SILK RATE CUTTING
WAR REPORTED NEAR
Transpacific Conference Ship Lines
Engaged in Fight With
Independent Firms.
BY the Associated Press.

SHANGHAI, October 12.-As a result
of the action of the States Steamship
Co. of Portland. Greg, September /, in
slashing the Hongkong- New York all
water silk rates from $12 to So gold, q
rate war between Transpacific Confer
ence Lines and non-conference lines is
in prospect, according to widespread re-
ports in shipping circles here and in
Hongkong today.
The States Co. reduced its rates in
order to obtain part of the silk trade
which heretofore largely had been con-
trolled by Conference Lines, said off,
Gals here of the States Co. They added
that the cut had enabled their COM
pany to contract with South China silk
exporters to transport to New York
during the next two years rs per cent
of the entire South China output.
To meet the rate cut, the Conference
Lines retaliated with rate of $3.50.
Widespread reports stated that the
Conference companies were considering
plans of still further reductions in an
attempt to force non-conference lines
to see!s and agreement with them upon
rates.
The States Co. also cut New York
rates on rubber and other original car
goes. Shipping circles of China gener-
ally view the situation with much con-
Germ owing to the possibility of its re-
sulting in a general dislocation Of the
entire structure of Pacific freight rates.
