FEAR OCEAN RATE CONFLICT
Lusitania Expected to Start a Gen.
eral Reduction.
New Turbine Liner, II Is RumOred,
VIII Cut Minimum Far Below
Present Prices.

New York. Aug. 23.-From authorita-
approaching advent Of the Cunard Lines
new turbine steamship LusItania, in the
transatlantic service between this port
and England, is awaited in shipping cir
cles with interest and uncertainty which
is not entirely concerned with her speed.
What is more vital at the present time
is the question OF rates. This Is bother
ing every one Of the rival companies. As
yet the schedule Of rates for the new boat
have been sedulously withheld. It IS said
that not even the American agents are
in position TO quote them.
But there appears 10 have been just
bit Of a leak somewhere, or something
that resembles leak. For the impression
is prevalent downtown that rates on the
Lusitania-minimum ra-es, that is-are
going TO be low.
or course, there VIII be a rigid maxi
mum rate for first saloon passage but il
Is always the minimum that makes the
trouble, and if the Cunard. as it is ru-
mored, comes down to $lco. or even less.
for A minimum rate. there will be a
serious conflict with the rates Of the crack
vessels Of the two German lines espe-
Cially
There Is always anxiety. so far as the
great English line is concerned, since
there is never any way % telling Just
what course Of action II intends TO pur-
sue in any direction. Four years ago. in
its Mediterranean service. il caused an
upheaval which started the lines fighting
with one another Ike the proverbial Kill
kenny cats. and the results would have
been very nearly the same had not COM
mon sense ar last intervened. At pres
ent, since that fight, in fact, there has
been no agreement as to rates among
the companies; the North Atlantic con-
ference long ago proved its uselessness,
and the question Of agreement has re-
mained IN statu quo. Companies have
refrained from going of on tangents
merely through self-interest.
But this may be stated without fear OF
contradiction: If the English company
makes an undercut on minimum rates.
there is going TO be a war OF prices such
as the transatlantic service has not seen
in the past decade.
