HIGHER FREIGHT
RATES IN EFFECT
Five Per Cent Advance Applied
to Part of Central AsSOcias
tons Traffic.

Washington, Oct. 26.-An advance Of
. per cent in rates on certain inter-
state freight traffic in Central Freight
Association territory went into effect
to-day, in accordance with the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion announced on August /.
The increases affect between 80 and
80 per cent Of the entire volume of
freight traffic in central territory.
The remainder OF the traffic approx
mately So per cent-was excepted by
the commission from the advance.
All class rates and many commodity
rates take the increase, but it will not
apply 60 coal, coke, iron ore, cement,
plaster and several other heavy com
modities, which constitute the bulk of
freight traffic in the territory.
In the new application now pending
the railroads request the commission
to permit the advance of per cent to
apply to all traffic. II is generally re-
garded as unlikely that this will be
granted. because existing rates on
some of the excepted commodities have
been declared by the commission to be
reasonable and have been ordered to
be continued in effect for two years.

BRITISH TO PAY
WRIGHTS $4,000
Suit Over AerOplane Patents
Compromised with Foreign
War Office.

The British government has agreed
10 pay the Wright Company, through
its English representatives,, $4,000 for
the privilege of manufacturing aero
planes under the Wright patents. This
is the result of a suit instituted against
the British War Office some time ago
by the British Wright Company.
The original amount sued for was
Sl25.000. but a proposition made by
Griffith Brewer, head of the company,
to accept $4,000 was agreed TO by the
authorities. IL is understood that in
view Of the great demand for aircraft
for military purposes the British gov
eminent felt that nothing should Ue
allowed to stand in the way of the
manufacturers.
simultaneously with the announce
ment Of the settlement from London
came the discontinuance yesterday by
Judge Hough. in the Federal Court, Of
the infringement suit brought by he
Wright Company against Claude Ora
hame-W White. the English aviator The
action was discontinued on motion Of
Williamson d Smith, counsel for the
Wrights, and il was said that matters
had been arranged on a friendly basis.
Grahame- White is now assisting
Lieutenant Porte in the government
flying school at Hendon, and the drop
ping Of the suit is looked upon as a
sequel to the payment Of the large
royalty fee 10 which the British gov
eminent has agreed.

OPPOSING LAWYERS
MAKE THEIR PLEAS
Arguments of Counsel Mark
Third Anniversary of Dis
solution Petition.

Philadelphia. Oct. 26.-The third an
piversary Of the institution by the Jed
eral government of It's suit to break up
into Independent units the United
States Steel Corporation, on the ground
that il violates the Sherman antitrust
law, was Observed to-day by the con-
tending lawyers continuing to fire their
verbal batteries at each other. Henry
Z. Cotton, special assistant 30 the At
'orney General, concluded his argument
~ support OF the petition 20 dissolve
the trust. and was followed by David
A. Reed. Of Pittsburgh, Of counsel for
the Steel Corporation.
A development of the dag was the
governments announcement that, In
view Of the cancellation of the lease OF
the Great Northern Railway interests
ore deposits in the Lake Superior dis
trict 20 the Steel Corporation, the gov
ernment's action against eighteen land
companies controlled by the Great
Northern mad narrowed down TO a ques-
ton of the costs in the present suit.
The government originally wanted the
lease cancelled on the ground that 1t
gave the Steel Corporation monopolistic
control Of ore beds IN the Lake Superior
region. Since the suit was filed at
Trenton, on October 26, 1911. the lease
has been superseded by an arrangement
between the steel Corporation and the
Great Northern interests, by which tn
CORPORATION gets u comparatively small
amount Of ore from that territory.
Counsel for the ore interests, how
ever, has announced that the Great
Northern will oppose decree assessing
costs against the ore companies on the
plea that il would brand these com
panies and officers connected with them
as violators Of the antitrust law. An
other important reason for opposition,
counsel said, was that under the Clay
ton antitrust act third person could
use the decree and il would lay as
prima facie evidence IN any proceeding
he brought for triple damages, under
the CLAYTON act. for alleged injury to
his business because Of the illegal
lease, if the court decreed it was un-
lawful.
The present argument is probably
the first court proceeding in which the
new Clayton law will come under dis
cussion.
Mr. Cotton presented figures to sup
port the governments contention that
the Steel Corporation, along with indie
pendent manufacturers, kept the prices
of iron and steel products uniformly
high through most of the years since
the organization of the concern. He
gave alleged instances of whore high
prices were maintained. and said the
Steel Corporation sold products cheaper
in foreign markets than at home. add
ing that this was an indication OF the
defendants purpose to keep up prices.

EFFECT OF CANAL OPENING
Through Railroad Routes
Small Part of Our Trade.

W. 2. Clough. chairman Of the board
OF directors of the Northern Paeine
Railroad, in the company's pamphlet
report for the year ended June 90
1918, brings to the attention of the
stockholders the opening Of the pana-
ma Canal. The through route OF the
railroads from coast TO coast, he SAYS
has never formed any large part even
Of that minor proportion of the eoun-
try's total trade arriving at or start
ing from coast points.
"The bulk of traffic moving into and
out of the ports on either ocean ne
says, Starts from or is destined tor
the oountry's great interior, which the
Panama Canal can never reach. The
larger part Of the country's Transport
tation movements seems likely TO an
increasing extent to be between points
in it's interior. For time the Panama
Canal route may give manufacturers
located on or near the Atlantic coast
some advantage over their competitors
Of the interior for the Pacific coast
trade; but that question must be and
must remain one quite as much up to
the interior manufacturer as TO the
RAILWAYS"
