EVIL IN IMPORT AND EXPORT THRIFTS These, with Joint Rates, Gives Roads Opportunity to Grant Discrimi nations Which Are Not Easily I nearthed, WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 A summary of the report of the Interstate Commerce com mission is In part as follows: The commission has held that the fur fwshlng of refrigeration is a part of tne transportation itself, and that tne railway Is obliged, under the present 'aw, to pun- Jhl" !llTJ"V"J'f. sJllR.lV..fo.,K.,.,iln.5iSt ing refrigeration is a local service, which Is Omaha stock, proves as popular as other not and on n not he put under tne supervision 1 shows of the country ths committee will of any government tribunal; and mat even t , t the ,Ubscribcrs for their If cuiiKiess mtsiit Unpo.se upon the carrier : " tho duty of furnij-i.ing this service.

It is not J " , K ... . . recommended at this time that the carriers I yon in securing appropriations from breed should be prohibited from using private ; rs' associations which meet at Chicago " ' 'ronl employing the owners or sucn , iind that course to their advantage, but the commission aoes recommend that these chaises should be nut on the same busts ss all other freight charges, so far as they can be. Import and Export Tariffs. The commission has held that the present law requires the publication and mainte nance of export rates, and tuat good policy aisn demands the same course, 'i nere ia no substantial reason why domestic rales should be publisued and maintained which does not aiipiy with equal force to export and Import rates; and to require the pub lication in one cane and dispense with it in the other opens wide the door to all sorts of cliHcrlmir.atloiis not only wltn re spect to Import and export trattic Itself, but also with respect to domestic traffic where ine same person handles both species of business. Through Routes and Joint Rates. The commission observes that, while the third section of the act to regulate com merce attempts to secure the interchange of tradic by connecting railways and to prevent unjust discrimination by any car tier between its dllierent connections, it has been held, both by the courts and the commission, that this part of the tnlrd sec tion is not enforceable, necause no means rle.i'S are now under no legal obligation to establish through routes or Joint rates, and may, at tneir pleasure, withdraw from such arrangements when they have been actually entered into. When it Is considered thai a large part of the most Important rates of this country are Joint rates, it will be seen that the railways have it in their discretion by this means to largely defeat the purpose or the law. and tnat In order to prevent this the commission should have authority to order railways to contloue through routes and Joint rates which are In euect and to prescribe the divisions which the several carriers Khali receive in the dl' trlbution of thosu rates, In case the car riers fall to agreo upon such divisions. It Is also pointed out that dlscriminallons Uh'ainst individuals and against particular species of traffic can lie chicled by the re fusal of a carrier to establish u Joint rate upon given commodities. Complaints nnd Decisions. Tho report shows MS complaints tiled with the commission during tne year. In cluding both formal and uuormal proceed ings. The number of investigations on for mal complatui instituted diuiiiK tne ear is sixty-five, involving directly the rules and practices of oZi carriers. bevemj -iuii hearings and liivestiuaiions utte field in Washington ami iiu:ucrtus cities In various uans of the couutrv. S.x cuh-h wen. I setiiol through concession -of relin by mo I carriers uuu iweniy-iwo euses wei dis continued. Forty-live formal decisions have bueii rendernd during the year. This number, greater man in any previous jear, includes j I CaSOS Of UllfCaSOIIJllile or uiifcasonaii.e rules, utscrimiiia- 1 ! lion between loiulilit r between com. no dules, and lct n e n pel sens, and also in I facilities uf tranrpurlation, with some casts involving' deimrlure from puhiisl.ed laiiif rates and some relating chiefly to repara tion. Nearly every kind of action pro hibited by the reguhiline statute hus been the subject ot decision and order durlni: the past year. The cases are stated brieily In the report under thes.1 headings. Klv.-n of the cases are discussed under the head of unreasonable rates, and 11 few addi tional cases of unreasonable, rules appear In the statement relating to irparutlou. Statistics uf Railways. One of the publications annually Issued by the commission Is a brief report o:i the Income accounts cf operating roads, which is intended to show, at the earliest practic able date, the principal items included in miiway income accounts. The preliminary report for the psst fiscal year Includes re turns for 'a companies, representing an operated mileage of 214.477.sJ miles, which Is presumably about 9S) per cent of the mileage that will subsequently be covered by returns in the final report for the same year. The gross earnings of the railways for tho year ending Jum 30, 1(V"5, on the mileage Just stated were fl.oft.lT'i.ftS. This total comprised earnings from the passcn- fer service, J57'2.1W.3iK: earnings from the reight service, l,4.lxi,702, and miscellane ous earnings, $51 ,8)yi,a7. According to th preliminary report, the gross earnlnirs fmtn onerAtinn nver:irri $H.B66 per mile of line. This average is con- slilerably hifthnr thun the like averagre for ' "'.- ,llfT ycttr 'l''." " statistical re : port hus been published by the commission, The flmii nr,ri r.ir ihn v..r ...Hir, OU, XWl-i, showed lhat the total aross earn logs of tho railways on S12.i'43.W miles of line for tliut year were 91 .97o.174.Cai. being equivalent to IH.SOtf per mile. Of the gross earnings per mile of line, the nansenRer ser vice contributed XiM and the freight ser vice (6,757. The operating expenses of tho railways embraced in the current prelimin ary report amounted to il.3S3.GM.404. thus averaging IH.461 per mile of line. For tho year emliug June 30. the operating ex brumes reported HiiHlly were ,438.8116,63. or 10.31)8 per mile. This advance report gives tho ratio of operating expenses to earnings as 66 74 per cent. The nntU report for the year lao4 gave (17.79 per erut. The prelimin ary report shows that the net earnings of essentially the same roHds were, for the year ending June :W. 19Wi. 'M59l'.9il, and for the year ending June 80. 1904. b,",4.874,0l. The preliminary report shows that the operating companies declared dividends during the year to the "mount of $19K,t0,. 237: it further shows that the dividends de clared by practicallv the same roads during iim )r ibui were iat,si4,4.z. I liese figures indleste an increase in dividends of $U,- i-.. Workmen and Accidents. The hours of labor on railroads is another topic discussed in the report, and the com mission says that the need of a high stand ard or physical and mental condition for certain classes of employes and care on the part of supervisory officers , to see that proper regulations arc maintained and obeyed Is quite generally recognized, and a considerable number of railroads have prescribed rules limiting the number of hours of work and providing rest periods, but these rules appear to have been very poorly enforced. The accidents shown In the monthly re port made by railroads under the law of March 3. 1901, have lieen regularly pub lished In the commission's quarterly bulle tins. The block system, ths lack of which is understood to bs the cause of those acci dents in the most numerous class, has been fully discussed In the last two annual re ports of the commission. The commission has urged the passage of a block-signal law to prevent rear-end collisions, because, first, collisions constitute the greatest single cause of death and In.turles to pas sengers: and, secondly, because this is a preventive which 1m known to be easily applied. The commission further recom mends that the government should Investi gate train accidents and promptly furnish the facts concerning them, Such investiga tion la a matter of publio Interest. bv a heavy cold or cough, your lungs ars helpless till you curs them with Dr. King's Now Discovery.
