THE REFRIGERATOR LINES
And Railroad Seem to Be Violating In
tcrstate Commerce Law.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The interstate
commerce commission on its own initia-
tive and as result Of complaints against
private car lines. today, unexpectedly
began an investigation of the relations
between railroads and refrigerator lines,
by which 1t is charged that the act to
regulate interstate commerce is being
violated in several specified particulars.
The complaint set forth by the commits
sion is directed against the Armour Car
Line. the American Refrigerator Trans
portation Co. the Santa Fe Refrigerator
Dispatch and the following railroads:
st. Louis & Santa Fe; AtchisoR. To-
pcka & Santa Fe; St. Louis, Iron Noun
tain & Southern: Central of Georgia
Southern; Atlantic Coast Line; Seaboard
Air Line; Pennsylvania; Southern Pa
cinc. and Kansas City Southern.
The railroads and refrigerator lines are
made respondents lin proceedings which
require that specific answer to allega-
tions be made ITO the interstate commerce
commission by Sept. ..
1T is alleged that by rebates the re-
1riserator lines are acting for the rail-
roads as authorized agents and the rail
roads acting through the refrigerator
hnes are collecting and receiving for the
refrigeration of fruit and vegetables low
er rates from some shippers than they
are receiving for similar service rem
dered other shippers. This is held to be
in violation of Sections and 8 of the act
to regulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure to pub
lish and file with the interstate COM
merce commission the rates imposed for
the refrigeration Of fruits and vegetables
constitutes the violation of Section 6 of
the interstate commerce act
The commission alleges further that
charges in certain specified territories
are unjust and in violation of Section l.
Complaints against the private car
lines extend over the entire life of the
first act to regulate interstate commerce
and all acts amendatory thereto
The acton taken by the interstate COM
merce commission indicates belief that
certain cases set forth in the proceed
ingS can be reached under the present
laws. In any event the proceedings are
looked upon as a test, and .. Is believed
they will prove of ineStmabe value In
informing Congress what new laws are
needed for national control of private
car lines where combinations are made
with railroads which affect the freight
and refrigerator schedule.
