They in- quired if this man was really an expert, and re- ceived an affirmative reply. They concluded to send for the so-called expert, when to their surprise a beardiess youth answered their summons.

In conversation with one of these gentlemen the Post-ViIsPaTcH reporter got his views of the rate problem. Just so long as business remained in its present flat coudition, just that leng would rates continue to be demoralized. If one road struck a duil groove the general freight agent would at ouce surmise that some other line was cutting rates an getting all the business in that manner. The G F.
