THEY WE'RE RULED OUT
LONE STARS GENERAL MANAGER
HAS ms SAY.
lie Considers the Declarations Of
the Mallory md Morgan People
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Adviccs.

Galveston. Texas. July 22.--Daniel Rip-
ley tonight explained the position o. the
Lone Star line in regard to the New York
conference ae follows:
at was announced at yesterdays meet
ing in New York that the conference was
TO b. confined TO members of the South
western Traffic association. The Lone Star
is not a member of that organizations 60
We considered ourselves as ruled out. To-
day | am advised by my New York cons
rectons our people had meeting with tho
railroad people. Nothing was done up to
the time of the sending of the message
10 me. This meeting with the railroad peo-
pie was independent OF the general confer
oncc, which ] see by the newspapers waa
attended ty the Mallory and Morgan lires.
You can state for me that tho declara-
ton Of the Mallory and Morgan companies
that they will not restore rates unless tho
Lone Star withdraw from the field is ridic-
nlous and impertinent. 1t Is well they have
made II, however, MS 1t shows the Public
that these lines consider that they own this
particular part Of the world. We are grate-
ful to them for their kindness in saying
We can withdraw. We were not the ag-
gressors IN this fight. We are simply In
the field to do reasonable legitimate busl-
ness. We are not seeking to ruin any ono
and we are going to continue the even tenor
of our way. We consider that Texas offers
II profitable field for us and as we have
boats well adapted for the trade and as
we canvassed the situation thoroughly be-
fore we nmborked on this undertaking we
know what we ure about.
Whatever kick the Southwestern Traffic
association has coming Is against the limo
that cat the rates. We have simply met
such reductions us the Mallory line has
made. II the Mallory line has not lived
up to It's agreement with the Southwestern
Traffic association. the Southwestern Traf-
fe association has to deal with the Nal
iory line--not with us. The Mallory line
is a member OF that organization.
I'VE will do business on reasonable
basis. We can do it cheaply and we are
here to stay. If We have to fight for it we
viii fight Just as long and as hard rs the
law allows. have nothing to say as to
what effect the failure OF the Now York
conference will have upon the railroad sit
nation"
