Chicago, Nov. 10.-The Record
Herald today says: In his message
to congress President Roosevelt will
incorporate certain radical recommen-
dations regarding the interstate CON-
merce commission and probably urge
the passage of remedial legislation
which will place the commission in
a position to become a power for good
in the traffic world. The essential
facts secured by the investigation
which closed yesterday are: Railroads
east and west cut export rates con-
stantly and do not publish their ax-
port rates. Conditions exist in the
central freight association which NOR
ally proves the roads eastbound from
Chicago are pooling on grain and
grain products. Cut rates in exports
are due largely to the competition af
water routes which are not under the
supervision of the commission. The
bulk of grain for domestic use moves
las export grain, thereby being granted
a cut rate. A substantial discrepancy
exists between the rates on grain and
flour, and hay is classified higher than
kindred products.
