DECISION WILL COST
ROADS $15,OOO,0OO
Commerce Boards Ruling on
Allowances Has Bearing
on Rate Case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA decision
yesterday by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the industrial railways
case was regarded here as having an
important bearing on the advance
rate case now pending before the
commission.
The decision was necessary because
of the recent holding of the United
States Supreme Court in the so-called
tap line case, which overruled the
Commerce Commission and necessi-
tated a modification of ITS original
findings. The commission in it's orig
NAL decision In the tap line case had
characterized as rebates certain al
lowances and divisions of rates made
by trunk lines to railroads serving
special industries.
The commission ordered these al
lowances discontinued and said that
the railroads could save $15,O 900 a
year in this way from the allowances
given to the iron and steel industries
alone.
Now the commission, in accordance
with the decision of the Supreme
Court, has been obliged to reverse it's
previous order disseminating these
dliOWdICcS, anu 10 announce ina
each case will be decided on it's mer-
it's as to whether or not the allow
ances amount to rebates.
The Importance of this reversal lies
in the fact that the commission in
its advance rate decision a few
months ago laid stress on the discon-
tinuance of these q lowances as one
means of increasing railroad reve-
nues. Today's decision indicates that
this item will not figure SO largely,
If at all, in the commissions recon-
sideration of the advance rate case.
Inasmuch as the railroads in seek
ing a s per cent. freight advance ex-
pected to increase their revenues only
SOC, 000, 900 a year, 1t is apparent what
large place this loss of $l5,000,0O0 is
likely to have IN the commission s
reconsideration of the advance rate
case.
