VIII Add Millions OF Dollars to Their
Income-Pase Onenses Said to
Have Been Cordoned.

Washington City. April ls.-A number Of
railroad men. including President Stick
ney. of the Chicago & Great Western.
have called on the interstate commerce
commission during the past week and
talked with the commissioners regarding
the effect of the recent decision of the SUI
prerne court in the Brown case. They said
it was the intention of the railroads TO
obey the laws. and that the decision was
likewise beneficial TO them in many re-
spects. In a general way they said they
would endeavor to assist the commission
in securing compliance with the law, but
1t Is denied at the commission that any
deal was made with them, and IL is point
ed out that the commission could not so
act ii it desired. Chairman Morrison,
when told the purport Of the publication,
denied that any negotiation or deal had
been entered into with the railroads look
ing to discontinuance of prosecution in
cases begun prior 20 the Brown decision.
He said: The commission has nothing to
do with 1t, and it has made no agreement
OF the kind, on paper or verbally. with
any one. We intend to secure obedience
to the law and will take every measure
necessary TO reach that end
Chicago. April 1s.-The Evening Post
says: A new deal is reported TO have been
entered into between the various railroad
organizations throughout the country. and
the interstate commerce commission, un-
der which cut rates are to become a thing
of the past. Millions of dollars are to be
added 10 the income Of the roads. The
commission, 1t is said. is 10 drop all pro-
ceedings against the roads for breaches
of the law committed prior to the render
ing Of the supreme courts decision in the
Brown case, under the supposition that
legislation protected the roads and the
officials from furnishing evidence 10 con-
Wet themselves. Both commission and
roads are to start out on a new career of
combined usefulness and enforcement and
observance of the law. On their. part the
roads undertake to stop their discrimina-
tions in favor Of big shippers. to treat all
persons and places alike. and to becoma
agents of the commission in enforcing the
law.
