TO SUPERVISE CAR SERVICE
Commission Takes Jurisdiction Over
Another Feature of Traffic.
MUST INTERCHANGE CAE
Decision Comes In Connection with
Complaint OF Coal Company
Against Illinois Central
Railroad.

WASHINGTON. Dee. THE interstate
Commerce commission today declared it's
assumption Of jurisdiction over the prac-
tees OF railroad, or railroads const-
tuting through route affecting the
right Of the shipper to safe and speedy
transportation Of his freight"
The decision was handed down by Conn
missioner Lane In what was known as
the car shortage case, in which the Mis-
souri, Il Illinois Coal company complained
Of the embargo established last winter
by the Illinois Central railroad against
the movement Of coal from mines on its
lines in Illinois to points In Missouri.
The railroads defense was that II II
allowed It's cars to 40 to lines in Nils
scurl, the cars would be confiscRted and
the Illinois Central would not have sut-
ficient equipment to conduct its local
business.
Holding Cars II ILLEGAL.
The commission holds that the tenn
porary confiscatlon by carriers OF the
cars Of other railroads and the placing
Of embargoes against cars being sent off
OF the lines OF the owners are alike uu-
lawful and the railroads are expected to
make such rules for the return Of cars
as will terminate such abuses"
Under this decision all of the car In
terchange rules OF the American Rail.
road association become subject TO the
regulations OF the commission, affording
1t Jurisdiction over the transportation as
we'll as over the charges of all freight
The commission holds that an embargo
may be justlfiable because Of the phys
zeal inability of the carrier TO deal Will
traffic which overwhelms 1t, but an en-
barge placed against connecting carriers
because of their failure promptly to re-
turn cars Is not consonant with the serv'
ice which the carriers are required by
law to give
commissioner Lanes Opinion.
In his opinion Commissioner Lane says
Instead of an orderly show of caI
Interchange carried out In good faith, We
find in this case one road stealing the
equipment of It's connection by way OF
reprisal against a similar theft OF which
It is the victim. The result Is that the
coal company in Illinois, which had
undertaken by contract to serve In
dustries in Missouri, Is cut off from its
market by reason Of the closing of the
route which the law requires the Illi-
nols Central and the Missouri Pacific &c
maintain and keep open,
1.-THE coal mine is entitled under the
law to rely upon the carrier maintaining
its route The commerce OF this country
cannot be conducted under a system OF
railroad operation based upon such prac-
tices Of waffare as reprisal and embargo
Such methods are not the expression OF
