By Cable to The Star. LONDON, England, May 8.—An in-) tense war is being fought in Great Britain between the railways, which are failing to earn dividends, and the rapidly expanding motor bus lines. { Representatives of the railroads have | demanded, in hearings befcre the | London trafic commissioner, that road fares be brought into line with nfll tariffs. | “If this form of coach traffic is al-| lowed to expand unconditionally, the railroads must in due course reach a stage 2t which it will be virtually im: possible to function economically, counsel for the Great Western Rallwa; declared.

Cut Rate Called Inducement. “It is the cut rates, not the pleasure, of the bus which entice travel their way,” it was argued at the hearings. Bus operators point out that the railways showed no mercy to the stage coach and ask why, by an officlal in- crease of minimum rates or restriction, | servi the public should be barred frcm the traffic it likes best? They also point out that most of their Winter and Spring trade is business traffic. The commissioner, protecting the railroads from ‘“wasteful competition,” has refused one bus cppllcntion for a route over which tht ralircads were already supplying good service, but al- lowed two others with restrictions. The pick-up points of express busses are strictly limited in the London area. British roads are almost as busy with superbus long-distance expresses today as the railroas are.
