SESSIONS ARE CONTINUED
Tariff Commissioners From United
States and Canada All Stand Pat

Ottawa Ont, March 7.--Tariff ne
gotiations between Canada and tn.
United States have not yet terminated,
but apparently there has been no re-
suit from the conferences which
have been going on since Thursday
1t is evident that the American
representatives and those of Canada
are still standing stoutly to the posi-
ton first taken. The Americans point
to the fact that France, under treaty
with Canada gets special rate on 81
articles and thirteen counties un-
der favored nation agreements get the
same advantage in the Canadian
markets. The Canadian representa-
tives hold that there is no material
discrimination against the United
States by Canada which would war
rant the imposition of the 25 per cent
maximum provision. 1t is believed
that this point has been referred to
Washington and that Messrs. Emery
| and Pepper are awaiting instructions
The result of further conferences
will depend great deal on what
Washington says.
The Canadian government in the
meantime, is feeling the pulse of the
| country in a tentative way. Mem
bers of Parliament are being cate
chised by Sir Wilfred Laurier and
Mr.. Fielding on the manner in which
their constituents will regard the i'm
| position of the American maximum
against them and also how they will
regard concessions being granted by
Canada. The opinion OF most of the
members is that the people they re-
present would not censure the gov
eminent for mourning the imposition
of the American maximum provided
Canada retaliated with stiff surtaX.
The Canadian Jumper interests
have also been sounded and a differ
ence of opinion has been found there.
A number of important Canadian
| producers are protesting against the
government doing anything which
will make their access to the United
States difficult. On the other hand,
many of the lumbermen say that they
would not object to the United States
putting on the maximum, believing
that the demand for Canadian lumber
is so strong that their shipments
would not be seriously affected, but
that the American consumer would
bear the burden in the end
The conference will cOntinue to-
morrow.

Has Bogus swanfon Bonds.

There appear to be three bogus
Swanton town bonds of $1,000 each OF
an issue refunded years ago floating
around among some New York brok-
ers. Clerk Loiselle received a notice
from an auctioneer concern in New
York that the bonds, part of the eff
fects of suspended brokerage firm
were to be sold at auction March 1,
and asked if the town cared to bid
them in. The town officials found no
bonds of this issue outstanding. Then
came a reply with description of the
bonds which were found to be signed
by selectmen and countersigned by
a treasurer never holding office or
known to Swanton town affairs.

RULING DOES NOT STAND
Supreme Court Overrules Order Of
Interstate Commerce Commission

Washington, d. c., March THE
Supreme Court of the United States
today annulled two important orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, because the commission had
exceeded it's authority.
One of the orders required the
Northern Pacific Railway Company to
join with competing railroads in es-
tablishing through route and joint
rates from the east to Puget Sound
points, via Portland Oregon. The other
order required the Lackawanna Rail-
road to grant a physical connection
with the Railway Valley Railroad at
Summit, N. j.
In the Northern Pacific Railway
case the court held that this railroad
already maintained a satisfactory
or reasonable route" from the east
to Puget Sound points, and as long
as such a route was in existence the
commission could not require the
road to join in another.
In the other decision it was held
that the commission did not have
power to require a railroad subject
to the Interstate Commerce Commls-
sions order, to grant connection
with a branch railroad upon COM
plant of the branch railroad itself
The court did not pass on the ques-
ton of the commissions power to re-
quire such a connection upon com.
plant of shipper along the branch
road
