Private Car Lines,

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought
under the jurisdiction of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. A rail

statement that lines are paid mileage,
without discrimination, and the ques-
tion of excessive charges is matter
for the shipper to settle with the car

govern their rates. Car mileage pay
ing has been decided to be as legal as
