BLOW TO FRACTIONS
Found in Ruling of Inter
state Commerce Com
mission.
(Americam News SerVicc)

Washington April 3.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today
handed down a decision that the local
law under which an electrically oper-
ated interurban line has no right to
demand a switch connection and inter
change of traffic with a steam railroad
controlling only in so far as it relates
to local traffic; it cannot be permit
ted to operate as an impeachment to
the movement of interstate traffic aft
er congress has legslated upon the
subject by requiring such connection
and interchange under certain condi-
tons which in this preceding are
shown to exist
The case thus decided is that of the
Cincinnati & Columbus Traction Com
pany VS.. The Baltimore & Ohio South
western Railway Company The com
mission decided that the commission
ordinarily will not lend its aid to an
effort by one carrier to secure traffic
that is reasonably tributary to anoth-
or line by compelling the latter to join
with it in through routes and rates:
but the theory as to what traffic is
tributary to a particular railroad
must not be carried to such an eX-
IRENE as to impose upon shippers the
burden of an unduly long haul.
Through routes and through billings
denied to points on the complainant
line where it parallels and closely APP
prOaches the tracks of one or more of
the defendants but required on the spe-
cial facts in the case, in the interest
of shippers at other points from five
to ten miles distant by the wagon
roads

Ice Dealers Ask Com
SUM ers' Cooperation
Re,tig & Johnson Made Sug-
qeStiCnS TO Better lie Service

The general public is no more in |
terested in good ice delivery serv-
ice than are the ice dealers who |
are responsible for the work. This |
is especially true in a town where |
one company makes all the deliver |
les, for the attitude of the public |
toward the one company is more
critical than if there were compcti- |
ton. However, experience has
shown that under one management
the delivery service has on the
whole been more dependable and
satisfactory. For the wagon routes
are shorter, the time Of delivery
more uniform, and the risk Of Misc |
ing customers less than where
three or four sets of wagons are
serving scattered consumers over
longer routes.
The one weakness of the present
ice delivery system is the selling of
ice for cash by the wagon men. It
is this fact Of handling a certain
amount Of money each day. that Of |
fers constant temptation to the
drivers. We have frequently seen
young men who had always been
honest and trustworthy become dis
honest and demoraiized by this
temptation, and that Of accepting
free drinks from saloons, which al
ways expected favors in return.
The price Of cash ice was made
fifty cents per hundred last year, in
order to do away with the cash bus
mess. But there are still a few
families who have preferred to pay
cash at the higher rate, possibly on
the theory that they got better
weight or better service. We do not
believe. however, that they get suf-
ficient advantage, if they get any,
to offset the increased price paid, to
say nothing Of the annoyances Of
making change, not having change,
disputes about temporary charges
in such cases, etc. to which the
cash customer is subjected.
Thus it is, that while the cash
customer reaps no advantage from
that plan. the cash he pays becomes
an element Of generalization in the
ice trade generally. For the pos
session of the cash sometimes
terpts the wagon man to either
give somebody short weight, or to
take out extra unearncd coupons,
60 ne may absorb part of the cash
and still be able to CHECK up for
his days work.
For the acconam odation of small
consumers or those who prefer to
pay oftener we have prepared
small coupon books-3CO pounds at
$3.50. and SEQ pounds at s2.co which
can be bought at cur office, t3 S.
eth ST., or will be delivered by our
collector to any part of the city on
notice. The prices for ice for the
coming season are the same as in
the past. For family trade, to
those taking 100 pounds or more
at each delivery, IS cents per hun
bred: to those taking less than that
amount at any delivery, 20 cents
per hundred. The prices to other
classes Of consumers range from IS
cents to 80 cents per hundred. de-
pending on the kind and quantity
Of ice used.
What We particularly urge, in the
best interest Of all concerned, is
that all our consumers cooperate
with US BY using the coupon books
the coming season, and giving this
plan a fair trial. We believe il will |
result in the most satisfactory serv-
ice that this city has ever had.
