Letters to the Editor
MT. FinIey's Statement

To the Editor of The Age -Herald:
 In the settlement of any differences that may arise between the employers of labor and the employees. the one thing to be most desired is that each side have confidence in the honesty of purpose of the other This thought is brought about by the article of MT. W. w. Finley. pres ident of the Southern railway, in the Birmingham Age-Herald of May 19. Any one who has known MT. Finley at all knows that what he says upon any subject represents his honest views. He Is not a man to talk except as he thinks.
 It seems to me that the great num- bers of men in the employ of the South ern railway should read carefully this statement of his, and be guided in their actions by the belief of the sincerity of MT. Finley.
 When the time comes-and it is com ing-when employer and employe can express their opinions freely to each other, knowing that the other is honest in what he says, there will be little need for arbitration. Statements like this of Mir. Finley go far toward bringing about g correct understanding. and must in the end be of much benefit in the settlement of any differences that may in the future arise. Very respectfully,
 WILSON R. BROWN.

THROUGH FREIGHT
 RATES LOWERED

Washington, May 22-An eastern freight rate war is likely to be precipitated by the action of the Delaware and Hudson company in filing with the interstate com merce commission a tariff making re- duction in the class freight rates between New York city and Chicago.
 The Delaware and Hudson has filed a tariff, effective June 15. which reduces the freight rates between the cities from .75 cents a hundred pounds first class to 62 cents a hundred, the rates on other classes of freight being approximately lower.
 By the new tariff the rates to inter- mediate points between New York and Chicago are approximately higher than they are for the full distance.
 No reason is known to the interstate commerce commission for the proposed cutting of rates.
 The Delaware and Hudson company was one of the eastern carriers which rep resented to the commission in the rate cases tried last winter that the class rate of 75 cents a hundred pounds furnished an inadequate return to the carriers.
 Already the commission has received an intimation from other eastern carriers that they proposed to contest the Della ware and Hudson's action. In this re- quest it is understood the roads will be joined by shippers in the belief that a rate contest at this time would be gener- ally disa The commission is con- sidering whether it is empowered to sus- pend a reduction in rates as well as an advance.

CANADA PAGEANT
 WILL BE PRESENTED

London, May 22.-The Canadian pageant committee has arranged to include in the festival of the empire the scene depicting the battle of Chateauguay, the with drawal of which has been much resented by Canadians.
 It was announced in April that the Canadian committee, of which Lord Strathcona is president, had decided to eliminate from the coronation programme Canada's principal contribution to the pageant, entitled "Chateauguay, where Canada was held for the empire," which was intended to represent the defeat, through strategy of an invading American force in 1913 by handful of Canadians.
 It was thought the pageant might wound the susceptibilities of American visitors and cause a feeling which would en- deavor the conclusion of the proposed Anglo-American arbitration treaty.
 Opposition to the withdrawal of the scene was strong in Canada and the mat ter was made the subject of discussion in the dominion house of parliament.

REFORM BILL PASSES
 SECOND READING

London, May 22.-Lord Lansdowne's bill for the reconstruction of the house Of lords passed its second reading in the house today, without division, after War Secretary Haldane announced the gov ernment would not divide against it. The secretary said he welcomed the evidence the bill afforded. that the conservatives were convinced of the need of reforming the house of lords, but the government held the passage of the veto bill was essential before steps were taken in that direction.
 The second reading of the veto bill will be moved in the house of lords tomorrow. The liberals confidently predict that the lords will ultimately capitulate and pass the veto bill with the expectation that it will be repealed when the unionists re- turn to power.
