he last six weeks went b.i the bo ircl today
All the memliers of the unMiciatiun threw up
their hands and pave up hope of an an im
mediate adjustment ( if World's fail rates The
cause ol the collapue was the announcement
by Passeuper Traffic Manager "White of the
Atchison road that his company would at
the expiration of thirt.da.vs . withdraw
roru its membership in the aassciation
Later in the daj Mr. White sent to Chair
man Caldwell the formal written notice
of withdrawal
The course of the Atchison is the lepit'- '
nate outcome of the ev nts of the last two
da\B. , Mr AVliite declared that he with
drew from the association becuuse lie could
mt secure protection in World's fair rates
west of the Missouri river , where his line
does its larpest business. He declared that
t would be a difficult thine to maintain rates
rom the Missouri river to Chicaro and re
turn with a demoralired condition of affairs
west of the river Because of coitmissions
barred in Kansas or at Colorado points ,
the rates from the Missouri river could be
irokeTi down He demanded that the lines
east of the river nrottict the interests of the
Atchison to the west of the river , and in re-
tura the Atchisou would protect rates east
of the river.
The entire matter hinjres on the attitude
if the Denver & Ilio Grande , which In itself
amounted to but little , but \ \ hick , backed as
it was by the Burlinrton and Kouk Island ,
iiocame a potent factor The Denver 4 : Rio
Grande absolutely refused to join the asso
ciation unless its local troubles with the Col
orado Midland are settled The Burlineton
and Rok Island took the stand that an
agreement west of tut- Missouri rivw is im-
[ tobbible without the Denver & Uio Grande
The Atchison claimed that the Denver &
Rio Grande had declared that it was wilimp
to Join the Western I'assoncer association
with local matters exempt The chasm was
too wide to be bridped and the Atchison
pulled out. The Atchison declares that it
has withdrawn from the associa tiou. not
with any intention of inakmp war , but sim
ply to protect revenu s It w ill not be a red-
handed murderer of rates.
