.A r-Jt 1 ) ' HATE LAW IN EFFECT ALL RAILWAYS BEGIN COMPLI ANCE WITH STATUTE. Roads Doing Best to Keep Law, but Tariffs Still In Press on Date of Op erationShipper Meets but One Charge Conference in Washington. New York, Aug. 28. The new rail road rate law, which applies to all rail roads dtflng an interstate business, went Into effect at midnight last night. It will be enforced by the In terstate commerce commission. Ac cording to the new law the roads were to have filed with the commission by midnight all tariffs and charges, show ing not only the full cost of trans portation from point to point, but also what ltemB go to the making up of this cost. From today on there can bo no "extras," but the shipper Is ex pected to he able to obtain In advanco a final statement of the charge he has to meet. It was stated that In fact not a single compnny has been able to com ply fully with the provisions of the law requiring them to have all their schedules on file by midnight. Tho schedule of swltchmg charges was tho moBt difficult of completion and It Is said that no road has been able to finish It in time to file as tho law di rected. Under the law every company which I failed to complete its schedules may be fined, but it Is understood that the Interstate commerce commission will give additional time In every case, when a road has given evidence of sincere Intent to comply with the law. To discuss this and other points, a committee representing the big east ern railroads will go to Washington today In order to meet the commis sion. The conference will be attended by representatives of the anthraclto coal roads, who are anxious to obtain a ruling from the commission on that section of the law which prohibits a railroad from carrying from state to state any article manufactured, mined or produced by It. except for Itn own use. This would Include coal. It is expected that shippers will find themselves benefited by the provision which requires the railroads to Includo all charges of whatsoever nature tn their quoted rates. Heretofore a shipper has had to figure for himself on Icing, refrigerator and elevator charges, and the dozen or more other incidentals, dickering with the sep arate companies which had a hand In the transportation or care of his ship ment. Now tho railroad must do that and tho shipper meets but one chargo and deals with but one concern. All the sources of side charges are con solidated and private cars, sidetracks, spurs, terminals, olevators are made subject to tho law. As a direct consequence of the pro vision of the rate bill, the Union Pa cific railway has determined to Install Its own system of refrigerator cars. Tho new law also requires the rail roads to establish a uniform system of accounting, and to keep their books open for Inspection at all times by the expert accountants of tho commission. The feature Is expected to go far to ward abolishing the rebate evil of tho past. Forces of clerks from all express companies have for the last few days been engaged here in the task of re vising express rates to comply with the provisions of tho rate bill, but have been unable to finish their task in time to file schedules with the In terstate commerce commission before tho bill became effective. Tho public will reap no benefit from the new ar- rancement. The rates will not be low. erod. Tho rates of every company will bo Identical with those of every other.

Y., Aug. 25. Presi dent Roosevelt has endorsed the Car negie spelling reform movement. Ho issued orders to Public Printer Still ings that hereafter all mesaageB from the president and all other documents emanating from the white houso shall be printed In accordance with the rec ommendation of the spelling reforn committee headed by Brander Mat thews, professor of English at Colum bia university.
