A special committee of the principals of the North Atlantic Shipping Conference agreed yesterday on a report on the passage rates to be submitted shortly to a full conference. The growth of the cabin class and tourist class of liners has led to a considerable lowering of the trans-Atlantic fares, and some of the authorities consider that the margin of price between the first and the cabin class accommodation should be lessened.
