RATE WAR PROBABLE.
secret Cutting of Freight Rates MA,
Prccipitate Trouble,

Disguise 1t as they may try to, railway
men are afraid that rate war. like tho
Texas foods. may break forth at any mo-
ment. Conservative traffic men are svefss
to rate cutting, particularly where IL IA
surreptitlously done, as is the case 10
nearly every instanee. OF course there are
exceptions, where on lorg hauls. by ad-
ding local and other rates combination
rate could be worked out by smooth
freight mau who Is. strictly "on to his
Job, that would be lower than the regular
tariff. Such instances are rare, however,
and IL is not shipments OF such nature
that causes trouble.
II is the commodity tariff from st. Louis
and other territory TO Texas common
points which Is the source from which
springs the trouble, For some time past
secret rate cutting has been going on from
81 Louis. OF course 'it wasn't our road
which commenced the light OF course
not, 1t was the other fellow. the road
which was the first TO do the secret cut
ting
The Southern Pacific system has an
nounced that 1t will not engage 10 secret
rate cutting or the giving OF rebates, but
that 1t will openly meet the secret rates
made by competitors.
Certain North Texas towns, remote from
water land water rates influence rail
rates) are making vigorous effort to
control the johhlng business OF Texas, ans
no matter what rates are put in they pro-
test, Somehow or other. every ones in a
while, they succeed ia prevailing on some
line TO assist them by cutting and then
Of course the roads which reach the gut
protect their territory by also making con-
cessions.
Some of these roads, notorious for their
rate cutting proclyities are always COM
planning because their nst earnings are
not as great as they should be. They
have no difficulty in getting freight a.
cut rates, but when they attempt to re.
store thelr tariffs they ascertain that it is
not so easy SIS to lower them.
Perhaps the Huntington policy of open
ly meeting the secret cuts Will hare
salutary effect and prevent further cutN
