Traffic Manager Bartholomew Of the
Mallory line said tonight that he had no
information that the Mallory line was
going to raise rates. The Post correspond
ent, however saw a telegram from one OF
the largest manufacturing concerns In
America to its Galveston agent reading
as follows:
New York. August 31.--All special
freight concessions for Texas from here
are withdrawn"
The gentleman told The Post corre-
spondent that Mr.. Bartholomew. when
asked to quote rate on lot Of freight,
from New York to Dallas, said he could
not do So He was asked to quote rate
good for twenty four hours, and replied
he could not quote one good for ten min
utes.
Among persons on the inside 1t is gen
erallv understood that the war Is over or
so near to being over that it is simply a
question of arranging the details. From
the tariff promulgated by Ripley this even
ing 1t would appear that the 40-cent maxi
mum will be the basis. In other words,
the old tariff will be chopped in two.
