BATE WAR ON TRUNK LINES IS ALMOST INEVITABLE. Washington, April 27. —A rate war among the eastern trunk lines is nearly inevitable in the opinion j of the interstate commerce com-} mission. Thus far the trouble ex- ' rends only to rates on import traf fic, westbound, but the likelihood ; is that it will extend, before aj great while, to domestic traffic,; The trouble was precipitated; some time ago by the Boston and. Maine Railroad in wiping out a differential of one cent a hundred pounds on import traffic, west bound which had existed for years between Boston and ports of New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. It was not expected that the trunk lines would meet the recent reductions; by the Boston and Maine railroad, hi) t a day or two ago the Chesapeake tu)i] Ohio re duced its rate, effective May 24, from Noriolk to meet the Boston ami Maine's rate. The Baltimore and Ohio made a like rate, effec tive from Baltimore on May 5, from Philadelphia on June 1. The Pennsylvania also tiled a like rate from Baltimore effective on Juue but thus far has filed no rate from Philadelphia. Such a rate probably wili be filed in a day or two. VICTORY FOR THE U. B.
