"Evcijbody thought thato would ask to bo allowed a dlffeicnlial rate , because ourioutc is longer , but wo simply demanded that the time for making tlio urn between Chicago and St. Paul bo not changed. Every railroad man in the business knows that that demand was leasonable. wo had not de manded it , I have not a doubt but the. St. Paul would have put on a limited train and made the run in fouiteen horns. They now inn it In sixteen. It' takes us twenty. Wo are not meeting the St. Paul cut except on through business.
