RAILROAD ADVANCES CUT.

Washington, July l3.-By a formal
vote, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, today determined to suspend

railways in their freight rates. me

the policy decided upon by the COM
mission for the most part are those re-
Gently filed by the Western Trunk
Line Association and by the carriers
in Eastern classification territory.
BY arrangement with the President
and with the commission. the railways
agreed to supplement their original ad-
vance tariffs. which We're to have be-
come effective about July |. with the
tariffs to become effective Aug. /,
: This postponement of the effective
date Of the proposed rates was for the
nurpose of enabling the commission
thoroughly to examine it's authority
under the new railroad law. The I'M
derstandiny, at the time the agreement
was reached was that such advances
were general in character and anect-
ed large interests should be suspend
cd spending an inquiry into the reason
ablcness OF the increases
The vote taken by the commission was
rather ON a line of policy to be pursued
by the body as to suspension than upon
specific tariffs. Now that the policy OF
the commission has been determined II
will be automatically applicable. in a
sense, to such tariffs as fail within Its
'purview.
1t is expected that within day or two
formal announcement will be made by
the commission Of the precise nature OF
its policy, andy~in general way. the tar
IFS that are to be effected by it Until
that announcement is made it is not pos
sible to state definitely what particular
rates will be suspended. Some advances

is reasonably certain that practically all

commission naturally will not exercise its
authority to suspend except in such in
stances as II is manifest the proposed
new tariffs do serious injustice to ship
pers. The authority will be exercised
only when extraordinary conditions, in
the view of the commission, prevail.
