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

arrangements between existing rival
roads impossible, and accordingly the
proposed negotiations would be broken
of. The refusal of the authorities of
the B. and o. r. R. is made on the
ground that leading lines, after having
mutually agreed to maintain rates, have
in reality been paying large drawbacks.
