Indianapolis, Dec. 31.---A special train
crew carrying the thirty three labor
union officials to Leavenworth, Kan.
left here at 1910 o'clock this afternoon
over the Pennsylvania railroad. The
time of the trains departure with those
convicted of conspiracy. in the dyna-
miting cases was kept secret until just
before the time Of starting.
Despite this arrangement however,
the attorneys for the convicted men
went before Federal Judge Anderson
to petition for writs of error.
Judge Anderson took the petition
under advisement and set Thursday
morning for the further hearing, when
the prayer, for writ Of suspersedas
will also be fled. IL ~
The petition contained over 100 type
written pages andSseveral times as
Judge Anderson read 1t he remarked to
Judge Krum, spokesman for counsels
for the defense; s-
You will have to get a better OBJ
lection than that"
THAT is for the higher court to say
replied Judge Krum.
But that's my Judgment replied
Judge Anderson. The defense attor-
neys said they would appeal to the
United States circuit court of appeals
if the petition for bonds were not
granted here.
About the county jail every arrange
ment was made for taking the men to
the train, which stood on the track
near by, at q moments notice. The
train was composed of two coaches and
baggage car. Sixteen prisoners and
guards occupied the first coach and
seventeen were placed in the second.
AS soon as all were aboard the train
the doors were locked, not to be opened
again until the destination is reached,
and during the night the prisoners will
be handcuffed. The train is expected
to arrive at Leavenwprth sometime to-
morrow.
Just as the prisoners emerged from
the Jail to march to the train they

and relatives stood by crying while the

CARRIERS
EXTENDED
The Time
Suspension Will Continue Un'
til Feb. II
Western Classification No. IS
May Remain
Minimum Weights and Car
load Shipment Mixtures

Washington, Dec. 31.-The proposed
new freight rate classification, known
as western classification No. 81" di-
rectIy affecting the rates and regula-
tions on the railroads not only west
OF Chicago. but throughout the country,
remains under suspension by the inter-
state commerce commission, accord
ing to the terms of the report of its
investigation announced today by the
commission.
The suspension will continue until
Feb. II, or until the interested carriera
shall have complied with the sugges-
ton made by the commission.
The construction of classification
No. ST. was an effort on part Of the
western roads to comply with the COM
missions desire for a year to secure
uniformity Of freight classification.
The commissions inquiry disclosed the
fact of the new classification, while It
reduced the rates in about one-half the
instances where the changes were
made, increased them in the other half,
resulting in the level of rates being
somewhat higher than at present.
Hundreds of changes in the classh-
cation suggested by the commission de-
signed to secure more uniformity OF
ent level of rates.
The commission says: Two really
mOmentOus questions involved in this
proceeding are the questions of mini
mum weights and of mixtures Of car
load shipments, the latter including an
especially great variety of complaints
Of people interested in agricultural inn
plements and machinery"
After the new classification was sub
mitted to the commission, just year
ago, 1000 protests against the various
phases Of It, were received from the
shippers Of the country. 1t was sus-
pended by the commission, pending an
investigation, and subsequently, in or
der that the commission might have
ample time for it's consideration. The
carriers voluntarily extended the sus-
pension until Feb. IA, 1918.
