kTO BE RENEWED.
The Rata War to Break oat A gala Between
the Seaboard aad Southern.-: ,
Tbe Baltimore News of yesterday
afternoon says : As foreshadowed in
The' News, a renewal of the rate war
from Baltimore to the south is only
a question of time, and that time, It
would seem, Is not far off unless the
managements of the Seaboard Air
Line system and the Southern Rail
way Company'adjust tbe differences
that exist between them within the
next few days. .
President R- Curzm Hoffman of
tjf teeaboard Air Linc'system was
Vfr . " reporter ior iw
If At . j . f .a i a Nil. .
vws in rciereoce w uie proepeuuvo
ofostilitea and .white he
", eomit himseir, he intl-
mat Ail that iha VanhAnorl isrit 11 IvA.
mated that the. Seaboard. would be-
gtn slashing rates again if the South'
ern persisted In its present pMcy
toward tbe Seabord that Is, deny
ing the latter through" passenger
service between New York and New
Orleans, and running the line of
steamers between Baltimore- and
Norfolk, in opposition to the Bay
Line, which Is owned by the Sea
board Air Line.
"I hay not outlined my pollicy as
yet, ' said Mr. Hoffman, "but you
may say that the management will
protect the interests of the. company
at all hazzards. I was in hopes thrt
when the negotiations for the trans
fer of the control of the proper y to
the New 1 York 'people fell through
the Southern would be willing to
withdraw its objection to what are
undoubtedly .our. rights and restore
harmony jf it does that, of course we
Will be satisfied, and trouble will be
averted, but if it ignores our claims
as it has done, the responsibility
must be upon the shoulders of the
Southern Railway Company and not
upon the Seaboard Air Line system.
The -.Seaboard will insist upon fair
treatment.and if it is denied us then
we will take steps to enforce our
rights. It is premature, however,
to talk of another rate war. For the
present T Will take no action. I will
awaildevelopment," i M
U Is almost-certain that the Penn
sylvania will soon tecome involved
la--the pending controversy unless
it will consent to haul the Seaboard's
ears between Washington and New
which under an aggre-
ment existing with the Southern the
Pennsylvania is sail to be prohibit
ed from doing.
The Louisville and Nashville and
tbe Southern have, It ts understood,
similar traffic arrangements' for the
operation of trams between Mont
gomery; and New Orleans, and so it
is likely, tbe Louisville and Nash
ville would fitidX ttself" involved in
difficulties with the 'Seaboard also.
