RATE WAR
ON WITH LINERS
Several Companies Cut
Passage to Genoa to
$i2.

NEW YORK. April 3.-What probably
viii be the biggest rate war even held
between the various companies plying
between New York and Medite rranean
ports was started today with the an
nOulcement OF the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company Of an extraordi-
nary reduction, which goes into effect
Immediately. The rate to Genoa has
been for steerage passage reduced TO
SIS. and TO other ports in proportion.
The company, in announcing these re-
duced rates, makes TO guarantee that
they will continue for any length OF
time. but from all appearances they will
remain until some mutual agreement IS
made between TIE various companies
regarding u standard rate. The reduc-
ton Is only in steerage rates. ana does
not affect the first and second class
cabin fares.
The officials OF the White Star line
announced that they would meet the
cut, and would reduce their rates to
equal those Of the North German
LIyod. Five Italian lines have an
nounced that they win do even more
than the two big lines, ana will reduce
their rates TO Genoa 10 50, and 20 ether
Mediterranean ports in proportion
The westbOund rates remain as before
the reductions only applying to Storage
passengers to Europe.
