NEW RATE LAW
Plays Havoc With the Grain Garry
ing. Railroads Of the West.

Washington, July 9.-The great
grain carrying railroads of the west
have come face to face with a propo-
sition under the new rate law that
brings into question the validity of
their methods of handling that pro-
duct in the elevators they own along
the lines of their roads and at ter
minals. The new law prohibits rail-
roads owning or dealing in the pro-
ducts they transport, this proviso hav-
ing been inserted in the Jaw to pre-
vent combinations on the part of the
coal carrying roads.
The big railroad interests of the
vest that control the wheat output
realize, thet seriousness of the new
situation and have had representatives
in washington endeayoring to find
just where they are in regard to the
new law. Recently a representative
of Missouri railroad came here to
confer with the interstate commerce
commissioners. but with what result
1 is not known. The new law contains
a definition of what constitutes
transportation" definition exceed
| ingly broad and comprehensive. 1t
includes elevator storage, etc. The
railroads are now in a quandary as
to whether they must cease leasing
their elevators and operate them them
selves. If they can't lease them, but
must operate them for themselves in
order to bring the whole business of
elevator service, cleaning and stor-
oge of grain in transit within the re-
quirements of the law the question is
asked will not such roads be violating
that section that prohibits railroad
from dealing in those articles it
transports. The new law will be oper-
ative before this years crops move,
and if the usual methods of railroad
companies are in violation of the law
the roads involved will be subject to
severe penalties.
