Important Decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission has rendered de-
cision in the case of Martin & Co. against
the Southern and Union Pacific railroad
companies, who complained of & greater
charge on dried fruit transported from San
Francisco 10 Denver. Colorado, than for the
longer haul from San Francisco to Kansas
City, Missouri. The commission reach the
conclusion that there is no adequate
grounds for greater rate for the short haul
10 Denver than for the longer haul TO Kan
sas City. In view, however, of the great
detail involved in making readjustlnents of
tariffs upon various lines affecting
large number of points, and believing that
effort is being made in good faith 10 read
just the local tariffs and to simplify and
combine the classifications in use upon
through and local business on the trans
continental lines in accordance with the
requirements of the law and the views of
tine commission already informally ex-
pressed it is considered best 10 allow the
carries an opportunity to complete the
work in which they are engaged. No or
der therefor will be entered in this case for
period of sixty days.
