/ The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
authorities have declined to send rep
rsentative to the proposed Railroad
Convention at Erie. The announce

arrangements between existing rival
roads impossible, and accordingly the
proposed negotiations would be broken

the B. and o. II. r. is made on the
ground that leading lines, after having
mutually agreed to maintain rates, have
in reality been paying large drawbacks.
