The New England Traffic league has already been in touch with the discus sions leading up to this proposed rate increase, and is preparing to contest this disturbance of relationships. The leagur will make every effort to hold the present adjustment, which is of long standing, and to which we are entitled on account of our water transportation. It is to be expected that the carriers and shippers favorable to the rates proposed will work be necessary to malntain situation. the efits of our water competition with the tween the rates in this territory and the and Pittsburgh be maintained.
