BAL T|MORE CERTAIN
OF STORE DELIVERY
New York and Baltimore Trans
portation Company Gives
Assurance of Service.

Baltimore is not to lose the benets
OF store delivery on traffic from East
ern points. whether the railroads sue
ceed in Withdrawing it or not. Steam
ship competitors of the railroads are
ready to increase their service AMI
give store delivery. in the hope of
getting A big increase Of traffic.
This was announced in Washington
today, on behalf of the New York and
Baltimore Transportation Company,
which now operates a line OF three
vessels between the metropolis and
Baltimore. 1t gives sailings on Tues
days, Thursdays, and Saturdays. de-

Interstate Commerce Commission
Was Done By Water.
Baltimore commercial representatives
in Washington today declared that in
the forthcoming fight they will be able
to show that before store delivery was
granted to Baltimore and Washington,
the freight business into these towns
was carried in very large part by
water: that the delieVry was granted
as means TO meeting the water com
petition; that as result Of this con-
cession a great tonnage was turned
from the water to the rails. II will
be argued that the tariffs filed by the
railroads, Withdrawing the delivery
privilege are absolutely ViOiatiVe of
the law because present rates Were
made in the face of water competition.
Baltimore people are giving much at
tention TO the prospect of summoning
the water lines TO their assistance to
keep rates down. 1t is pointed out that
washington has an equally good chance
to secure substantial help in this way,
If IL will engage the interest of the wa
ter carriers. The latter have been alert
TO take advantage of the opportunity
afforded by the withdrawal of the rail-
road free delivery. 1T is the opportun-
ity OF a limetife,'' declared the officers
OF one steamship company.
