sumably reasonable and that there
would be no hardship on the carrier

opportunity had been afforded TO IN

The commissions authority to es-
tabIish joint rate and through route
lis limited to cases where no such
Ercute exists, and the commission rec
ommends that this limitation be strick-
en- out Of the law, so that 1t may es-
tablish through route wherever upon
investigation, 1t is found that the pub
1 lie necessity and convenience require
such action. A further recommends
tion is to the effect that In certain In
stances the shipper be permitted to

traffic. It is further requested that
the law be so amended as to give the
commission undoubted authority to

of an investigation instituted by the

Importance Of some form of federal

Stockers and feeders broke 15 to 25

buyers came in at the end of the week
and cleaned up everything close, be-

was only temporary, and that better
prices might be expected with the
advent of lighter supplies at the mar
kets.
Hog prices held up pretty good last
week In view of the big run of nearly
10000 head, heaviest run since Jan
uary, with the exception of one week
in May, and the market closed at the
hight point of the year, $3.50 for tops.

in the cash demand for products, and
all the signs apparently point to a
downward turn in the market The
supply here today is 5000 head, mar

$40. Run of hogs in Chicago last
week was heaviest there since first
week in February this year.
Sheep and lambs averaged about

today, with choice lambs worth about

$5.25, goats $3.50 to $4.25, feeding
lambs $3.50 to $6.75. Run is 5000 here
today and the supply last week was

ings. The average number Of miles
operated in 1908 was 228,164 and in
1909 2ss,022. The large increase in
net as compared with gross earringS
IL accounted for by reduction Of op-
Grating expenses in 1903 below thee
os 1908 of 59.244,sS3.
The report indicates that larger
number OF formal complaints was filed
with the commission in 1903 than in
1908. During the last year l,O97 for
NAL proceedings were instituted and
during the same period 1888 formal
cases we're disposed Of. Approximate
" 5000 informal complaints, of which
about half involved informal repara-
ton claims, were adjusted during the
year Six hundred and one hearings
and investigations-an average OF two
for each working day-all involving
alleged violations of the interstate
commerce act, were held at sessions
Of the commission in Washington and
in various cities Of the country, at
which 81 900 pages of testimony were
taken.
Since December list, 1908, thirty-five
indictments for criminal violations of
the Interstate commerce law have
been returned and forty two prosecu-
tions have been concluded. Practi-
caIly all Of the prosecutions were for
some form of rebate or concession.
The fines collected under these indict-
ments aggregated SO4,2SS.S4. The
opinion is expressed that violations OF
the law, such as rebating in one form
or in another, is decreasing.
Some account is given OF the pro-
ceedings had during the year in the
enforcement of the safety appliance
law. and the commission states that
the results in this respect are gratify-
ing. In 1908 the number Of men EN-
ployed in coupling and uncoupling
cars for each one killed was 349, while
in 1908 the number employed for each
one killed was 1888. The number OF
men employed in coupling and uncoupl-
ing cars for each one injured in 1893
was 1S, while in 1908 it was 81. Stated
in another way, the number of men
killed in coupling and uncoupling cars
for each 1000 employed was 3 in 1893
and / in 1908 while the number of in
juries for each 1000 men employed in
this service was n in 1893 and 16 in
1908.
In that part of the report devoted
to statistics and accounts detailed fig
ures respecting railroad operations
for 1908 and 1909 are given, and the
work of the commission in the formu-
lation of uniform system Of account
ing is described, and satisfaction is
expressed with the results obtained.
