and Millers—A Basis of Arrangement
Proposed.
Several days ago we announced that a
Committee of our business men had
vlalted•Phlladelphia for the , purpose of
holding council with the officers of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company on the
subject of freight discrimination by that
corporation against the commercial in
terests of the city. The Committee ware
cordially received and treated with the
utmost respect, and the grievances com.
plalned of were noted and a basis of ar
rangement was promptly promised.
Yesterday Isaiah Dickey, Esq., Chair

the following basis of arrangement with
the Pittsburgh grain dealers and millers,
to begin January 1, 1870. and to continue
to September 1, 1870, be approved :
That upon grain shipped from Colum

I remain, gentlemen,

Secretary.
We may remark that while the teals
Is conciliatory and acceptable as a com
promise by our merchants, still all the
concessions petitioned for by the Com
mittee were not granted, and the full ox.

have not been met.

The gentlemen of the Pittsburgh Coro•

them in the , opinion that overdo/Cy It
had been both politic and expedient to

now proposed , embnwes nearly the
whole section west of us that is tributary

discharged their duties well, faithfully
and intelligently, and the thanks of the
entire business community are due them.
