MAY BE A RATE WAR

B. & M.*s Action Cause of FeelingAmong Eastern Roads.

The action of the Boston & Maine Ruilr >ad Infiling a tariff on import trafic with the InterstateCommerce Commission, wiping out tho differentialbetween Boston unJ Baltimore, has already beenmet by some of the trunk lines interested, ard it isexpected thai the other lin-::s affected will als:> meet

the cut. The roads that have announced th?-lr in-tention t<i lower their tariffs to conform to theBoston & Maine's proposed reduction on westboundfreight from Boston are thu Boston & Albany, thePennsylvania and the Reading. The Baltimore &Ohio and the Canadian Pacine, arlticb are amongthe chief roads affected by the cut, have not yetadopted any retaliatory- measures, but there is littledoubt in railroad circles tliat they willmeet the re-duction announced by thu -Boston & Maine.

There !s said to be considerable fueling among

the roads along the- Atlantic soaboitrd o\er thomatter, and, nccording to traffic men, unVss th«

Boston & Maine backs down and Withdraws t3 newfreight schedule just Bled with tho lutersiat* Com-merce Commission there is a probabi.ity of a ratewar being started tliat will Involve all the Easterntrunk lines, and perhaps the Southern iinfs also,

such as tha Missouri Pacific and the Illinois Cen-!tral. Th«jre are to he further co'if^ronccs on thei subject, however, winch, it is hoped, will r..suit in

;an amicable settlement, although recent attempts

to teach an agreement have been unsuccessful.

Some two yean ago a similar situation developed.l>ut th3trouble was patched up by arbitrat on andthe present differentials were agreed upon.

(iwing to the exceptional advantages whi;h NewYork as an Import point enjoys, both In way ofspefdy movement of freight and forolpi exchangefacilities, the Import traffic from this city will notbe so seriously affected by the Boston & Maine'saci'.on. hut at the Bame time It Is thought thatsome readjustment <rf rates out of New York will>,aye to be effected unless the Boston A Mainebacks down.
