The Seaboard Air Line to-day filed with the Inter-State Commerce Commission a nw tariff of passenger rates, to go in to effect Friday, September 4, making a lower rate in passenger fares than was in effect by the tariff previously filed, which as a result of Judge Sim onton'a order was withdrawn August 8.

The Seaboard has not . yet filed amended lreight tariffs. Portsmouth, Va., September 1 Vice President St, John of the S. A. L. today, in the course of an interview 011 the subject of Judge Simonton's recent decision dissolving the temporary in junction against the Seaboard Air Line, said there was 110 reason why the Sea board should not return to rates in effect previous to the issuance of (he restraining order. Referring to in timations that the ' Southern State Freight Association is 'preparing a tariff on the basis of a 50 per cent, re duction to Seaboard competitive points, ignoring the long and short haul clause of the Inter-State Commerce Com mission, the Commission, he said, will enforce in its own way a law which demands that no higher rate shall be made for a shorter than for' a longer haul, and that the Seaboard would obey this feature of the law in tariffs to be issued, as in the past. 'The present disturbance iu rates," said Mr. St. John, "results from the Southern's efforts to destroy our reve nues and business. We shall defend our property and our rights from at tack, from whatever source it may come and we will continue to oppose to the millions of their bankers the sturdy, unwavering loyalty of the merchants shippers, farmers, manufacturers, pro ducers, and the good people of all the territory tributary to our line in whose interest the conflict is waged, as well as our own."
