RATE WAR LIKELY.
Cutting the Rate for the @. A. n. Convsn.
ton Has Started n Row.

MONTREAL. Que. Aug. 20.-Telegrams re-
celved here to-day show that the decision OF
the Erie Railway Company to meet the compe-
tition OF the other trunk lines for the G. A. con-
vention business In Philadelphia. by fixing q
rate OF $3.50 for the round trip from Chicago
to New York on the frat four davs OF Septem-
Der may precipitate a general rate war. The
Wabash was the FIRST Of the differential roads
to cut the rate. and the ether roads are ely
to follow. 1t is by no means improbable that
through rate Of s. from Detroit to New York
will be the next cut.
Mr.. g. Is. Reeve. General Traffic Manager OF
the Grand Trunk. said to- day that the Grand
Trunk will firmly support the other differen-
tial companies. the companies which are
allowed to sell at a rate a little below the
leading roads.
We are sorry to see the reduction OF rate
between Chicago and new York and Phlade-
phia.' he said. land believe that It will go far
toward abolishing the reduction OF rates to
conventions. more particularly to the Grand
Army OF the Republic and the Christian En-
deavor Society. Not that we think these asso-
Citations are in any way responsible for the
general Generalization that takes place in
connection with tho reduced fare. but because

But We believe that the action OF tho so-called

much to meet competition In connection with

cloak for them to take action against the
dlfferentials that have been prevalent by tho

past. and which were awarded to those lines by
arbitration and with the consent and.
therefore. by the agreement OF the
standard limos. In other words. they
are trying TO take away from the weaker limos
in an underhand way what they virtually
agreed to allow them to retain. We will not
meet any reduction until the differential lines
take tho initiative. We will then join them
and stay by them. reserving our differential as

so. That will continue to be our policy until
