EFFECr OF THE RECENT AMENDMENTS EX.
Planned nv TIVE prNNsyIvANYA COMPANY


planned BY THE PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY.
Pittsburg, March 16.-The Pennsylvania Company
officials have sent out circular Of Instructions to
their agents in conformity with the requirements Of
the amended Interstate Commerce law Particular
attention is directed to the fact that shippers render
themselves liable to q term Of Imprisonment and
fine Of $1,000 II they falsely represent the contents
Of packages sent by them In order to have them
the smaller rate OF lower classification. Since tho
amendments to tho law were made the
railroad officials have been IN communication with the
Interstate Commerce Commissioners to the interprc
taton of some OF the most important points. The
answers Of the commissioners are contained in the
circular Just issued. Regarding section six. which is
about the ten days notice for advance In joint
fares and rates and three days notice for reduction,
the commissioners say that the time In each case
is TO be computed from the day when the notice Of
advance or reduction reaches the oce of the CON-
missoners in Washington Before this decision
was made on March Z. tho railroad officials were
undecided whether 1t necessary to give such
notice 10 tho commission and then date tho ten
days from that time "Jolnt tariffs are implied In
the transportation Of passengers and freight con-
hnuous lines or routes operated by moro than one
carrier, The commissioners also rule that the CON-
mission Is required To enforce the provisions of the
act, which makes It ths duty of every United States
District tAttorney, upon the request Of the COM
miSSion, to institute and prosecute all necessary
proceedings for that purpose. The effect of the
amendments Is 10 place joint tariffs and Individual
tarfns under substantially tho same rules. In
gard TO export rates, the commission decides that
tho law conemplstes that all traffic from inland points
designed for export by sea must be taken under a
joint tariff, or an individual tariff: Under these
tariffs tho inland rate TO the point Of export cannot
be varied without subiectng tho carrier 10 the
penalties imposed for violation Of the law.
Since the amended law went into effect on March .,
railroad officials say that 1t Is noticeable that there
has been sudden stop Of rumors Of ratecutting or
other manner Of breaking the law and that both
railway people and shippers careful In
observing the law since they now threatened with
nne and Imprisonment.
