DISAGREE OVER
PULLMAN RATES
Offer cf Ccmpany to M:ke Re
ductions Kesls Opposition.
WOULD REDUCE UPPER BERTHS
Lowers Are Reduced In Some Cases,
Too Railroads Claim That Cuts
Are Too Large and Attorneys Gen
eral That They Are Too Small.
Chicago, Dec. 2. An offer of the
rullman company to reduce the ratta
charged for upper berths in sleeping
cars 20 per cent where lower beit'us
were priced more than $1.50, to make
the price of uppers $1.25 as a mini
mum and reduce some lower berth
rates was opposed before tho inter
Btate commerce commission here by
attorneys geneial of four states and
by two railroads. The Pullman com
pany's oiler left unchanged Pullman
scat rates and was to become effective
on approval and acceptance by the
commission.
Reduction Not Sufficient.
Opposition to the plan was offered
on the part of the railroads on the al
legation that they would have to stand
a pait of the brunt of the lessened
prices and by the attorneys general
on the claim that the reduction was
not sufficient.
"I don't think the 20 per cent reduc
tion represents the difference in ser
vice valuo of an upper and lower
berth," said Attorney General James
Bingham of Indiana.
"It isn't enough, I stand on our pe
tition," said Attorney General John S.
Dawson of Kansas.
"Here, too," agreed Attorney Luther
Walters, representing Attorney Gener
al Northwood of Arkansas.
"It isn't at all satisfactory," con
cluded Attorney General Charles West
of Oklahoma.
Deadlock Results.
Commissioners Lane and Clarke,
therefore, were confronted by an offei
of voluntary reduction of rates foi
uppers and also a number of Material
reductions on lower berth rates, which
the railroads said were too large, and
the state officials called too small.
The whole matter came up on the
combining of all complaints against
sleeper rates in one hearing by the
commission, following an order from
the federal circuit court that previous
cuts ordered by the commission were
not justified.
The commission will henr furthei
arguments, and If held advisable, will
receive evidence In the specific cases
combined in one hearing.
Great Northern Protests.
The Great Northern railroad, which
owns its own sleeping cars, protested
ngnlnst the proposed reduction In
rates on the ground thnt it, too, would
have to meet the reduction and would
have to stand the entire loss.
O. S. Femald, assistant general so
lkltor of the Pullman company, said:
"We decided that although the up
per berths cost more to build, furnish
and maintain than the lowers, public
discrimination ngninst the uppers re
quired a reduction in their price.
Where the lower berth Is rated at
J1.H0 the upper will be $1.25 and In
all Instances other than this the up
per will cost 80 per cent of the lower."

EFFECT OF BALFCL'RS CGU?
Leaders Assert Opponents Changed
Policy to Catch Votes.
London, Dec. 2. The ultimate elvct
of the opposition's attempt to unload
the tariff reform issue for the pur
poses of the present campaign is stilt
in doubt. While the unionists were
greatly encouraged by Mr. Balfour
sudden and surprising announcement
that he would not object to the sub
mission of the question to a referee
duru, the leader's bold stroke ha3 far
from disheartened the liberals, who
find therein good ammunition and are
accusing their opponents of changing
their policy daily In a desperate effort
to catch votes and so secure power at
any cost.
Speaking at Manchester, Andrew
Bonar Law unionist, refused "to eat
my words," adding that if the union
ists obtained an adequate majority at
the polls they would be bound to enact
a tariff reform measure. The first
members returned to ihe new parlia
ment will be unionists. In many con
stituencies nominations will be made
today and In at least nine Instances
there will be no contests.
The weather for the campaign
scarcely could be worse. Outdoor
meetings p'anned at many places ne
cessarily h; ve been abandoned. Th
house-to house canvassing continues.
