HARLAN DECLARES
HIS ENTIRE DISSESr

Chairman Harlan, while agreeing
that the roads have established their
needs OF additional net revenue, de-
clares his entire dissent from the
coures now approved by the commits
sion for permitting the carriers to
augment their revenues"
The original record contained no
evidence tending to prove that any of
the proposed increased rates affecting
trunk lines or New England territories

land this deficiency In proof was not
supplied upon the further hearing. The
record showed the financial condition
or the trunk-line carries generally to
be mach more favorable.
we pointed out, however, in our
original report the sources from which
the needed additional not income
could and should be- obtained. namely.
BY provision of rates and an aband on
Inent of practices found to be unrc-
muncrative or wasteful.
by following the suggestions made
In the original report the carriers
could undoubtedly secure moro addi-
tional not income than the amount csti-
mated to accrue under the proposed
horizontal rate increase. and far more
than can accrue to them under the
relief now accorded In the supplemental
report.
II cannot bat think that a general
increase In the standard rates of this
country. While the rate structures OF
these carriers remain full of incon-
sistcncies. determinations and wrong

ues. Is morally wrong: that the plac-
Ing OF additional burdens on inter-
state commerce that Is not also placed
upon State commerce Is also wrong,
ana that the course approved in the

as 1t Will be harmful to the gen
eral interests"
Commissioner Clements. dissenting,
says in part:
Il can but regard the action now
taken by the commission rs out Of
harmony with the spirit and purpose Of
the law. and as taking "a step that leads
away from the sound prlnci pies neces-
sary to conserve the ends or Justice"

The application Of the Eastern roads
FOR rehearing Of the rate case was
made on September ID last. on the
ground that the European war and
other stated reasons had materially
changed conditions since the previous

that II was made In behalf Of 1l2 rail-
road companies comprising thirty-hve

was stated that since the previous de-
cision the complete income accounts

The association has now nearly 1900

authorities to keep it out. They deplore
and commend the Catholic attempts at

They rejoice that many educators who
are not Catholics are coming to their
point of view that education. to be effec-
tive and adequate, must carry a given
amount of religious instruction. They
rejoice also in an increased number of
Catholic schools for girls. and commend
them to Catholic parents. And finally
they report an encouraging growth in
