The war Is now the absorbing topic OF
conversation among railway and CONNER
cial in this city. A Dispatch man visited

Airline. and the Committee Of the South

some satisfactory and honorable settle
ment OF the differences which caused the
radical reduction Of rates on the seaboard
Airline, instead OF accomplishing this
desirable object, seem 10 have resulted In
widening Of the breach between the
conflicting interests.
I'm view OF the aforementioned cir
cumstances. the shipment of goods to the
territory affected Il is reasonable TO sup
pose may be limited TO the absolute re-
quirements of buyers. and the impera-
tive orders received by shippers from said
territory.
Richmond merchants and manufac-
turers feel that they have already sus-
tanned considerable INJURY by being una
BILE TO reach common points on the Sea-
board Airline. and contiguous territory
affected by these rates, and they are
keenly watching the situation, and will
expect and demand the fullest protection
OF their interests from all the carriers
concerned in m rate war having rela-
tons with Richmond.
"In previous rate wars OF this charac-
ter the carriers have overlooked their
duty TO Richmond in this respect or have
been very tardy in affording relief to this
community and the experience OF the
past quiclSens and intensifies this feeling
Of watchfulness on the part of our bust
