THE BAKERS WIN.
But VIII an Increase In the Price of
Bread Result?

As sequel to the journeymen bakers
lock. out several weeks ago, the demand
made by the Bakers Assembly, Knights
of Labor, on Monday for a reduction of
the number of working hours has been
granted by the bosses and the new
schedule is now in effect. Hereafter
the hours of labor per day will be ten
or less with one half hour reduction for
lunch and twelve hours from Friday ia
Saturday.
All of the employing bakers have
agreed to the new arrangement but
some of them think the price of bread
will have to be increased owing to
this reduction, and the fact that the
price of flour has advanced 81 on the
barrel, while wheat is away up in the
cereal market. The reduction of hours
will also nccessitate the employment OF
additional hands at many of the
bakeries.

Rates on Petroleum Made by Compel
Ing Rail and water Lines
A lengthy decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, made by Com
missioner Bragg, was announced to-day
in the case Of George Rice against the
Southern Pacific Company, the Union
Pacific Railway Company, the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company and others. In reference to
rates on petroleum and It's products to
California points as affected by the long
and.short haul clause Of the act TO regu-
late commerce.
The decision Is In favor Of the rail
lines, and says that the companies have
a right to make lower rates at California
water and terminal points TO meet the
competition Of the water lines without
reducing their rates az intermediate
points where no competition exists.
As TO the transcontinental lines the
complaint is dismissed, but Is held for
further evidence and investigation In
the case Of certain Southern and South
western railroads, who are also parties
defendant In the proceeding.
