Washington, Jan. 13.-It has been de-

Many tariffs on file prior to May 1, 1907,

In tariff issued since May 1, 1907.
In special tariff circular No. 6, just
issued, the following statement of the
attitude of the body is made:
T1e commission desires and requires
that at the earliest practicable date all
such features and practices as are
above referred to shall be eliminated

rectness in providing and applying
lawful tariff charges, and to avoid
hardship to shippers or passengers at
intermediate stations which would 9TH
efwise be left without rates or fares
which they have heretofore enjoyed and
with the understanding that this work
VIII be earnestly pursued with the pur-
pose of completing it by the date named,
the commission decides that until July
1, 1903, carriers may continue to use and
present application of tariffs which
were issued prior to January Is, 1908,
and which certain rules of the charac-
ter herein before referred to or under
which without specific provision in the
tariff therefore the rates or fares have
been applied at intermediate stations,
and excepting those tariffs which be-
fore July 1 are corrected by supple
ments or replaced by new issues. Tar

1903, must not contain any such rules
as are herein considered nor be ap-
piled in any manner not affirmatiVeIy

mission numbers all of the tariffs of

which are so applied. This list shall
contain both local and joint tariffs

sues will be furnished on the same
