For the better understanding of this

necessary TO look for a moment at the

railroads leading out of New York.

Philadelphia hss naturally and legally
n consistent advantage of > cents per 100
pounds on shipments of bulk freight TO
the West. It is obviously TO the interest
of every road leading out of New York
TO overcome this advantage. Further
more, westbound freight in bulk has
particular value to the New York roads
Seven loaded cars come into their ter
minals for every loaded car that leaves

eastbound freight is in bulk-as ore

Sugar is a bulk freight. Moreover it

! This decision was rendered December

NOW what was the effect of this agree
ment between the American Sugar Re
hning Company and all the railroads
leading out of New York;
Ii was, first, 10 give the refining Com
Dany an allowance" of cents per ITO
pounds FOR carriage"
It was. second. to cut down the pro-
duction Of refined sugar in Philadelphia
from the maximum of 10000 barrels to
that Of Boston, or Whereabouts. that IS
to say 5000 barrels.
Tt was. third. to enable the american
Sugar Refining Company to punish any
carrier that hauled sugar from other
shippers by transferring its shipments
and obtaining its rebate from some
other line.
Scared By Fine
This arrangement has not continued
until the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion arrested it without interruption In
1908, for example, it suffered a sudden
Jolt. Up to that year the penalty clause
of the Interstate Commerce Act of 81
had been empty Now. though the FL
kins legislation had eliminated the i'm
prisonmcnt clause, the offense of giving
drawbacks and allowances" was more
clearly defined and The maximum pun
ishment by fine Increased from $4,000
for each offense to $4,000 Wherefore.
under date of April 9. 1908, Mr.. Palmer
received a communication on the letter
head Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, signed by J. D. ThaycT. jr.. and
/ reading.
