INQUIRY INTO REBATES BEGUN


WARRINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission took up considera-
ton to-day Of the so-called free services
performed BY the railroads for certain
shippers.
The commission has intimated that
allowances made by the railroads to cer-
tain shippers aggregated many millions
OF dollars a year and that II will not
grant the advance rates asked by the
railroads until II has ascertained the ex-
tent of these leaks"
The testimony taken to-day was in
connection with services rendered In Chi
caxo and seemed to indicate that the
city OF Chicago has excellent terminal
and distributing facilities furnished by
the railroads. but that no allowances are
made By the roads to shippers.
Louis y. Brandeis. who represents the
commission In the proceedings, in opening
the hearing to-day said free service per-
formed by the carriers does not include
q grant for revenue lost through indus
trial plant line service but the aggregate
losses in the services OF spotting cars
on private sidetracks In reconBiGnnents
and diversions In transit performed for
some shippsrs in lighterage. drsyage
