But Bound to Have Some of That Freight,
SAYS the Is. and q.
BALTIMORE, July Accommodating upon
the reduction in freight rates made by the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which went
into effect Today, Hambleton's Circular says:
"The cut in grain rates by the Baltimore
and Ohio was the last straw which threatens
to break the back of the agreement among
gentlemen The cut rate is II cents from
Chicago to Baltimore and Is cents to Phila-
delphia. Whether the step taken by the Bal.
timore and Ohio is wise one remains to be
seen Ii the Baltimore and Ohio is per.
mitted to carry freight at a reduced rate
without the reduction being met by other
lines, it would, of course, secure a very large
traffic. and enjoy an advantage; but it is
not to be presumed that such will be the
case, as more than likely the other roads will
make such weeping reductions that only the
fittest will survive.
Playing with Fire Again
"One would suppose the Baltimore and
Ohio would be about the last road to take
any action which might precipitate a rail
road war. The past management tried the
experiment of taking independent action,
which policy was so disastrous as to bring
the Baltimore and Ohio to the verge of
bankruptcy, from which it escaped only by
appealing 10 the Drexel- Morgan syndicate
for aid, and by paying dearly for the
assistance rendered"
The Baltimore and Ohio are unconcerned
as TO the result among other roads. An
executive o. the company said yesterday
when the su question of rate war was made
well, we a Re going to have some of that
freight, rate war or not. "
Backed Out of That 2-Cent Fare.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
has again withdrawn its rate of . cents a
mile for parties of ten or more travelling
together on one or more tickets. The Balti-
more and Ohio gave notice of this reduced
rate on June IL, and it met with vigorous
opposition n the meetings of the Central
Traffic association, the Pennsylvania ana the
New York Central roads, it is understood,
leading in objection TO it on the ground that
Judge Cooley had decided the reduced rate
to be in violation of the inter state commerce
law, no lding that it was discriminating in its
effects
