RAILROADS PLAN TO HELP
Expected to Facilitate Investiga,-
ton of Rate Increases.

Attorneys and traffic managers of all the
railroads east of the Mississippi met yes
terday at the offices Of the Trunk Line AS
sociation. at No. 149 Liberty street. to dis
cuss a course of action and plan of pro-
cedure in connection with the Interstate
Commerce Commissions hearings on
freight rate increases. which begin here
on Monday.
No statement was given out after the
meeting but ii is understood that the gen
eral opinion among those present was that
the railroads should follow out their att-
tude in offering to the commission every
facility for carrying on the investigation
and avoid as much as possible submitting
long briefs and numerous exhibits 1t was
the intention Of the railroads, 1t was SAID.
10 confine themselves to oral testimony as
much as possible. and thus avoid imposing
upon the commission undue amount
of statistics and arguments to be reviewed.
A great deal would depend upon the at
titude Of the shippers, il was said. in de
terrnining the method which the. railroads
would adopt in defence of the increases.
If the shippers protest against all in
crea ses the hearings. according to the
railroad men. may be long drawn out:
while on the other hand, if only certain
Of the schedules are attacked the matter
will be considera by simplif1ed.

In the Ennis e. Stoppani bankruptcy lti-

The claimants were divided into two
classes. class a consisting of those whose
stocks were deposited for sale with Ennis
e. Stoppani and by them deposited in the
bank. and class B. those whose stocks and
bonds had been deposited collateral for
their margins. OF the latter. Mr.. Dexter,
in his report said that the bankrupt had
the legal right to repledge them under
certain conditions and that the equity of
the claimants was not as great in them as
in the case of class A. He further re-
ported that the class 3 claimants would
rot only he obliged to lose part of their
claims. but would also have TO contribute
TO the payment of the costs and expenses
Of the proceeding.
There were objections in teh report TO
the paying Of the charges altogether out

BAKERS MUST OBEY LAW
DriscolI Tells Them They Can
Sell Bread Only by Weight.
OCTOBER | IS DATE FIXED
Thereafter Every Loaf Must Be
stamped-Quality May
Be improved.

Chief Driscoll of the Bureau of Weights
and Measures had q conference yesterday
with representatives of the largest baking
concerns in the city, and told them he
would give them until October to prepare
to bake bread according to weight. After
that date each loaf they sell must be plain
" stamped with its weight.
There are ne restrictions on the style
of loaf baker may put out, or the weight
that he shall make it. but the customer
must be able to tell Just how much bread
he is getting in a certain loaf It is not
required that retailers sell bread by weight.
but according to the ordinance the Gus
toner is entitled to have his loaf weighed
whenever he may request it, in order that
he may be satisfied that the weight comes
UP TO that stamped the label
Mr- DriscoIl believes it will take some
time for the bakers TO prepare for the
change and to install scales and have
stamps printed; therefore he is not inclined
to push them too hard. Any baker who
violates the law after October /. however,
Is likely to get into serious trouble
He believes that forcing bakers to stamp
the weight on their loaves will cause them
TO use better grade of -four than is now
used. Poor flour will make q. large loaf
for q small weight. but when the scales
are used in testing different styles of
bread it will soon be discovered that the
large loaf is only a snare and delusion If
made of poor -four.
Some of the bakers yesterday were in
clined to argue against the law, but Nj
Driscoll told them it was He
was there to enforce the law and he in
tended to do SO, regardless of what they
might say. It was mere waste of time
to go into the merits of the case.
IF you want my private opinion, I will
give you my private opinion" he said.
II believe that there ought to be a. COM
mission in New York State known as the
Bread or Flour Commission. with power to
regulate the sizes. quality and prices of
loaves of bread sold in this state.
This commission could do much better
work by grading size and price to the cost
of flour than by merely fixing standard
weights. such as they have in some local
tiles Where there are fixed standard
weights it is possible for a. cent to be
added to the price of each loaf where the
actual increase in cost. to the baker. has
been tenth of a cent
Twenty inspectors were sent out by Mr..
Driscoll TO test the ice scales throughout
the city yesterday. Some time ago the ice
men were warned TO get scales and 10 look
