Raleigh, May 30.—A halt has been, or will be, called on the Raleigh - Durham bus line fight, it wag said here today by counsel for the Inde pendents, who allege that the Caro lina Deluxe Line, Inc., has cut the price of transportation between the town cities from $1 to 25 cents in an effort to force them out of busi ness. , Attorney General Manning has written to the Deluxers, it Is un derstood. calling their attention to a North Carolina statute which makes a person, firm or corporation depressing a price for the purpose of cutting the throat of a compe titor a misdemeanor. At the same time the attorney general Is said to have written to the solicitor ef this district instructing him that it was his duty to start action against the Deluxe Line If its operators per sisted In maintaining the price of 25 cents. It is reported that warrants win be Issued tonight, if the Deluxe Line is still carrying passengers at two bits a head. The bus line war has created no end of Interest here, beta* accept ed as an attempt on the part of a corporation to obtain a monopoly of the business. Nobody has been simple enough to believe that the price of twenty-fire cents would continue indefinitely, and all of those with business in Durham—and some who haven’t—have been at tending to it while the coin? was rood and cheap. It’s too (rood to last, in the opin ion of all those who have had even as much experience with gasofine as may be obtained through send ing a garment to the dry cleaners. Few apparently have ever heard of the statute appealed to by the Inde pendents, but everybody baa been predicting an early end to the war.
