Denied Unlawful Payment
From Railroads by Com

HAS HELD CONTROL
ON FREIGHT RATES
Proceedings Pending Involve
Amounts Larger Than Sums Al
ready Forfeited in Fines.
BY ALLEN D. ALBERT, Jr.

By decree of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, to be-
come finally effective at mid
night tomorrow, the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company
will be denied a long standing
and unlawful payment from
American railroads averaging
$685. 900 a year. The commits
sion defines the offense in
these words:
"Prior to 1898 the allow
ance was a rebate to equalize
certain Philadelphia rebates.
In 1908 it was compensation
for the maintenance Of an un-
lawful pool. Today it is the
same allowance, but it is in
sisted that it has a new reason
for being, viz, transfer
The transfer allowance here
considered is, by every test
afforded by the law, a re-
bate ; > 1t is unlawful IN
and of itself.
Payment of Fines
Is Practical Confession.
Complementary to this decision are
these facts.
l. A confession by the American
Sugar Refining Company, by the pay
ment of s26O,OOO fines for rebating
without even the for'nslity of trial,
that it has been for years a consistent
violator of the interstate commerce act.
2. A revelation that this corporation
has held and exercised for its own
profit a control on 80 per cent of all
the westbound freight traffic of New
York and Philadelphia
3. The exercise Of this control to re-
strict the growth Of Philadelphia as
seaport.
4. Further proceedings by the Inter
state Commerce Commission involving
this same corporation in actions of at
least equal Importance not now to be
made public.
May Prosecute
Shipping Companies,
No mandate has gone to the rail
roads to cease this payment. The com
mission has stopped with declaring the
practice unlawful. Its purpose in so

prosecute officers of roads and ship
ping companies alike if that should be

commission contemplates criminal pro-
