railroads of Ohio, including the Balti-
more & Ohio. the Big Four. the Erie.
the Wheeling & Lake Erie and the
Norfolk & Western. are placing them
selves liable. in the opinion of the Ohio
railroad commission. to fines which in
the aggregate may amount to more
than the enormous penalty assessed
against the Standard Oil company of
Indiana. Unless these roads immed
ately put into effect rules laid down to
them by the commission, action UNI
doubtedly will be brought against
them. Such is the statement made by
heavy shippers who have been inter-
esting themselves in the matter.
These shippers say the commission
holds that the penalties may be as
sesed for failure by the nineteen roads
to abide by the new car service rules
laid down for them by the commission
and which were effective August 1.
Each offense. if the roads are found
guilty, could be punished with a fine
of $4,000, which would make the ag-
create run to millions of dollars.
Circulars are now being prepared
and will be mailed in a few days to
every shipper in Ohio, asking him to
send instructions with each order not
to send even a box of tacks by any of
the roads which defied the commission

seems to be nothing left for the COM
mission to do at that time except to
