called together for a meeting to be held

FREE FARE FOR POLICE.
Members of Local Force Hope for
Benefit in New Duties.

Members of the police force think the
local street railway companies may soor
find way to restore free Transportation
to them. A circular issued to the mem
bers Of the force two days ago told o.
an amendment to the public utilities Law
and instructed the police to see to the
enforcement of the law.
This instruction, it is claimed by mem.
bers of the force. requires them to per
form certain duties upon the cars and
in reality makes them employees of the
railway companies.
Such a question was raised i'm the state
of Indiana. it is stated. and the public
utilities commission of the state decided
that the officers were employees of the
roads to the extent that they were en-.
titled to free transportation.
The decision, 1t is stated, carried with
it the restoration Of the free Transports
ton privilege

ALLEGED FAULTY SCALES.
Charge of Irregularities in Weighing
Freight Investigated.

Investigation Of alleged irregularities
and discrepancies in the Weighing of
freight has disclosed the imposition of
unreasonable charges said to consti-
tute as great q discrimination as would
a difference Of freight rateA
In q report Of an Investigation just IS
sued the interstate commerce commits
sion declares that "a majority OF the
track scales now in use should at once
be rebuilt in order to obtain reason
ably accurate results"
Sharp criticism of the methods Of
weighing such commodities as grain,
coal and lumber is made, 1t being al
legged that shippers almost invariably
get the worst Of the transaction.
The commission has no authority
under the law to issue an order cor
recting the evils disclosed. but 1t
recommends that Congress confer upon
it powers: To fix points at which track
scales shall be installed: to prescribe
the testing. and to supervise the opera
ton Of scales.
