BIRD ON COMMERCE LAW
Delivers Address Before Association
OF lsailrond Commissioners.


Milwaukee. May 3O.The feature OF
the forenoon session yesterday of the
National Association of Railroad Com
smissioners was an address by A. c..
Bird. vice president OF the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway. on En-
forcement of the Interstate Commerce
Law. MIR. Bird contended that the in
sterstate commerce law was So drawn as
sto make IL Imperative especially so
when considered III connection with the
Sherman antitrust act. In the first
place there is no definite standard OF
rea asonableness or of relative reasona-
DieGesS; there is no guide but individ-
ual opinion and there are usually as
many opinions as interests-and many
circumstances and conditions which
appeal strongly to one interest are re-
pudiated by rival interests. One prin-
ciple must. however, be Kept in view,
that is. that no rates which are subject
to frequent or violent fluctuations can
be reasonable. Another is that the only
approximate test of a ratio is compari-
son. A rate of long standing and sat
isfactory to all concerned may sudden
| ly become unsatisfactory and unrea-
sonable by comparison with newly es-
| tablished rate on some other article or
to or from some other market.
He cited three propositions as essen
tial to good public policy:
First-Rates must be reasonable in
all respects.
second-To be so they must not be
subject to frequent or violent fiuctua-
tions.
Third Competition must have full
sway: to prevent it is criminal, altho i,
Inevitably causes frequent and violent
fluctuations of rates.
In conclusion ne felt justified in say,
ing that the interstate commerce Law
is not more fully complied with becaus,
everything necessary to Its observance
] Is essentially prohibited by Law.
