WITHDRAWALOF ORIENT RATE
Action Of Railroads. They Say, Will
Not Hurt Business.
PUBLIC INTEREST Is AROUSED
Course Has Been Decided On ms re.
suit of the Recent Ruling Made
by the Interatntc Com
nerce commission

The decision Of the railroads to withdraw
the through freight tariffs TO the orient.
has set the public to wondering what the
result will be. Tho high officials Of the
roads refuse to throw any light upon the
situation, although they say, 1t is hoped
the new plan will work out all right, com.
merclally. and that the trade with tho
orient will not be permitted to suffer"
Officials in Omaha take their tip for silence
from Hin and K~ruttschmitt, who refuse 10
talk.
The recert decision Of the Interstate
Commerce commission requires that the
railroads shall publish the share Of the
rate received by the railroads on this orien.
tai business. To do this, the railroads,
they affirm. could not well compete with
the all water routes Though the Panama
canal. Ocean lines are not subject to the
rulings Of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and do not have TO publish tariffs.
The rule ir question says:
Ocean carriers between ports Of the
Jacent are not subject to the terms Of the
act to regulate commerce. nor to the juris-
diction Of the commission.
The inland carriers OF traffic exported to
OF imported from a foreign country not
adjacent. must publish their rates and fares
to the ports and from the ports, and such
Nv - AoAFo "AN " AAt GoANNN ANA aAA
regardless Of what ocean carrier may be
designated by the shipper or passenger.
AS a matter of convenience to the public
they may publish In their tariffs such
through export or import rates or fares to
or from foreign points as they may make
in connection with ocean carriers. Such
tariffs must, however, distinctly state the
inland rate or fare as above provided; and
need not be concurred in by the ocean
carrier, because, concurrence can be re-
quired from, and is effective against, only
carriers subject to the act.
Which ever plan of publishing these rates
and fares is followed the tariffs must be
filed and posted, and may be changed only
mission for shorter time,
Export and import traffic may be for
warded under through billing, but SUCH
through billing must clearly separate The
liability OF the inland carrier Of carriers
and OF the ocean carrier, and must show
the tariff rate Of the inland carrier or car
riers.
The traffic between the Orient and this
country has been subject to varying condi-
| lions and hitherto 1t has been the custom
to publish a through tariff without Civ
ing the proportions received by the rail-
roads. This proportion has naturally varied
according to the variety of routes followed.
The only way the railroads figure they can
comply with the law and still get the bust
ness is to cut out the publication OF the
through tariffs and rave the rates subject
to the rate to and from the port Of export
and import respectively.
