PLAN JOINT COMMISSION.
Canada and United states VIII lie
Urged to watch Rates.

WaShingtOn Dec. 9S.-AS a result OF
conferences between Judge Martin \.
Knapp. chairman of the interstate COM
MERGE commission. and J. L. Mabe chief
of the railway commission of Canada.
an agreement has been reached to rec
ommend to the governments of the Uni
ted states and Of canada The creation
of an international railroad commission,
| which shall have supervisory authority
over the railway rates between the two
countries.
Mr.. Mabie arrived in Washington from
Ottawa last night to discuss the details
of an agreement he had reached with
Judge Knapp last August and to-day
| the two officials, who were designated
by their respective governments to con-
| slider the subject and make report up
on it. were in conference. Their report
has not been completed but viii be in
2 day or two.
No details of the report are Vet avail
able beyond the fact thHt 1t recon-
mends the establishment Of the inter
national commission upon which shall
be conferred certain defined regulatory
powers. Whether the commission is to
be created by treaty between the two
governments or by joint Legislation can
not be announced at this time.
For considerable period it has been
realized that the increasing traffic, both
passenger and freight, between the Uni
ted States and Canada was likely to rem
der control over rates in the future diff
cult, unless some International action
were taken. The acquisition by Amer
| lean railroads of Canadian terminals and
| by Canadian railroads of American ter
| minals and lines present Increasing diff
cultes. In the existing circumstances, i,
| Is not possible to compel either railways
| or express companies to establish joint
| through routes and rates to and from
points In the two countries In other
| words neither an American nor Cana
| dian carrier may be required to furnish
| 10 shipper a through bill Of ladlnE from
| any point in one country to any point II
| another.
Tire reasonableness of the internationa
rates. which ordinarily arc a combina
ton Of rates local to each country, car
be determined only by a circutous pro
ceed!ng Instituted before the commission:
Of both countries. No power at preeen
| exists that can require carriers engage
IN international transportation to estab
| reasonable through international rates
| and to apportion those rates among thu
| participating carriers, In the event they
cannot reach an agreement among them
| selves.
