STEAMSHIP LINES
TO BE INVESTIGATED

Washington. Sept. I'm official cir.
cles here more than ordinary inter.
est is excited over the Investigation
in New York into the alleged Illegal
operations of some OF the trans-At-
lantic steamship lines. especially the
Holland-American line The charges
that these lines have entered into
conspiracies with certain American
railway lines in restraint OF trade.
that rebates have been paid them b.
some railroads and that they have
laid themselves liable TO prosecution
under the terms OF the Sherman anti
trust act did not surprise those who
had followed the proceedings in what
was known as the Cosmopolitan ship
ping case before the Interstate Com
merce commission.
The proceeding was brought by the
Cosmopolitan Shipping company Of
Philadelphia against the Hamburg
American Packet company and other
transatlantic steamship lines. 1t is
alleged that the ocean lines named
had entered into an arrangement with
American railroads by which the bulk
of European freight sent to this
country was handled by the steam
ship companies in the pool to the det.
riment OF the Cosmopolitan company,
which also operates line OF trans
Atlantic steamers
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion investigated the complaint. but
dismissed the case on the ground that
1t has no authority to act The eyi.
dence was turned over to the depart
ment of justice.
Not only are the regular trans-At-
laptic lines involved. but the South
American steamship companies have
been brought into the government in
yestigation. The charges affect par
ticularly the coffee trade. which is one
of the predominatinS factors in the
freight traffic between the United
States and Brazil and other countries
on the South American continent
The investigation of the South
American steamship lines is not as
we'll developed. but the allegations are
of a startling character and if sus-
tanned by the investigation, promise
very important Developments.
