FORTHCOMING DECISION
HITS DISCRIMINATION
interstate Commerce Commission
Preparing for Eastern Freight
Rate increase.

The answer which the Interstate Com
merce Commission will make to the re-
quest of the railroads east Of the
Mississippi for q general increase Of SIS
per cent in freight rates will be a sweep
ing order against discrimination and re-
bates.
The Steel Trust. Sugar Trust, Lumber
Trust, anthracite coal combine. and
stone companies will be hardest hit.
For the past few months the COM
mission has been making q secret in
vestigation of the extent to which the
railroads make allowances" to industrial
concerns. principally such as have d.
rectorates interlocking with tho railroad
corporations. Armed with the informa-
ton which 1t has obtained. the commits
sion will proceed in the fall to hold
hearings on the railroads request for
higher rates.
The order OF the commission. which
will put an end to the practice, will be
novel. In that it formally will grant per-
mission to the railroads to cease making
such allowances. which amount to re-
bates. The railroads hardly can refuse
to accept the offer. inasmuch as II
will satisfy their demand for increased
revenues. Furthermore. II will accom-
plish the important object of compelling
the industrial concerns. which now en-
Joy the benefits of discriminatory rates
to pay the same charges eNacted OF
their less fortunate competitors.

The order issued to this effect says
that the department will take no cogni-
zance of a debt complaint against an
employee, so far as the creditor 10 con-
cerned. beyond acknowledging receipt Of
his communication. The order says in
part:
"While the department will not per-
nit itself to be used as collection
agency. 1t will not consider as Mt en-
ploye any one who contracts debt and
then without sufilcient excuse neglects
to make payments. and upon receipt OF
q debt complaint it will be referred to
the proper chief OF bureau for a re-
port in writing from the employe con-
cerned, which, together with . notation
Of the conclusions reached by the de-
partment, will be made part Of the
Official record in his case.
AN employee who contracts indebted
ness and then without sufficient excuse
or reason neglects or avoids payment
thereon will be discharged"
In all Of the government departments
there are regulations Of this sort. and
in most of them methods are taken
whereby delinquent employees shall pay
OF their obligations in small payments
The order Of Mr.. Garrison Is believed to
be the most stringent in its wording.

for This CouRress.

The friction which has been existiLe
between the radical and conservative
members of the House Banking and Cur.
rency Committee yesterday broke OFT
afresh when Representative Ragsdalc OF
South Carolina, left the committee roor1
I'm a hun, declaring he would have MOTH
ing more to do with the forming OF the
Glass currency reform bill.
Mr.. Ragsdale made a demand Of Chair
man Glass for copies OF all the amend.
ments that had been submitted to date
by members of the committee. and when
Glass declared he had thrown some OF
them in the waste basket because they
had been considered immsterial. or be-
cause they had been voted down. Mr..
Ragsdale left, announcing he would not
return. He was forced 10 return to the
committee room a minute for his cane,
but said later under no circumstances
would he return.
The Democratic members In conference
yesterday revised the section of the bill
dealing with issues OF notes Of the Sc
called asset currency, making il compul-
sorry en- Federal reserve banks to carry
in their vaults 80 1-S per cent of the
value Of the notes issued in gold.
The committee also took the limit OF
the issues of such notes by the Federal
reserve banks. The limit had heretofore
been fixed at $500. 900 900 in the bill. The
members believe that the gold require
ment will eliminate the necessity of plac-
ing fixed limit on the amount of note
issues that he made.
Several other minor changes were made
in the bill.
