Cutting on the Sound

Boston, Jan. %. president Parsons OF
given sixty days notice 10 the Sound Line
association of the withdrawal of that
road from the association. This action
took place last week, but the news did
not become generally known until late
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Parsons made frequent attempts
TO secure proper recognition for his road
from the association. before he gave the
above notice. When it was finally given,
President Clark of the New Haven came
over &c Boston and made strong efforts
TO meet the situation. but Mr.. Parsons
held firm to his notice of Withdrawal,
lie proposes 10 make an aggressive re-
Spouse to the policy of the New Haven,
and it is probable that a rate war by way
of the Sound lines will ensue.
One report yes erday was nat the New
York and New England would now make
the Sound line rate 81. but this is denied
by the officials OF the co upany.
The Sound line agreement has main
tanned rates uniform bet cen Boston and
New York Tor more than ten years past.
Three times as many persons travel by
the water routes between the two cities
as by rail, and before the present Sound
line association was formed the rate was
cut as low as 25 cents, and at
one time the competition was so sharp
that passengers were carried free and
given a free dinner into the bargain.
General Manager Kendrick OF the Old
Colony road wa asked whether he knew
any action TO be taken by that road
regarding the action of the New York
and New England, but said that he had
nothing TO say except that no action
would be taken until the expiration Of
