FREIGHT RATE
CASE REOPENED

the commission to reopen the case and
proceed with its further consideration.
They base this petition upon the ground
that the cost Of conducting their business
has exceeded the forecast of the commits
sion, so that the results are much less
favorable than had been anticipated.
They assert that today, owing to IN
creased cost of operation of various kinds
set out in the petition. the net return is
no longer sufficient.
THE tariffs which were suspended In
the original case advanced class rates
and certain commodity rates; the sug-
gestion of this petition is that instead of
advancing particular rates. there should
be a general increase Of per cent in all
freight rates.
Petition Il Denied.
I'm view Of the allegations Of this
petition the Commission is OF the opinion
that the question of the need OF. and
justification for additional revenue, should
be further examined by It at the present
time.
I'VE think. however, that such exami-
nation can be made more satisfactorily
and more comprehensively in a general
proceeding Of investigation instituted by
the Commission upon its own motion
than by a further consideration OF this
particular record. We have. therefore,
determined to deny the petition for a
rehearing and have instituted a proceed
ing Of inquiry into the following mat
teers:
''(a) Do the present rates of transpor-
tation yield to common carriers by rail-
roads operating in Official classification
territory adequate revenues?
"(b) II not, what general course may
carriers pursue to meet the situation
I'm this connection the Commission
desires to make two observations:
First: The fact that we have decided
to further investigate this subject must
not be taken as an intimation that the
Commission has reached the conclusion
that revenues are inadequate or that
rates should be advanced. Upon this
question no opinion has been formed.
Second: That the statute gives to any
party the right to attack by complaint
which the Commission may reach and
that right.
Upon the hearing of the proceeding
Of investigation appropriate reference to
the former record in this case will be
permitted"
Commissioners Clements and Marble
both dissented. holding that the carriers
should be compelled to file tariffs. One
OF the chief contentious of the carriers
was that the filing of tariffs showing pro-
posed increases would entail an expense
Of $4,000 or more and a delay amount
ing to several months

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Toronto and Indianapolis Are Working
Hard to Gel Next Convention
Of the Brotherhood.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

Despite all efforts made 20 facilitate
the dispatch Of the mass OF routine BUSH
ness unfinished before the convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen. little progress was made
yesterday, and officers Of the organixa-
ton stated last night that there was little
hope of final adjournment until NEXT
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Appeals OF Individual members to the
convention on the awards made by the
board of directors for injuries received
in active service occupied the entire day
yesterday. A number of cases were dis
posed OF. but it is thought that the
greater part Of the sessions today will
be required to finish the report Of the
appeals committee.
Following the completion of the report
of the appeals committee, the reports of
various special committees will be con-
sidered. When these are taken Up the
brotherhood. In all probability, win 20
on record as regards the proposed
amendments to the Erdman act and the
sutherland bill. applying to working
mems compensation. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that the brotherhood will oppose
any amendments to either of these acts
: The Erdman act is looked upon favor
carter, at a recent hearing before the
Senate and House Committees on Com
merce, openly declared himself hostile to
any significant amendment
Oppose Sutherland Bill.
Leaders of the brotherhood are opposed
to the Sutherland bill. for they feel that
1t will work hardship on the working
men because it would prevent them su-
ing under the employers liability act.
1t is contended that the Sutherland bill
would practically make void the employ
ers' liability act under which employees
have received heavy damages.
Announcement was made last night
that the selection Of the convention city
would not take place until after the cleo
ton of officers. II is expected that the
election will be held on Saturday and
that Monday and Tuesday will be occu-
pied with the selection of the convention
city and final adjournment taken on
Wednesday.
Toronto, Canada, has entered the fight
to gain the next convention, bringing
the total of contesting cities UP to six.
Toronto has the unanimous support Of
the Canadian delegates to the convention
and as they are all hustlers, they will
poll a heavy vote for their city. In
dianapolis has sprung into quick favor
with the delegates, and IL would not be
surprising If that city won the fight.

In a personal injury case the petition
alleged that the plaintiff was injured by
the unexpected starting up OF rotary
motor. driven by compressed air. caused
by the opening of lever valve in a dou-
hose; the mechanism was described and
negligence was charged in that the valve
was defective The jury returned YER
dict for the plaintiff and found specially
that the defendants negligence consisted
in using a valve without a locking or
safety device, and that they did not know
what caused the valve to open. Held:
i. Although the petition was attacked
for Indebtedness with respect to the ale
CATION of negligence, no substantial preju-
dice resulted TO the defendant from the
want Of more specific averments-
3 The fact that screw valve was pro-
vfded at another point by which the plain
is not fatal to his recovery, since to have
used that valve would have cut the air
of from another machine as well as from
that which he was using
3 Although the jury were unable to
say in what manner the valve was opened.
their verdict is sustained on the ground
termination whether under all the condi-
tons shown, it was negligence to use
lever valve, without a locking device. in
a situation such that it might in various
ways be accidentally opened
4 The admission Of opinion evidence
that the valve, when used in the situa-
ton described, was unsafe, IS not SUM-
Gent ground for the reversal of the judg-
