FEEDER RATE HIGH
And Railroads Must Reduce
by April 15 or Commission
Will Take Action
it
Washington March 25 The in
tersfcate commerce commission to
day decided that the prepesnd in
crease of 331 per cent ja the
rate on feeder cattle and sheep
madie by all of the western rail
roads was not justified The
commission expects all of the car
riers to cancel proposed advanc
es by April 15 If they should fail
to- cancel them voluntarily the
commission will issue a perempt
ory order
Existing rates on feeder cat
tle are approximately 75 per cnet
of the rates on fat cattle The
railroads contended this low rate
was a gratuity which they
could withdraw at will

EASTERN RAILROAD
ENGINEERfS REFUSED
INOEASE IN PAST
New York March 25 Fifty
railroads comprising practically
all the lines east of Chicago anel
north of the Norfolk AVcrt ra
today reined to grant an in
crease in wages demanded by
their locomotive engineers
The engineers demnd pre
sented January 22 was for an
increase amounting to about 10
per cent a year The railroads
refusal is based on the assertion
that they are finanoiallv unable
to bear the increased expens
The railroads in ther reply
pointed out that the prop cad in
crease will amount to 7553702
annually which would be equiva
lent to placing on their property
a lien of 1888448 S of 4 per
cent securities which would have
preference over first mortgage
bond and to just thai extent
would lessen the ability cf the
roads to1 make the cmprovciients
necessary to increase the effic
iency of their service and to in
sure greater safety to the pub
lic anel employes
At the conclusion of the con
ference of the locomotive
this- afternoon lit was an
nounced that they would not
from their position in their
demand for increasad wages It
is likely that another joint con
ference may be held
COMMISSION ASSERTS
SUPREMACY ON RATES
Washington March 25 The
interstate commission in an opin
ion made public yesterday estab
lished the far reaching principle
that a railroad must so adjust its
rates that jusice will be done be
tween communities regardless of
state lines If a railroad makes
a low rate upon traffic wholly
within a state even when forced
to do so by a state commission
it must accord the same rate to
interstate traffic moving under
substantially similar conditions
The principle was laid down by
a vote of 4 to 3 The minority
held that the powers of congress
were usurped by the majority
opinion and that the remedy for
sueh a rrtuation should be applied
through additional legislation as
in the case cf the railroad com
