NEW RATE FOR RAILROADS.

1.-The Interstate Commerce Commission
established a new rate Of 50 cents on all
through traffic on shipments from the At
lantic seaboard TO Missouri River points
This is a compromise between the original
GO-cent rate and the temporary rate OF 81
cents fixed by the commission in 1909. In
making this decision the commission takes
the view that the railroads are of necessity
paving their employees more than formerly
and undergo greater expenses I'm operation
and so are entitled 10 the better rate in
comparison of conditions two years ago.
"The trial of an action against 12S rail-
roads seeking the recovery Of excessive

largest growers Of melons in the states OF
North and South Carolina. Georgia, Florida
and Alabama, the commission merchants
handling melons in the Eastern district
and the National League of Commission
Merchants.
In an important decision the Inter-
state Commerce Commission ordered
confirmation of its previous order heavily
reducing class rates from Seattle and Ia
coma. in Washington, and Portland, ore,
to points in Washington, oregon, Idaho
and Montana. \ striking feature of the
decision is the fixing Of the class rates
on a fiat mileage basis for the routes in
dicated. This is a radical departure.
"The American Chicle Company was in
dicted on ten counts by the federal grand
jury in New Orleans on the charge of vio-
