PASSENGER RATES CUT.
The Southern Freight Associations Cut
Only Affects Competitive Points-said
to Violate Interstate Commerce Law.

BALTIMORE, September i.-The war OF
rates waged by the Seaboard Air Line
against the Southern railway and other
members of the Southern Freight Asso-
citation was reopcned to-day with re
ncwed yigor. The Seaboard Air Line cut
hrst-class passenger fares to Atlanta to
s.; Chattanooga. Sl5; Macon, Sl6S' Mont
gomery, SiA25: Birmingham. Sii. and New
Orleans, s23Sj. Rates to intermediate
points tns tlso reduced from ~ per
cent. to 30 per cent. IL IS stated that II
reduction OF over 30 per cent. In freight
rates Will be made morrow.
CO.it -IITIVE POINTS.
The cut made by the Southern States
Freight Association OF about 80 per cent.
which goes into effect tomorrow. Is sur
prising IN that the reduction does not
affect all points reached by the Interested
lines. but merely affects those points
whlclr-are reached also BY the Seaooard
Ar Line. or what are known as com
petifive points.
This Is said to be violation or the
long ana short haul feature Of the inter
state commerce law. and this portion OF
the law IS IT'S main feature. Just how the
interested companies are going 70 get
around the law I'm this instance Is what
IS now interesting the Seaboard people.
They claim that under the law. II rates
are cut 20 one point. they must be ike
wise reduced 20 all nearer points This.
II appears. has not been done by the As
ISOLATED lines.
