FREIGHT RATE DECISION.

Filling his findings on the Minnesota COM
modify freight and two-cent passenger rate
case in the United States Circuit Court the
special master in chancery, Charles +. Otis.
held those rates to be unconstitutional and
confscatory. This finding. unless OverTuled
by the higher courts, wipes out the rate
making power Of the State OF Minnesota
through the Warehouse end Railroad Com
mission, and has a somewhat general effect
in establishing federal rate supervision as
against state rate supervision.
1.-The financial returns OF the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad during the last ten
years were brought out in the rate hearing
before the interstate Commerce Commits
sion In Chicago by attorneys for the ship
pers, who are fighting an increase Of freight
rates. ". A. Gardner, vice-president in
charge Of operation and maintenance of the
Northwestern road. testified that the COM
panv thought itself entitled 20 increase
freight charges now. in spite Of the fact
that in ten years Il had returned to its
stockholders in direct dividends and IN un-
appropriated surplus more than The amount
OF capital STOCK. The witness was of opin-
ion that the increase in cost OF labor,
well as restrictions put upon worllmen by
unions, was the largest factor in cutting
down net profits.
That railroads must adjust their eco
nonIic difficulties by some other means than
by asking shippers 10 contribute the funds
therefor. was the opinion Of Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Franklin *. Lane,
expressed during the hearing.
''The New York Central plans a six track
road across the state. OF which several
portions have already been built. II has
expended since 1907 or has arranged 10
