there were four steamship lines doing
business between Baltimore and Norfolk,
including the Baltimore Steam Packet
Co., and that two Of these lines had been
running for many years, and had always
coded the local business to the Baltimore
Steam Packet Co., should cede any part
of the local business to the line Of the
Southern Railway, established less than
six months, that surely they would ex-
pect their proportion also, and that this
business divided between four would
mean a lack Of sufficient support to any,
and that an arbitration between any two
of these four lines could not possibly set
tie the question.
The article in the Railway Age states
that Mr.. Spencer accepted the PROPOSE
ton made by Messrs. Fink and Thomas,
and that a second time Mr.. Spencer had
accepted proposed agreement. The
facts are that the only letter written
by Mr.. Spencer as to accepting or declin-
ing any proposition was under date OF
January %, and addressed to Messrs.
Fink and Thomas, and in this letter he
does not accept this proposition, except
under conditions which he names in the
following words:
L
suggest will be acceptable to the South
ern Railway Co., and to the Baltimore,
| Chesapeake and Richmond Steamboat:
Co., provided:
Il. That if the agreement as to allot-
ment Of business at Norfolk, Ports
mouth, Old Point and Richmond Is to he
for q term of years, there shall be pro
vision in the agreement for rearbltri-
| xbo al of hnSinnsl ht,-
tween the parties at the expiration ~
ga Oh year on the demand OF either party
to the agreement.
''2. That there shall at the same time
he made come reasonable agreement as
10 cooperation between rail lines south
of Portsmouth either through member
ship in traffic association or Otherwise
in such form as will g We reasonable as
surance of maintenance of rates tor a
similar period to that covered by Inc
steamboat agreement
The latter condition involves the Lines
south of Portsmouth, in which the Baltl-
more Steam Packet Co. has no interest
whatever.
The division Of the local business OF
water lines by arbitration is very diner
ent matter from the division Of business
at competitive points by railroads. The
railroad has its local business assured TO
it and to depend upon under all circum,
stances, but water line has no local.
business that can be held sacred to it. In
this case there are four points-Balti-
more, Old Point, Norfolk and Ports
mouth-and with this business divided at
the outset between two lines would mean
that it must be divided between four
lines speedily, and would reduce the earn
ing power Of the Bay Line to an extent
that it would put it in a position where
the Southern could accomplish their pur-
pose Of running it, or forcing consolida-
ton quicker than in any other way, and
this is Mr.. Spencer's desire for arbitra-
ton.

Editor Manufacturers Record: 81
/ have received a page from the Rail-
way Age in which there Is a statement,
evidently put out by the Southern Rail-
way officials, giving a garbled account of
a correspondence between Messrs. Henry
Fink, j. w. Thomas, Samuel Spencer
and myself. This statement is very in
correct, and many of the statements un-
true, commencing with the first few lines.
The truth is, that hearing from several
different sources that Mr.. Spencer said
he was perfectly willing to concede the
local business between Baltimore and
Norfolk to the Baltimore Steam Packet
CO., which all other lines running be-
tween Baltimore and Norfolk had always
done, and had no desire to do more than
to transact the business of his own line
by his Baltimore-No Norfolk ships in fact, a
sort Of ferry transfer, and being sure that
he had repeated this to more than one
party, which | can name and as this was
all that L had right to expect / re-
quested Mr.. Henry Fink and Mr.. J. w.
Thomas TO meet Mr. st. John and myself
IN New York to see if Mr.. Spencer was
willing to do what be said. ! explained
fhc situation to these gentlemen, and
they agreed with that this ought to be
satisfactory to Mr.. Spencer, and with
his view expressed ! authorized them
to see Mr.. Spencer. and we met at the
Waldorf by appointment.
