TWO MEMBERS AGAINST RULING
Harlan and Clements Dissent from
Majority of Board, voting to

Boost Tariffs.

WASHINGTON, Dec increases in
freight rates. approNimating per cent
on all the railroads between sie Atlantic
seaboard and the Mississippi, north OF
tho Potomac ana Ohio rivers, were
granted today by the Interstate Com
merce commission in a divided opinion,
excepting upon certain heavy commod-
tiles, which comprise a large bulk of
tho traffic.
The increases will further apply to the
railroads west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh,
which were granted partial advances in
the decision OF last August which de-
MED them altogether to the roads east
of those points. 1t Is estimated that ad-
vanced rates will increase the annual in
come of the roads about S300OO,oOO. The
commission made its decision upon the
showing of the railroads Ihat in addition
to conditions from which they previously
asked relief, they now are confronted
with an emergency because of the war in
Europe.
War DisOrgnnises transportation.
With Commissioners Harlan and Gle
ments dissenting the majority of the
commission declared
Whatever the consequences of the war
may prove to be, we must recognize the
fact that it exists, the fact that it is
a calamity without precedent and the
fact that by it the commerce of the world
has been disarranged and thrown into
confusion. The means of TRANSPORTATION
are fundamental and ndispensab BILE
agencies in our industrial life and for the
common welfare should be kept abreast
of public requirements"
Basis of Decision.
Summarizing the basis of its decision
the majority report of the commission
said:
1.-THE facts disclosed and occurrences
originating subsequent TO May 20, 1914 as
presented at the further hearing may be
summarized under three heads First
completed returns for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1914, and returns for succeed
ing months; second, the war in Europe
and third, results of the original order
when these cases were originally sub
mitted, as also when the original report
was prepared, the revenue and expendi-
ture account for June, 1914, and the prop
erty investment account for that fiscal
year, were not available, the war was
unforeseen, and the results of our order
were, of course. yet to come. Col
lectively, they present a new situation"
Text Of the Order.
The commission issued this order:

No such Action Before.
Not in the history OF the government

the premier of the administration should

SIMON WOLF FAVORS
MEXICAN COMMISSION

Simon Wolf. One-time Minister to
Egypt, last night warmly indorsed the
suggestion OF Oscar :. Straus that a spe-
cial commission of Americans. well ac-
quainted with international law, be sent
to Mexico to investigate conditions, to
ascertain which faction should receive
recognition by the United States. He
lauded MIR. StraUs for proposing such a
scheme for settling the grave situation.
Nothing but good can come from the
work OF such commission, Mr. Wolf
said 1T is a most excellent idea, and
believe 1t is a logical way OF preventing
Intervention
Mr.. Wolf is a thorough student Of in
ternational conditions. lie has followed
the Mexican trouble closely. and holds
the hope that the American government
will do all in its power to prevent war.
War must be avoided il possible he
said. We cannot afford to sacrifice our
people in a conflict that would last for
years. What would we gain in Mexico?
We do not want the country. We must
find a solution.
BY sending a commission of capable
Americans into Mexico this country
could learn much of importance on
which to base our future action. The
investigators could go deep into the
causes of the trouble and effect a solu-
tion.
"one grave stumbling block is in the
