Washington, July 30-The report that

Hartman, the Berwynd syndicate and
the Canadian government have deter
mined to surrender their export trade
to China, Japan, New Zealand, and
Australia, on November J. has created
q great deal of interest at the offices of
the interstate commerce commission In
this city. II this action Is taken, It Will
merely fulfil the prediction made by
railroad officers who have resisted the
enforcement OF the rule OF the commits
sion by which they are obliged to pub
llsh the portion OF their export rate
which goes to the railroads for hauling
shipments to seaports and to give no.
tice of any increase or decrease In
these rates.
The railroads have maintained ever
since this rule became effective that
they could not comply with II and con-
duct their export trade.
Constantly changing ocean rates and
the demands OF trade, the carriers have
represented, make It necessary that
they should be free to quote rate OF
export business without a moments
delay They have frequently declared
that the commissions rule would pu
the most of the export trade, causing
an immense loss to the foreign trade
OF the nation.
