CENATOR CUMMINS law making common,
- carriers liable for the full value of shipments
was signed by President Wilson on March a. The
intention Of the law is to prohibit the railroads
from limiting their liability below the actual loss
in damages to the shipper - >'-~. e ,'-S -
The argument is now being advanced by the
railroads that this legislation, contrary to the pur-
pose of its author, makes possible an increase Of
ten per cent in all freight rates, A preliminary
hearing granted carriers and shippers by the
Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington
on April 10 at which over two hundred represent
tatives OF both interests were present ~
O. f. Butterfed of the New York Central a6ta
ing as attorney for the railroads Suggested that
the Cummins law be so Construed that carriers
might eliminate from their bills OF lading the
clauses fixing liability for damage TO the invoice
price of the shipments but retain the clause giving
value lat the place and time of shipment" as the
basis for damage claims With these amend
ments, he said, the roads would not expect any
increase in rates. 4
With other classes Of freight whose sales now
rest upon some specifications of value Mr.. Butter
field said that while under the Cummins law rates
might still be made to rest upon value some in
crease in the normal rates should be permitted
because the act imposes added. liability upon
the carriers.
Other counsel suggested that the roads under
take the insurance of all shipments as has long
been customary among shippers and instead OF
increasing rates simply add the premium paid to
the other freight charges
H. c. Barlow representing the National Indus
trial League OF Chicago organization composed
of seventy-hve thousand shippers suggested that
the railroads wait six months from June 3, the
date on which the law becomes effective, and on
the basis of actual experience determine whether
increased liability entails increased cost for ser
vice rendered
A second public hearing of the commission was
set for April 20 and it is anticipated that from the
briefs then filed rulings the application of the
law will be promulgated before the end of May

tA.aoelatsd Prr.. by Eedrtal wlrIe...:

tAssociated Press by Federal wireless
/ PARIS, May 1l,--Italy has said her
last word and awaits the reply Of
| Austria ~" VIZ @r . -.'
This is the information of La Ii.
herte, an afternoon newspaper, which
adds that, unless the Austrian reply
arrives before midnight tonight, or Il
the reply is unfavorable, negotiations
between the two countries wilI be
broken "a automatically. %. &
For a month now, IL has been a
crime in Italy to diyulge or publish
| Guything about the movements of the
nrmy or navy, punishable by from three
months 10 years imprisonment and
fine not 10 exceed 5000.
| When the information is communi-
RATED to a foreign state or its agents
or Is published abroad, the penalty is
doubled, and II the news be obtained
by violence or fraud, the penalties are
still further increased.
Italy's Reasons for War
Despite this secrecy, il is generally
understood that Italy will publish short.

reasons for entering the theater of con.
hict. These arguments have Eeen sum.
married. here In advance as follows:
First-ltaly's compensated neutrality

the simple reason that as neutrality
is right il can neither be renouneeh
nor promised TO the advantage of other
! belligerent Powers without violating IL.

tion promised by Germany and Austria
and guaranteed them her neutrality
throughout the war, in other terms as
surcd them that she would not threaten
their frontiers, which they could leave
unPuarded, by 80 doing she would, have
implicitly joined them in the war
against the Allies, which would be
! justified to consider Italy no longer
neutral bat belligerent.
Never Justified Austria
" SecOnd-The fact that Italy pro.
claimed her neutrality implies that she
did not consider sufficient the reasons
that brought about the war. Were she
to accept compensation for her neu.
trality she would he admitting that
snch reasons were sufficient and the
war fully justified, and hence that she
should have Joined Germany and Aus

Third-It is against Ttaly's interests
that Austria should increase her influ.
"nce and eventually acquire territory
in the Balkans AMI the Near East. BY
remaining neutral and accepting com,
pensatiOn to so remain neutral Italy
would be acting against her interests.
Fourth-Italy would expose herself
