idea that he has already put before the
public. Senator Dolliver found it necessary
TO return TO his home today, but he will be
back in Washington within a few days to
remain until the opening Of congress.

Whether the report Will be presented by a
majority or a minority is a matter OF spec
ulation. but the belief was expressed TODAY

NEW PLAN TO FIX RATES
Ohio shippers and Railroads Form
Association to Consider Ques-
tiOns of Determinations.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 2.-The Ohio Ship
pers' association and Ohio railroads have
anticipated any action I'm regard 10 rate
discrimination which may be taken this
winter by President Roosevelt. Secretary
Taft, Senator Foraker, congress or any
person or legislative body. They have come
to an agreement which it is thought will
settle for good any friction which may in
the future arise through an allegation
against the roads of direct discrimination.
The agreement is confined only 10 Ohio,
but is looked on as a great step forward
by all concerned. Details have not been
worked out in full but the primary step
will be To appoint joint commission
three men to represent the Shippers asso-
citation and three men to represent the rail-
roads. All complaints TO rates. instead
of being taken by an individual shipper to
the head of an individual railroad will be
sent to the Shippers association to he re-
ferred by it TO the joint commission for
settlement. 1t is in effect an arbitration OF
all questions by representatives. Of the in
terested persons. The shippers have at
present a similar joint commission which
settles disputes as to movements of cars
1t is looked on as a model throughout the
country and hundreds OF letters of shippers
all through the country have been answered
regarding it's workings.
The announcement that an agreement has
! been reached was made today by Secretary
J. w. McCord of the Shippers association
