BALTIMORE. Nd. Dec. John K
Rowan, president of the Baltimore y OHIO
Railroad Company, said last night that he
did not think that the rumors about sales.
combinations etc, were specifically worth
denying. Continuing. he said:
The time has come when the competing
railroads fully realize the disasters that
ensue BY a ruinous scramble for business.
Freight and passenger tarins are smashed
into smithereens. and business g carried
on in wildcat manner MT: FINK DE-
scribed the disturbances created by rate
cutting when he said that the whole tarfn
was disturbed in order to get a passenger

Louisville.
The presidents of several of the COM
peting railroads, recognising the necessity
of arriving at some plan by which there
could be fair return for investment in
railroad property, and, besides, that there
has been an increase in the price of all
articles used by railroads. without CORE
spending increase In rates, we decided ON
a new classification of rates-that Is. to
transfer to the classified list certain arti-
cles or commodities, on which special or
lower rate has been placed than when
these articles belonged to the classified

rnodities, which belong to what is known
in freight language as the commodity list.

To restore these commodities TO the CLASH

within the last few months there has
been an advance In all of the articles which
enter into railroad equipment and main
tenance. Labor Is higher. In all of tho
increased business, due to the prosperous
times. the railroads have derived no other
advantage than an increase in the volume
of business. There has been an increase In
rates to meet the increase in expenses.

era of prosperity will continue. and that

those who, for 80 many years, had been
associated with him in the Law Division

His services for more thnn thirty years

his distant homs and remained with him
to the end.
