RATE CASES STILL
HOLDING INTEREST
Furnace Allowances at Cambria
Steel Works Under
. Discussion

The Public Service Commission to-
day took up new phase of the indus
trial railroad situation when it heard
the objections of the Cambria Steel
Company to cancellation of what are
known as furnace allowances by trunk
lines. The Cambrias case relates to
charges at its works in Johnstown and
is separate from the cases of the
Union and Monongahela connecting
railroads of the Pittsburgh district
which won their first fight against the
trunk lines, and the Bethlehem Steel
Company and the Philadelphia, Beth
lehem and New England Railroad,
which presented the case yesterday.
Ten other industrial railroads and
manufacturing companies have yet TO
present cases, offering differing angles
to the situation. =,
The Bethlehem cases closed last
night, but a decision will not be given
for some time. 1t attracted much
attention because of the declarations
that because the companies had not
enjoyed joint rates and allowances
they were losers. The Bethlehem CON
tended that it was in the same posltlon
as the Pittsburgh companies, but did
not get the advantages which they did.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has ruled differently from the
state commission and this adds in
terest to the hearings.
On the subject of the controversy
the Railway Age Gazette says;
THE Pennsylvania Public Service
Commission has followed the commits
sions of New York state and Canada
in ordering the railways to continue
their allowances to short industrial
railroads, which allowances have been
declared by Mr.. Brandeis and the In
terstate Commerce Commission to be,
in most cases. eXorbitant and Illegal,
and which, so far as concerns the
United States Steel Corporation and a
few other large mill owners, have been
discontinued on interstate traffic. The
apparent conflict between the views of
the federal and the state authorities
on this matter, of which much has
been made in the press, is, prob
ably. far less important than it seems.
There may be no real conflict at
all. The essential thing Is the rea-
sonableness of the compensation for
the service on the industrial road.
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission itself has postponed judg-
ment on many cases. The Penn
riers because the point had already
been decided by the Supreme Court of
the state, but it is going to investigate
the matter further. Evidently there Is
long legal contest ahead; for, not
only the confusion of state and federal
authority, but also the confusion Incl
dent to all complicated freight-rate
puzzles, seems to affiict this contro-
versy in a marked degree. But the
State Cor the States) is committed
irrevocably to the duty of making all
transportation rates, everywhere, rea-
sonable and just; and shall such a
power be thwarted by sawmill or an
iron furnace?"
