Trans-U. S. Freight
Rate Reduction
Denied by T. C. C.
Rails Pica for Cut to Meet
Steamer Competition Would
IJurden Lines, Harm Wa
ter Carrier.
Washington, Nov. 11. Application
of transcontinental railroads for au
thority to decrcaae rates to and from
Pacific coast terminal on traffic orig
inating east of the Kocky mountain
or destined therefor, were denied to
day by the Intcratate commerceTcom
mission. The roads had declared the reduc
tion waa necessary to enable them to
meet coast, to coaat competition of
ateamshlp line, granting of their ap
plication, of which wa challenged by
a number of lntermountaln cltle in
cluding Spokane, Salt take City,
Reno and riioenix, would hava re
sulted in making transcontinental
rate generally lower than those on
traftlo to and from . intermediate
points.
All Commodities Covered.
Practically all commodities in
cluded in the commerce from tha Pa
cific coast were covered In the rail
road's application.
The Southern Pacific railroad, bow-
ever, was authorized to reduce rail
and water rates on certain commodi
ties produced in California and des
tined to tho Atlantic coaat via Gal
veston and the Gulf of Mexico steam-
ahlp lines. This will allow the South
ern Pacific and steamship line to
make a Joint rate of 70 cents per 100
pounds on the coaat to coaat move
ment of asphalt, canned goods and
rice, and 80 cents on dried fruits,
even though rate for ahorter dis
tances over the same general route
may be higher. Tha same company
was authorized to maintain almllar
rates on sulphur moving from Louis
iana and Texa to Paclflo coast
points.
Reasonable Compensation,
W'ater competition, the railroad
contended, justified them in lowering
the long distance rate charges on Pa
cific businesa without regard to its
effect on the interior territory or
without considering the injustice of
levying higher freight charges on
movements over short distances than
on long distance shipments on the
same railroads.
The commission held that the rail
roads in the endeavor to hold the traf
fic were Justified in reducing trans
continental rates, but declared In to
day's opinion that they could not' cut
further than a point which would
give them "reasonable compensation"
for tho service performed. The rates
ao cut to meet water competition In
order to be reasonably compensatory,
the commission declared, ahould be
left hlt;h enough to cover additional
expenses Incurred In handling traf

Outlook After
Four Years' Peace
Is Declared Dark
National Civic Federation
Urges Strong Army and
Navy as Only Means of
Assuring Safety.
New York, Nov. 11. Maintenance of
a strong army and navy as the only
mean of assuring tho safety of the
United States under jyeSent troubled
world conditions, was urged In resolu
tions adopted at the closing session of
the National Civic federation's con
ference on international affulra.
"The outlook after four years of
peace is dnrk Indeed," said a declara
tion drawn up as a preamble to the
varioua resolutions adopted.
"With one accord we turn our at
tention to the problem of how civiliza
tion can be saved from Impending
ruin.
"The fourth anniversary of the armi
stice is a significant time for the hold
ing of a conference to consider the
cjuestlona ot Americas international
relations and America's military poli
cy. America took a leading part In
the great struggle and must bear her
share of the responsibility for the set
tlement that followed.
"That settlement bus not brought
pe.-u-e and the statea of Europe and
the near east, so far from composing
their difficulties and reconstructing
their community life, are trembling on
the edge of tho abyss, threatened with
Imnkruptcy, mutually suspicious and
torn by enmities and dissensions,
"The conference recognizes that the
I'nlted Statea must piny the part In
the world to which eminence In cul
tural, political and material develop,
meat entitles It."
The resolution dealing with the
army commended the present national
defense art, but urged that the stand
