Interstate Commerce Commission VIII |
Enforce Rullng on Iintes.

Interstate Commerce Commission viii
Enforce Ruling on Rates.
Washington. Aug. 1S.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission today
filed suits in the United States Court
at Wilmington, n. c.. against 40 rail-
roads to compel them to respect the
order of the commission preventing
discrimination against Wilmington in
favor OF Norfolk ana Richmond.
The suit grows out OF proceedings
brought by the Wilmington Tariff AS
ISOLATION before the commission to
prevent such discrimination.
Rates from st. Louis, Chicago, East
st. Louis were much lower to Norfolk
and Richmond than to Wilmington.
The commission sat in Wilmington
and took a great deal OF evidence IN
the case. 1t found tuat the rates from
Cincinnati and Louisville to Norfolk
were much lower than those from st.
Louis and Chicago by Norfolk. The
rates from Cincinnati and Louisville to
Wilmington appeared to be Just.
1t was decided that the basis Of rates
from Cincinnati. st. Louis, Chicago
and Louisville to Norfolk and the rates
from Cincinnati and Louisville to Will
mington would be a fair basis on
which to compute just rates from
Chicago and st. Louis to Wilmington.
The railroads, which include the
Southern Railway. the Seaboard Air
Line and the Atlantic Coast Line, and
practically every other road of any i'm
portance in the Mississippi Valley and
the Southern States, ignored the order.
AS the commission has no legal ma
chinery to enforce its orders, the mat
ter was taken into the Federal Courts.

There are about 2000 American SOL

believed this number is sufficient to
defeat the Moros, although it would
possibly be necessary to strengthen
their base before undertaking the
movement.

Of the Warnke Mashery. at Duryea,
where the riot Of last Thursday oc-
Cured. and where another IA feared

The pan is to protect the workmen
who want to work. Sheriff Jacobs ad-
mits that II there is such another out
break he will ask for troops. Govern
or Stone has conferred with him and
has directed the officers Of the Ninth
and Thirteen Regiments to have their
men In readiness to respond to a call.
Frederick Warnke, the owner OF the
washery, is going to start work, know
ing That it will enrage the L,thuaniars
and Italians, who compose much Of
the population of Duryea and the sew
eral small towns near It,
Warnke expects troops to be sent, so
do the operators, unless the local
county authorities can hold the crowds
in check
President Mitchell classes the plan
as the same as that by which the Debs

ed-forcing violence to bring the
troops TO the scene and resuming oper-
ations under their protection.
With $50 soldiers at Shenandoah
and with two regiments and the City
Troops Of Philadelphia at Duryea, SOL
diers would be able to protect all the
properties OF the big coal companies,
and, under their protection. sufficient
men might be obtained TO resume work
at several OF the mines. Many OF the
strikers would then return to work.
and the strike in MS way be broken
up.
To guard against violence, President
Mitchell has sent officers of the union
to the scene. and stringent orders are
issued that all UNION mon shall stay
away frcm the washery. but shall aid
in dispensing any crowd that forms.
Peace committees have been appointed
and will aid the local authorities. while
