COMMERCE COMMISSION
TAKES FLING At RIVAL
Smouldering Antipathy For

In Annual Report.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 20. - The
smouldering jealousy between the in
terstate commerce commission and
the newly-established commerce court
fiared out today in the annual report
OF the commission TO congress. Con
gress was told in plain language just
what the commission thinks OF the
commerce court.
"Out OF % cases passed on by the
commerce court" says the commits
sion in its report, Preliminary re-
straining orders or final degrees have
been issued in favor OF the railroads
in all but seven cases, and OF these
seven only three are OF any magnf
tude'
The differences between the COM
mission and the commerce court are
due principally TO the trans-continent-
al rate cases. The commission declares
IL is economically wrong 10 maintain
a system OF tariffs which are express
~ intended TO develop that racine
coast cities and TO retard the develop
ment OF the interior points.
The report maintains that RAILROADS.

and freight rates 10 those points 10

shippers at Omaha ought TO have the

equipment of the North Mountain
plant for the company.
The Raymond Co. are extensive
manufacturers of brick machinery and
own the Youngren patents. They are
also interested in number of brick
plants in various places.
The local company has employed A.

Another matter was brought up at

in the North Mountain projects doubt
as 10 whether the clay would fill the
bill for the purposes intended. That
was set at rest, however, when it was
reported that Mr.. G. p. Grimsley, this

severest five tests and found il to be ali
that was claimed for it; and further
more that similar test was made by
Prof. Heinrich Riess, of Cornell Uni
versity, with a similar result. The
clay, then, is proven to be all right.
