Nebraska Will Not Have Production
in Freight Rates Until July 4.

IN Freight Rates Untii July =.
Lincoln, May 9.-The state railway
commission finds its hands are tenn
porarily tied in the matter of reduc-
ing freight rates and express com
pany charges under the new law. The
difficulty arises from the fact that
senate file No. 1926, the maximum
freight rate bill, and senate file No.
S55, the one reducing express charges,
do not carry the emergency clause
and will not become effective until
July 4. Both these measures empower
the commission either TO raise or low
er the rates thCrGin specified. How
ever, since the acts are as yet without
force, the commission cannot proceed
under them. The railway commission
law, house roll No sos, gives the
board general authority to fix or alter
rates of any kind and in any way, but
the members fear that if they adopt
any schedules now the carriers affect
ed will come into court, claiming that
the action taken supersedes the maxi
mum rate laws.
The maximum freight law, when II
takes effect, will reduce rates IS per
cent and express company charges
% per cent. Chairman Winnett Of the
commission, however, said that body
would not show undue haste, waiting
until July 4, ore at least until the
attorney general had rendered an opin'
ion declaring the act creating the
commission would not conflict with
the other law.
