they were able to give each child
goodly share of Christmas toys, nuts.

over from the fund and the Two

From some of those who secured
names from the committee so that
they might play Santa Claus to chill

ever assumed. one young couple
who provided for three children had
so much fun out of il that they de

spend a large sum, but they man

international railroad commission,
which shall have supervisory authority
over the railway rates in operation be-
tween the countries.
CAME FOR CONFERENCE.
Mr. .Mabie arrived in Washington
from Ottawa Tuesday night, in accord
ance with previous arrangement with
Chairman Knapp. He came to Wash
ington finally 20 discuss the details of
an agreement he had reached with Mr..
Knapp last August, and yesterday the
two officials, who were designated by
their respective governments to con-
slider the subject and make a report
upon it, were in conference.
Their report has not been completed,
but will be in a day or two. II will be
filed by Chairman Knapp with the
state department and by Mr.. Mabie
with the foreign office of Canada.
DETAILS NOT ALL COMPLETED.
No details of the report yet are avail
able beyond the fact that il recon-
mends the establishment of the inter
national commission, upon which shall
be conferred certain defined regula-
tory powers. Whether the commission
is to be created by treaty between the
two governments or by joint legisla-
ton cannot be announced at this time
For considerable period it has been
realized that the increasing traffic. both
passenger and freight. between the
United States and Canada was likely
to render future ontrOl over rates diff
ficult unless some international action
were taken. The acquisition by Amer
lean railroads of Canadian terminals
and by Canadian railroads OF American
terminals and. lines increased the diff
ficulty.
CAN DO NOTHING NOW.
In the existing circumstances it is
not possible TO compel either railways
or express companies to establish joint
through routes and rates 10 and from
points in the two countries. In other
words. neither an American nor Can
