DECISION IN GRAIN CASE /
InterState Commerce Commission
Rules on One Complaint of
Kansas Milling Company,

WASHINGTON. July 9.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission today, in an opinion
by Commissioner Prouty, announced its
decision in the case Of the Howard Mills
company against the Missouri Pacific Rail
way company and other carriers The COM
plsnant alleged that the defendant carriers
unduly Disseminated against Kansas mill
ers in favor of California millers by ex-
acting rates for the transportation OF flour,
which was 10 cents greater per 100 pounds
than the rates contemporaneously exacted
for transportation of wheat from Wichita
and other shipping points in Kansas to
points in California known "PRcihc
coast terminals" and also by eXactinS
rates for the transportation of -four, which
were $ per cent per 100 pounds greater
than the rates contemporaneously eNacted
by them for the transportation Of wheat
from the said shipping poins to Phoenix,
Ariz. The commission decided that the
flour rates between the shipping and des-
tlnation points should not exceed the wheat
rates between such points by more than
cents per 100 pounds
The commission says that there is no
inhexible requirement that rates upon grain
and the products Of grain should be under
all circumstances the same, but that car
riers may, in Just regard for their own
interests or to meet special conditions, vary
those rates within narrow lirlitS When.
however, the relation has been established
business developed and money expended
upon the strength of 1t, then the carrier
cannot in the absence Of some sufficient
reason, change that relation, nor would
the commission direct such a change

inent Catholic educators are attending the
annual convention of the Catholic Educa-
tional association Of the United States

Catholic education is not private educa-

development of the character.
Archbishop Quigley~ said in part:
Our system must be Catholic not at all
compromise with any other SYSTEM eX-
clusively and thoroughly Catholic Cath
Ollie education Is necessary for the preser-
vation OF the church and for the preser-
walton of the nation itself. We must strike
to keep II aloof from interference OF out
side systems. IT is the only Christian
education in the world and II is the Catholic
system of education that is going to save
the world We must sGye 1t from con-
tagion; we must not allow interference
by legislation.

open again the breach between the packers
and the representatives of the cattle raisers

The terms Of the ultimatum, the text Of
which was kept secret by orders of Joseph
Adams, who presided at the meeting, are

NELL GOES WEST SILENT
Commissioner of Labor Says His Lips
Are Sealed.
KONENKAMP TALKS OF STRIKE
Hopeful of Reaching Settlement After
Conference with the Telegraph
superintendents at san
Francisco.

Labor Commissioner Neill, enroute from
Washington to San Francisco to lend his
influence in the settlement of the tele-
grapher's strike at San Francisco, which
has been going on for some time, arrived
on the Milwaukee Tuesday afternoon and
left Immediately afterwards on the Union
Pacific. On the train was the executive
committee of the telegrapher's union, con-
sisting Of S. J. Konenkamp of New York,
deputy president of the order of telegraph
ers; Mr.. J. Reidy of Boston and ]. NJ.
Sullivan of New York.
Vice President Konenkamp, who acted as
spokesman of the committee, said, I'VE are
going to San Francisco with the labor
commissioner to meet President Small of
the telegraphers' union. 1t is our under
standing that the district superntendents
OF both the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies are authorized to
meet Commissioner Neill and the eXecu-
tive committee of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union. What the result will be
of course we are unable to state. We hope
to be able TO make a settlement of the
San Francisco strike, satisfactory to all
parties concerned. Commissioner Neills
dealings with the union thus far have been
entirely satisfactory to the members of
the executive committee, and he has taken
neutral position throughout the contro-
versy, but we have no reason to complain"
When asked If he thought the strike
would spread in case q settlement was not
reached at San Francisco, he said: That
is matter l am not prepared to discuss
at this time There is general unrest
among the telegraphers of all cities we
have visited, particularly so in Chicago,
where the union is better organized than
in any other large city in the country.
AT a meeting held last Sunday we had a
hard time stopping them from voting to
strike at that time"
The committee was met at the station
by representatives of the local union.
Commissioner Neir said his lips were
sealed on the present situation, as he did
not consider it good policy to discuss the
real conditions, which he said he thought
could be fixed up as soon as an arbitra-
ton was had. He said that most diff
cultes would not go far as they ordin-
arily do IL the contestants would stop a
moment and consider the rights of others
or would meet and calmly talk over their
| troubles.

Miss HRley's Whereabouts Secret.
The mystery as to the probable position
of Miss Margaret Haley of Chicago toward
the proposed new constitution and bylaws
of the association, as well as her attitude
upon the subject of national officers, con-
tinued today to be the main topic of con-
versation among delegates and visitors of
the convention. Neither Miss Haley nor
any of her followers in the Chicago fcder-
alton of teachers have been seen at the
convention or anywhere in the city. At
the Illinois quarters In the Hotel Alexan-
dria none of them is registered. Nothing
has been heard directly or indirectly from
Miss Haley since the press dispatches from
Chicago announced that she had left that
city for Los Angeles at the head of a large
delegation Of her followers prepared for a
vigorous fight before the convention
against the so-called inner circle" of the
association and in favor of the labor union
among teachers"
1t is believed and almost feared among
the delegation that Miss Haley is keeping
her presence in the city a secret and at
the last moment she will appear in the
convention with a sufficient following tc
cause trouble. There probably will not be
more than 400 voters of active members in
the convention when the business meet
ing convenes tomorrow, when several mat
ters of Importance are 60 come before it.
large portion of the 1000 attendants al
the convention is also associate members
having no part in the business at the
meeting. A rush of registration just be-
fore the hour of meeting might be made
and sufficient votes mustered to defeat the
various projects which the present leaders
of the association have in hand. 1t wal
bruited among leaders today that Mis-,
Haley would attempt a new move and
would sue for court injunction to RESTRAIN
the convention from adopting the new con.
stitution..
