TO FILE TARIFFS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
 Give Hearing.

Washington, December 2.-To obtain the views of representatives of railroads and all interested shippers on the promulga- tion of railroad tariffs on export and im- port traffic, the interstate commerce conn mission has fixed a hearing on the sub ject to be held here December r. The
 enmisson says:
 "The commission has held the opinion and has officially so decided that the law relating to the publication and filing of tariffs applies as well to export and im- port traffic as to domestic traffic.
 This requirement of the law as re- spects export and import shipments con- tinues to be disregarded to a greater or less extent, and 1t is believed to be the duty of the commission to insist upon it's observance.
 ''To this end it is proposed to give gen. eral notice that from and after January |, 1904. the commission will require the pub lcation and filing of tariffs on export and import traffic. the same as on do- nestle traffic. unless convinced that the obligation to do SO is not imposed By the statute.'
