NO IMMEDIATE REVOLUTION
Some Of the Important Features
Must Await Future Ad-

Present interstate railroad rates must
remain absolutely unchanged until Sep

effect August 2S, automatically accom-

Il is this feature of the law with
which the railroads of the country have
declared their greatest dissatisfaction,
Under the present law, application must
be made 20 the Interstate Commerce
Commission zen days before "a rate can
be increased, six days before a rate can
be decreased Under the Hepburn act
no rate can be changed short Of thirty
days notice The railroads want 10
change some rates. at times, on less
than thirty days notice; they want TO
change others without any notice at

No Immediate Changes.
The new law will take effect next
Tuesday without accomplishing an i'm
mediate revolution. Two of the i'm
.ortant features will await future ad-
Justment one is the provision com
peUing the immediate Ming of all
schedules with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The other is the one de
vising a uniform system of accounting
and bookkeeping.
The anti-pass provision of the Hep
burn act is not effective until January J.
The railroad attorneys have privately
declared that they can drive coach
and four through it-if they want 20.
That they do not really desire 10 DO so
