Decisions by the Commissioners or the West

Break Up Associations in Genersls
Four decisions by the Commissioners OF the
Western Traffic Association were given out
yesterday by Chairman Walker Tho first de-
MES an application for the reduction OF mini
mum weight on fruit shipped In refrigerator
cars from $4,000 to 10000 pounds. Another
sets forth that the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison acted in violation of the agreement
In withdrawing the leather traffic between
California and Texas from the jurisdiction Of
the Western Traffic Association. and that the
rates on such shipments should be at once re-
stored to their former basis
A third opinion authorizes tho Northern Pa
ciflo road to establish n rate of eighty cents per
100 pounds on material for the construction Of
merchant marine vessels from Pittsburgh to
Tacoma. with tho understanding that II the
rate is found to be applied on other material.
or is likely to involve similar reduced rates to
other Pacific coast points, the tariff thus au-
thorzed shall be withdrawn.
As a result OF the recent complaints concern
Ing the manipulation Of cast-bound rates q
secret meeting was held in Chicago yesterday
by the various fast freight lines. Charges have
been made that irregular practices were in
dulged In by the freight lines. All at the
meeting. however. stoutly. denied tho allcga-
ton and assert ell that their conduct had been
above reproach.iA!r Henry of the !.ehigh Valley
Transportation Company said that so far as
his line is concerned not q rate has been
shaded He declared that his company had oil
the business it could handle ut tariff rates and
there was no temptation to cut. 1t is possible
that the lines that were manipulating rates
hove taken alarm and ceased their wrong
doings.
1t Is reported in Chicago that Special Agent
Kretsclimer OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has begun a crusade on railroad traffic
organizations, with a view to having them
pronounced illegal BY the courts. The first
blow. it Is said. will DO struck at the Trans.
Missouri Association. and the Grand Jury at
Topeka will be asked to indict Chairman Smith
and every traffic man who is q member Of that
association. The contention Of Mr.. Kretschmer
is that combinations for the regulation Of rail
way traffic are trusts and in CONFIRMATION Of
the Interstate Commerce act. He will also try
to prove that the pooling Of traffic is not tho
least Of the offences committed. The trafie
officials In Chicago are apparently not alarme ed
by the report. They do not believe such q
movement can ever be successful.
