HAS NO JURISDICTION.
Commerce Commission Cannot Con-
troll Ocean Carriers.


Washington, March 24.-Referring
to the Cosmopolitan shipping case,
just decided by the interstate COM
merce commission, Commissioner
Lane, who wrote the opinion, said that
the commission would issue in few
days administrative rulings covering
the handling of foreign commerce in
accordance with the decision of the
commission. AS indicating the nature
of the administrative rulings Commis-
sioner Lane said:
The commission holds that 1t has
complete jurisdiction of all foreign
commerce moving inland to or from
the seaboard and that 1t can regulate
the rates and control the practices of
rail lines or of combined rail and
water lines from interior points of the
United States to the ports, but that
its jurisdiction does not extend over
ocean carlaers transporting foreign
commerce from port of the United
States to port in Europe or Asia, or
in any other non-adjacent country.
The rates which the rail carriers must
publish, as required by the act to reg
ulate commerce, are the rates to the
ports.
"There has been no expression of
the commission as to the legality of
the Baltic pool" continued Mr.. Lane.
Pooling by ocean carriers has not
been prohibited by the act to regulate
commerce. Whether or not 1t is pro-
hibited by any other law the commits
sion has not passed upon"
