that the Sc workingmen's fare would not |

speaking for the Barre & Montpelier I
Traction & Power Co. said that the |
recent order of the Vermont public serv-
ice commission for a hearing TO be held |
here May II, had brought about the
of the new rule relating
to half fares. He was aware of the
fact that the labor unions had petitioned
for the hearing and said the traction
company would be prepared to present
is side OF the case on the day of the
hearing. Officials of the road emphasize
the point that the intercity line is not
/ paying proposition and that the in
,rease is entirely justifable for that
reason. Shorn of all other considera-
lions, it is stated. the increase of work
ngmens fares is imperative il the pro-
,eeds Of the road are to approximate
n any measure the operating expenses.

U. S. BODY IS UPHELD
SUPREME COURT HOLDS COM
MISSION RATE MAKING POW
Err LEADS ALL OTHERS.
DECISION is VERY SWEEPING
Believed to Be Most Thorough DecIar-
alton In Favor OF the Government
Authority Yet Made by the Supreme
Court of the U. S.

Washington, June 10.-That the
rate making power of the interstate
commerce commission takes prece-
dence over the jurisdiction of state
commissions in situations where the
reasonableness Of interstate rates is
called into question was shown when
the U. S. Supreme court handed down
decision on Monday UNFOLDING the
efforts of shippers of Shreveport, La,
to prevent alleged discrimination
against them by the Texas railroad
commission in favor Of Houston and
Dallas, Tex.
The decision is believed to be one
of the most sweeping declarations
in favor of the dominant authority OF
the federal government that the SUI
preme court has yet made.
The interstate commerce commits
sion found that class and other rates
from Shreveport to Texas points were
unreasonable and ordered rates to be
equalized so that Shreveport would
not be Disseminated against in favor
Of Dallas and Houston.
Justice Hughes said there were sew
eral ways of conforming to the COM
missions order. Reviewing the OBJ
lection of the railroads that the COM
mission could not reduce interstate
rates to conform with interstate rates.
Justice Hughes said the power of con-
gress was adequate to meet all the
emergencies that arise out of local
interference with national inter-
course.
Justice Hughes said that congress,
not the state, might prescribe the rule
when state and national interests
conflict
The Shreveport litigation grew out
of a protest made by shippers of
Shreveport. La, against discrimina-
ton by the Texas railway commits
sion, The Louisville railroad COM
mission joined in this protest. It was
contended that the Texas commission
fixed rates so that business which
should have come to Shreveport be-
cause of its geographical location near
the Texas line, went to Houston and
Dallas In other words, Shreveport
could not get business in competitive
territory in Texas-territory which
was a fair commercial field for the
activities of all three cities. The
Louisianans appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission, claim
ing that the rates from Shreveport
to Texas points on the Texas Pacific
railway and the Houston East &
West Texas railway were unreason-
able and discriminatory. The COM
mission decided they were unreason-
able and prescribed lower interstate
rates.

BLOCKADE IS OFF

TO TAMPIco AS GuN8oATs
REACH PORT.
MAKES PLEA TO MEDIAToRs
Carranza VIII Address Note to ENJOYS
in Which He viii Announce That
He is Sending Delegates to Media
ton Conference.

Mexican City, June 10.-"The block
ade of Tampico has been suspended. ="
This formal announcement was is
sued on Monday by the government
Niagara Falls, June 10.-The pro-
tests of the Mexican delegates and
the A-B-C. plenipotentiaries have
forced President Wilson to stop the
shipment of war supplies to the con-
stitutionalists A statement was
made public by the Mexican ENJOYS
which shows that Washington has
promised that the ammunition aboard
the Antilla will not be landed at Tam
pico
Washington; June 10.-General Car
rama will address note to the A.
nounce that he is sending delegates to
the mediation conference. The in
structions of these ENJOYS will pre-
clude their acceptance of any protocol
or other agreement which provides
for the settlement Of Mexico's inter-
nal affairs.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 10.-The
nouncement that the Huerta govern
ment at Mexico City had countermand-
ed the order on Monday for the block
ade of the port of Tampico was scarce
ly of greater significance here than
the disclosure that the United States
government had accepted in principle
the plan of pacifcation for Mexico
drawn by the American and Mexican
delegates here.
Washington, June 9.-GeneraT Car
ranza's reply to the last commuuica-
ton of the mediators has been re-
ceived by the constitutionalist junta in
Niagara Falls this week. General Car
rama expresses his willingness to en-
ter the Niagara Falls conference, but
on his own terms. The rebel chief
will not consent to enter into any
armistice. He still stands out against
any attempt on the part of the United
States or the A-B.-C. diplomats to in
terfere with Mexico's internal affairs,
but he gives evidence of willingness
to let down the bars slightly in regard
to this question of a settlement of
MeXico's own differences through
peaceful conferences. Carranza is
willing to mediate the international
questions involved in the present stu
alton, and it is understood that he &C.
knowledges that it may be necessary
in this connection to discuss some
phases of Mexico's internal affairs.
The stand that Carranza has taken
was communicated to Secretary Bryan
and it was apparent that the admins
tration found ground for hope in it
that the mediators might finally admit
Carran4a to the proceedings. Carran-
Za's reply to the mediators, as re-
ceived in Washington, consists merely
of certain instructions to his agents
: here The mediators' communication
was addressed to Senior Zubaran, Car
ranza's representative here, and the
reply based on the first chiefs instruc-
tions, will be sent over the signature
of Senior Zubaran. 1t is understood
that the Zubaran note will seek to
minimize the question of an armistice.
at the same time giving no indication
that Carranza will ever consider yield
Ing on that point.
