LINES SOUTH MUST
GIVE NEWPORT NEWS
RATES OF NORFOLK

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The pres
ent rate situation on the Southern, At
lantic Coast Line. Seaboard Air Line
and Norfolk and Western is discrimi-
natory and prejudicial to Newport
News. Va, and favorable to Norfolk,
was the ruling today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the case
brought by the Chamber of Commerce
of Newport News
Under an arrangement by the de-
PENDANTS prior to 1899, Newport News
and Norfolk took equal freight rates to
and from common points, but because
of a disagreement as to divisions the
Southern lines withdrew from the
agreement. and since that time New
port News rates have been higher than
the Norfolk rates.
The Southern lines do not extend to
Newport News, buf through connec-
lions participate in the Newport News
traffic to and from the South and con
troll the rates The decision today holds
that the Southern carriers can not es-
cape responsibility for this discrimina-
ton merely because their rails do not
extend into Newport News. and that
the latter city is entitled to the same
rates as Norfolk.
