TO THE FREIGHT men
WHAT CLARK HAD TO SAY TO
TRAFFIC MANAGERS.
THE LAW WILL Be ENFORCED
interpretations and Their Rules Should
BE Overlooked and Supervised
by Federal Tribunals.

st. Louis, Ill.-"I doubt if the whole
history of lawmaking in this country
discloses such a record of ignoring,
evading and defying law as has
marked the course of the interstate
commerce law. Its purpose has been
defeated through technicalities, but it
must not be assumed that the effort
toward government regulation of in
terstate commerce has been. is, or will
be a failure or that it will be aban-
doned in despair. There will be no
vindictiveness, no playing to the gal
leries and no Partially in administer.
ing the law as laid down by congress.
but there will be a firm purpose and
an earnest effort to enforce the full in
tent"
This statement was made by E. F.
Clark, interstate commerce commits
sioner, in an address this afternoon be-
fore the annual convention of the
American Association of Freight Traf.
fic officials.
Mr.. Clark said the roads should be
permitted to maintain traffic associa'
lions, providing their articles of incOr-
poration and their rules are subject to
approval by a federal tribunal and are
made public.
He opposed the proposition that a
complaint against an increased rate
should automatically suspend such
rate, but urged that the Interstate
Commerce commission be given
authority to suspend a proposed in
crease in rates until its reasonable
ness could be determined.
The following officers were reflect
ed by the association:
President, Robert C. Wright, Phila-
delphia; first vice -president, T. W.
Gallagher, Baltimore; second vice
president, w. D. Groseclose, st. Louis;
