About forty-five people are employed
al the library and the pay roll amounts

Ory department has not given any
money TO the library pending the in

money. Mr.. Spoford has held the office
Of librarian for many years and is

INTERSTATE COMMERCE. COM

SUE A CIRCULAR.
THE LAW ON THE SUBJECT.
TONNAGE AGREEMENTS ARE IL
LEGAL. BUT THEY MAY BE
ADVANTAGEOUS.
NO OFFICIAL APPROPRIATION.
Neither Can the Commission Take
the Initiative in Criminal
Actions.

WASHINGTON, July 1o.-Numer-
Gus statements OF tonnage agree
ments entered into by various rail-
roads and allegations that the agree
nents were sanctioned by the inter
state commerce commission have re-
suited in the issuance of a circular
letter in which the commission calls
the attention OF all railroads to the
statutory prohibition Of pooling
agreements. The question whether
tonnage agreements are actually en-
braced within the language OF the
act relating 10 interstate commerce
is an unsettled one, and the ques-
ton has not yet been raised. and.
accordingly, their legality has not
yet been decided No complaints of
violation Of the law through the
making Of tonnage agreements have
been fled here. but the commission
has sent its letter 10 the railroads
in order 10 dissipate the idea that
such agreemtns were officially ap-
proved, or have been under consid-
Grafton in any way. The majority
Of the members of the commission
are in favor Of certain amendments
TO the interstate commerce act, and
regard the pooling prohibition pro-
vision as interfering materially with
the enforcement of the act At least
several members of the commission
personally are in favor OF authoriz-
ing pooling and deprecate its pro-
hibition- Respecting reports that
the commission would bring criminal
actions AGAINST railroads that are
parties TO tonnage agreements, II is
stated that il is not within the
province Of the commission to take
action in criminal cases against g
road, further than 10 refer matters
TO the department of justice. This
would be the procedure in cases of
specific complaints TO the commits
sion that the law was being violated
by the tonnage agreements. II is
denied that there is any intention TO
bring a test case TO settle the Ques-
ton Of the legality Of the tonnage
agreements
