DISCUSS PHASES OF NEW Law
All Day Conference Between Shippers
and Railroad Representatives

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-To discuss
certain phases of the railroad rate law
which took effect today there was a con-
ference which lasted the greater part
of the day between the members of the
interstate commerce commission and
representatives of the railroads and
shippers of the country.
The railroad officials present num-
bered thirty-four, among whom were
President Caswell of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, Vice President
GARNER of the New York Central, Coun-
sci Massey of the Pennsylvania and
General Counsel Marsey of the Missouri
Pacific, while F. Bentley of Chicago, ],
A. Farley of Dallas, Texas, and James
Maynard of Knoxville, Tenn, were
among the speakers for the shippers
The American Shippers association and
the Illinois Manufacturers association
were represented.
The railroads uniformly gave assur-
ance of their intention to comply fully
with the new law, but presented their
views as to the operation of certain
provisions, among the points urged
being extension of time in which car
riers may file their tariffs with the
commission; continuance of the present
method of posting tariffs; objection to
any change in export rates pending a
full hearing, and the absolute concur
renee of all the carriers interested be-
fore the establishment of joint rates.
The Shipeprs' association representa-
tives urged the protection of their in
terests, particularly against the rail-
roads shifting classification, so as to
put up rates, and contending for the
discretion of the commission in the ex-
port and import changes and for the
publication of tariffs in the full ac-
ceptance of that term.
The commission reserved decision OF
the questions brought up.

RUBBER HEELS FOR. FLATTERS
Latest Innovation for Securing Quiet
in Crowded Washington
Ana rtnnent Houses

WASHINGTON; Aug. 2S.-Rubber
heels for fiat dwellers at the expense of
landlords is the latest innovation of
renting agents here, There is a clause
in the more recent leases of apartment
houses that every member of family
must wear rubber heels on shoes while
in the apartments.
The innoVa ton is to secure some
manner of quiet in the crowded apart
ment houses. Where go-carts are per-
mitted it is specified that the wheels
must be equipped with rubber tires.
On moving in tenants are sent to a
nearby shoemaker who has contract
with the landlord to equip their shoes
with the noiseless heels, and conse-
quently there is never any complaint Of
"the racket overhead" in that house

Tie demand for houses to rent was
never so great in Yakima as at the
present time and rents were never so
high and. so hard to touch. 1t is al
most impossible to rent a house at
the present time. The man who has

coming OH and no place to go, and
there are q number of people about
the city who are compelled to "get

There are 20 applicants for every
available house and rents are climbing
sky high, In some instances bids are
given ON suitable locations and the
highest bidder gets the place, not
permanently. but with the proviso that
he must go at a months notice. With
the large number of new dwellings
that have been huilt this year the sup
ply was thought to be sufficient to
meet the demand, but this is not the
case.

for IS and $40 are now renting at
