Jackson, April 14.-The Mississippi
rtilroad commission has addressed
letter to the Interstate Commerce
Commission asking for a ruling on the
question of party rates at two cents
per mile, to be granted by the rail-
roads to two or more persons.
Several of the passenger traffic
managers have advised the commits
sion that they are willing to establish
party rates at two cents per mile, but
that the rules of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are In conflict
with a rate of this character.
The Mississippi commission is un
able to see how such rate would be
conflicting, and therefore desires the
Interstate body to give information on
the subject. Several of the principa
roads in the state, including the Hi
nois Central and Y. & M. ", have
expressed a willingness to promul
gate the rate, applicable to parties
of ten or more persons.

NEW PARTY RATELAW

and south of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers, will, on May 1, increase their
rates two cents per hundred pounds
on lumber shipments, has caused no
little uneasiness among the sawmill
men and wholesale lumber dealers of
the South, says The Southern Lum-
bermen. The shippers have construed
the published intentions of the
railroads as q determination to again
put in effect the old rate, which for
the past four years has thrown the
shippers and the railroads into end
less litigation. and which is now in
the courts.
Inquiry has developed the fact that
as far as the railroads forming the
Southeastern Freight Association are
concerned the report of the proposed
increase in rates is unfounded. Al
