the country. Judge O'Connell, who acted as spokesman for the commit tee, piefaced his statement with the suggestion that business in the outh vvest was improving. Mr. Brown re plied that -while reports that had been made to him by the traffic depart ment fiold men. were to the effect that business conditions wore linprolng in Bisbee, the stimulus had not yet i ibeen felt in the receipts of the rail-j roan company, ana replying 10 -ir. IJrankenlerg's request for cheaper rates on the general ground of the cost of llviing, the traffic manager re plied that the railroads, as well as tho consumer, felt that depression, and that it was no argument for a reduction in freight rates. Commodities are Discussed Various itoms of freight, commodi ties, were discussed l-ro and con by the committeemen and the officials, but the latter were apparently con vinced of the justness of their pres ent rates, and gave no intimation of a decrease in freight rates. General Traffic Manager Brown, however, said that he was of the opinion that conditions that will soon come about will materially reduce freight rates both east and west. "This matter of freight rates is no longer a matter of railroad competi tion," he said, "but a matter of com peting producers and manufacturers. The Tucson extension is bound to reduce your freight rates from Cali fornia points, and then the eastern and middle western producers of the things that you use will be after us with the statement that w are run ning them out of business. 1 make this statement with no great degree of comfort, but we realize that the condition will arise just the satire." Wait uoon Courts Both Mr. Brow;n and Mr Fox pre faced the entire discussion with the, statement that it would not be politic , to make any changes in the freight rates at this time, s the -whole mat ter of freight rates had been thrown askew by the controversial opinions rendered by the interstate commerce commission and the commerce court The matter of freight rates, they said, can be considered with no degree of; .finality until the supreme court has sustain! one or the other of the in vestigating bodies. Until this decis-( ion gives a balance to the rate situa-1 tlon. all consideration of rates Is In wnv nremature. I Specific complaint was made In the mutter of the rate on coal, one of the committeemen citing the high cost of coal In BIsbee, to-wit, $14 per ton. Mr. Fox, figuring the cost at the mine and tho cost of freighting it to Bis- bee, arguad that the beneficiary in this case was the Blsbce coal dealer, whose nrofit on a ton of coal, he fig - tired, was approximately five dollars. The present rate on hay from the Gila vallsy, the officials sld, was goverened by the limited production of the valley, and that Increased pro duction only would warrant a further (Continued on page 3.)
