EASTERN SYSTEMS
AVOID RATE FIGHT
FirSt-CIaSS Passenger Fare Be-
tween New York and Chi
Cago to Be $40

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-First-class pas
senger fares between Chicago and New
York over the Michigan Central and
the Panhandle routes will be $40 after
January Is, according to advices re-
ceived here late today, subsequent to
a secret meeting in New York between
representatives of those roads and OF
the Erie, Wabash and Grand Trunk.
This lays to rest the specter of
sashed rates and Improbable compe-
tition. The action by the two routes,
which heretofore have enjoyed diff
ferential rate of $40 for the Michigan
Central and SIS on the Panhandle, fol-
lowed open threats of another rate war
instigated by the Erie, Wabash and
Grand Trunk, such as the Erie used
two years ago to straighten out the
complicated emigrant rate situation.
specifically" said an official of one
of the roads involved, "the Michigan
Central and Panhandle were entitled
to the privilege of lower fares in our
opinion, so long as their service was
curtailed by ferries. When their serV-
ice was as, efficient as the roads charg>
ing $40 the three so-Called insurgents
claimed they ought to have the added
inducement of low fare removed. This,
our kilograms say, was agreed to. 1t
merely removes what we claimed was
an unfair advantage. Todays action
means there will be no rate war;

8-HOUR LAW BARS
DREADNAUGHT BIDS
Only One Company Willing to Un-
dertake Construction Of
Monster BattIeShip

WASHINGTON. Dec 1.--Absence of
competition marked the opening of
bids at the navy department today for
the construction of one of the great
est dreadnaughts of the United states
navy, a first-class battleship of H.
600 tons displacement, of two-heet col
liers and of machinery for second
new battleship which will be built at
a government navy yard.
The apathy of the ship-building in
terests is attributed by the department
to the action of congress at its last
session in stipulating that the work
must be done under the eiSht-hour
law.
The department furthermore was un-
willing to interpret definitely the eX
tent to which, within the meaning of
the naval bill the eight-hour law
would apply to work, believing that
many of it's phases were subjects for
the determination of the courts. This,
it is believed, also had a deterrent eff
eject on prospective bidders.
The great battleship, which will be
more powerful than any other ahoat
under the American flag probably will
be built by the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock company of
Newport News, Va. That company
was the only bidder for the vessel,
presenting four proposals. differing be-
cause of the machinery to be in
stalled. These ran from $5160,000 to
IS. $50 600 The maximum amount
authorized by congress for this battle
ship was $6,O0O,0OO.
There probably was no successful
bidder for the two steel fleet Golfers,
with a carrying capacity of 12,5OO
tons

ROADS, MENACED BY EXTREME
REDUCTION IN FARES, YIELD
UItimatum Threatened SO Cut in
Gotham-ChiCago Rate

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Final action
on New York-to-Chicago passenger
rates was taken today by the roads
interested at a conference in the rooms
of the Trunk Line association.
The Erie, Grand Trunk and the
Wabash served notice that unless the
Pennsylvania and the New York Cen
trail abandoned the differential rates on
the Panhandle and the Michigan Cen
trail routes a rate war would be de-
clared.
According to information here the
threatened cut rate on first-class pas
senger traffic to Chicago was as low
as SIS; second class as low as S..
In addition the rate to Boston was
to be cut and new tariffs were to be
filed forthwith, unless an adjustment
were reached. In the face of such an
ultimatum the Pennsylvania and New
York Central decided to yield, and

SLEEPER RATE CUT
MEETS OPPOSITION
State Officials Say Reduction Not
Enough; Railroads, That
1t Is Too Much
COAST SCHEDULE AFFECTED
Pullman Company Offers Lower
Fares to End Contest Before
Commerce Commission
COAST SCHEDULE AFFECTED
ASSOCIATED Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. An offer of the
Pullman company to reduce the rates
charged for upper berths in sleeping
cars 20 per cent where lower berths
were priced at more than $.5O, to
make the price of uppers $125 as
minimum and reduce some lower berth
rates, was opposed before the interstate
commerce commission here today by
the attorney generals of four states
and by two railroads.
The Pullman offer left unchanged
Pullman seat rates and was to become
effective upon approval by the COM
mission.
Opposition to the plan was offered
on the part of the railroads on the
allegation that they would have to
stand part of the brunt of the lessened
price and by the attorney generals on
the claim that the reduction was not
sufficient.
Commissioners Lane and Clark,
therefore, were confronted with an Of
fer of voluntary reduction Of rates for
upper berths (also a number of ma
terial reductions on lower berths)
which the railroads said was too much
and the state officials called too small.
The whole matter came in a COM
bining of all complaints against
sleeper rates in one hearing by the
commission, following an order from
the federal circuit court that previous
cuts ordered by the commission were
not justified.
The Pullman company reduction
schedule included the following cuts on
lower berth rates, upon which, as on
remaining existing rates, the so per
cent charge for uppers was proposed to
be applied, the effort being, according
to the company's representatives, to
charge an average Of mills a mile:
Chicago to New York, unchanged.
New York to Tampa, so cents.
Poughkeepsie to Elkhart and South
Bend, Ind, 81.
New York to st. Augustine, Fla, or
Savannah, Ga. 81.
New York to East st. Louis, Ill, 70
cents.
New rates proposed by the company
include these:
St. Paul or Minneapolis to Seattle
and Pacific coast points, SILL
New York to New Orleans, IS.
Chicago to San Francisco, $13.
The former Minnesota-Paciftc coast
rate was $12; that from Chicago to
San Francisco, $14
The commission will hear further ar
guments and if held advisable will re-
ceVe evidence in the specific cases
combined in one hearing.
Legal representatives of the Chicago
milwaukee, 81 st. Paul, while express
ing no active opposition today, de
clared they were prepared to combat
the Pullman company in its offer to
the members Of the commission
