Millinery Jobbers
Win Part of Fight
Commission Rules that Regulations
Of Express Companies for Pack
ing Hats Are Reasonable.

WASHINGTON April 7.-Some OF the
regulations Of express companies relating
to the transportation OF millinery were held
by the Interstate Commerce commission In
E decision handed down today to be un-
reasonable and what were deemed by the
commission to be proper regulations we're
prescribed. The opinion was rendered in
the case Of the Millinery Jobbers' associa-
tOn against the American Express com
pany and others
In the complaint the association averred
that regulations of the express companies
concerning packing OF millinery goods for
shipment we're unreasona BILE and discrim-
inatory and that they resulted in excessive
regulations for shipment.
The express company maintained that
the flimsy character Of the packing OF hats
and bonnets resulted frequently in damage
and they were forced, therefore, to provide
rules for proper packing largely because OF
the immense size Of wOmens hats. These
packing rules were upheld. Other features
were ruled against.

Barrow with five years ruling ahea /

respect of the officers and managers
of each club. This is the first time IN
the history of the league that a pres

than one year.
Hereafter the Eastern League will be
known as 1.-The International League.
This was decided upon by all OF the del

with approval.
