HARLAN PRAISES POLICY.
Declares That Railways Intend to Deal
SQuarely.

That the railroads have given sub
stantiaI evidence of an intention 10
deal squareIy and literally with the
public in the matter of compliance
with the new rate law, says the Rail-
way Age. is the freely expressed opin-
ion of Commissioner Harlan Of the
Interstate Commerce commission In
discussing this matter recently Mr.
Harlan called attention to the fact that
many decisions had already been rem
dered under the new law. and that
none of them has been made the basis
Of an appeal to the courts or OF any
kind of technical or Fictitious opposi-
ton or delay.
And" Mr.. Harlan added, there is
a great mass of business in which the
commission is coming to be more and
more engaged. and which has grown
much during the past two months, IN
voIving the informal adjustment of
controversies between shippers and
carriers These cases do not reach the
stage of formal complaints or contest
ed hearings
"A shipper. we will say. writes a let
ter to the commission. setting forth
some condition which he regards as a
just cause Of complaint The letter is
taken up by the commission. and one
of the commissioners writes TO the
carrier
1T may be that the commission is
strongly of the opinion that the COM
plant is justified and that the practice
ought to be corrected The carrier Is
told in an entirely unofficial way that
such is the case. and while no order is
issued il is suggested that the cause
of complaint might be removed and
the necessity for a formal complaint
thus done away with
I'm many of these cases-perhaps. 1
may say. in most of these cases-the
carriers have met the commission and
an adjustment has been reached with
out the necessity Of formal COM
plant. hearings. arguments and
order"
