Brunches to Close?
Part of a message from Mr. R. Stanley Dollar which appeared in the "Daily. Colonist" of Victoria,. B.C., on April S, reads:-
Competition in the Orient be tween the Seattle and San Fran- cisco American steamship lines will be immediately eliminated. The Pacific Mail offices in Japan, China, the Philippines and other parts of the Far East are to be closed and the business of both the Seattle and San Francisco ser- vices of the Dollar interests will be handled by the agencies of the Admiral Oriental Line..
"The, keen rivalry between the San Francisco and Seattle Ameri- can lines and the disposition of one organization to fight for business at the expense of the other will be eliminated.
