ATALK WITH PRESIDENT ROBERTS.

GREATLY SURPRISED AT THE ACTION OF THE
NEw.YoRK CENTRAL IN REDUCING RATES.
Philadelphia, Nov. 10" The inquirer tomorrow
will print the following interview with President ROD
erts. of the Pennsylvania Railroad relative to The
reported cut I'm bound freight rates by the New
York Central:

paper We generally know beforehand when re-

no previous knowledge in this case am inclined 10
think that it must be because of some trouble among
the Northern lines the Eric the Lackawanna or some
others. Perhaps 1t is because the New-fork Cen'rai

maintained rates strictly. There has been no shrnh-

"What Is the present policy of the Pennsylvania
Railroad in regard TO trunk line affairs I"
"Our policy simply is to meet secret rates with
publlc ones That is. II we hear OF competitor
making a rate secretly that is below the published
tariff the Pennsylvania Railroad Will make the same
rate openly Last week, for example, the rate on
grain from Chicago to New-York was reduced from
25 cents to 90 cents because we found that some
roads were doing business at the lower figure. and
! am not entirely clear IN my own mind that all the
companies have charged as much es 90 cents We
have no agreements with anybody. but we Will main

1t is found that rates being cut the Pennsylvania
will reduce its rates, too.n
crates arc low, extremely low continued Mr.
Roberts, and we should be very glad to put them
up"
Do you regard the situation as serious!'
81 do. East-bound rates have been demoralzed
for long time and westbound rates are re
duced. As 1 said before know of no reason why
strong line like the NewYork Central should make
reduction, except perhaps, because other lines are
doing business at rates below the published tariff We
shall know more about it tomorrow. OF course the
Pennsylvania Railroad will adopt the rates announced
by the other lines ,

nouncement OF the reduction that officers of the trunk
lines very angry at the course OF the Pennsyl-
vanla." said the reporter.
Il don't know why they should be. II must be
an error. They certainly don't talk that way 10 us.
The Pennsylvania has maintS!ned rates and has only
reduced them to meet the reductions OF Others

We call the especial attention of persons
in need of profitable employment to the ad-
vertisement of Messrs. A. d. Worthington
& Co., Hartford, Conn, in another column.
They want men and women to act as
agents for Mary A. Livermore's recent
book, "My story of the War" 1t is fam
GUS book, magnifcently illustrated, and
Mrs. Livermore's narrative of her own ex-
perience as a hospital nurse for four years
during the war Is tale of thrilling interest.
Agents are doing wonderfully well with it,
Lady agents are especially successful, and
good workers right in this vicinity can do
paying business with this volume be-
tween now and Christmas. Read the ad-
vertisement and send to the publishers for
their terms to agents. The book and its
publishers are both irst-class.
