COMPLY WITH NEW LAW

Washington. July 2Z-Chairman Knapp
of the interstate commerce commission,
on behalf of the commission. has directed
a letter to all the railroad companies and
corporations of the United States direct
ing their special attention to section of
the recently enacted railroad freight rate
law. The section provides that every COM
mon carrier subject to the provisions Of
the act shall file with the commission and
keep open to the public for inspection,
scheduled Showing all the rates. fares
and charges for transportation between
different points on its own route, and be-
tween points on it's own route and points
on the route of any other carrier by rail
road pipe line or by water when
through route and joint rates have been
established.
After quoting in the letter the whole
of section of the law, Chairman Knapp
says:
Schedules Must Be Changed
ut Is manifest that existing schedules
must be changed or amended to bring
them in full compliance with the pro-
visions of the law above set forth. These
changes or amendments can be made most
satisfactorily and at the same time with
greater uniformity. through the prompt
action and corporation of all carriers
subject to the law and to that end such
carriers, through special committees or
their representatives in traffic associa-
tions. are requested to Immediately con-
fer and thereupon present to Gre commit
tee such methods of procedure represent
ing the changes necessary TO be made In
tariff construction, Including the sim
pliication of present rules and regula-
tions. and of exceptions to the applica-
eion of specified rates, the definite state
ment of joint routes upon which through
rates are to apply, and appropriate means
of certainty indicating every evidence of
concurrence in joint rates. both to the
commission and to the public. while al the
same time providing for plainly show
ing upon suitable schedules the services
and the various charges required by the
law TO be published and filed.
Reserves Right to Issue Orders.
1.-THE commission is of opinion that this
duty should rest primarily with the car
riers themselves in view of their liability
to forfeitures and penalties in cases Of
failure to comply with the mandatory
requirements of the sixth section.
THE commission will however. cordial
ly cooperate with representatives of the
carriers. and will freely discuss with
them all pertinent questions which may
arise. reserying always its right TO make
at such times as may appear necessary
any general or special order or orders
within the scope of its authority.
Methods so proposed by carrieds
should embrace those designed TO effect
immediate substantial compliance with
the amended law, as well those intend
ed to be permanently applicable.
