Secret OF the Fight for the Control OF tho
Reading.
NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-Receut devel-
opments in the fight for the control Of
the Reading Railway show that the
Vanderbilts are after that road and the
dissolution of the Reading pool is SAID
to be their first step toward securing
entire ownership of the road. The OBJ
ject of the Vanderbilt ambition 10 not
to secure the independent business con-
trolled by the Reading itself, bu: to shut
out the Baltimore & Ohio from the conf
petition for the Worlds Fair traffic to.
and from Chicago. The Baltimore Il
Ohio runs over the Readings tracks
from Boundbrook, n. j., to Philadel-
phia, distance of fifty miles. and
from the connecting link between
the Baltimore Il Ohio's own
line, which ends at Philadelphia
and that of the Central Railway of
New Jersey, which it uses from Jersey
City to Boundbrook. With its present
facilities the Baltimore & Ohio IS for
midable competitor of the New York
Central, Erie. West Shore and Pennsyl-
uania, and by reason of q probable
fight for worlds fair business can cut
into the business which in the absence
OF such competition would go to the
other roads.
