one of the creditors Is the Boston

Most OF the larger sums alleged a.

are duplicated in the total OF their per

one of the objections advanced or

was based on the alleged fact that Mrs

that. In view OF the present condition
of that company, that contention would
not be worth anything. Furthermore
Mrs. Nogel Is not in bankruptcy anyhow

RAILROADS LOSE
SPOTTING CHARGES
Interstate Commission Denies
Right-WOuld Have Melted
$50. 600. 600 Year.

wAsHlNGroN. July 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce Commission has announced
another important, decision denying to
the railroads the privilege OF imposing a
sporting charge for placing cars for
loading or unloading at convenient points
on the tracks for industries, The COM
mission, in an opinion by Commissioner
Myer. found that the sporting charge
wa not justified, for the reason that the
proposed charge would apply in many
cases to services covered by the line
haul rate and because to impose the
charge upon those industries and not
upon others for the same service would
result In unjust discrimination.
The so-called 'spotting charge II II
had been sustained, would nave meant
revenues 10 the carriers estimated at
from $2J .O00, 600 to $50. oO0. 600 a year.
None of the rates, though, was ever col
lected. AS soon as the carriers filed the
tariffs they were suspended by the COM
mission. The United states Supreme
Court disposed of the "sputtiug charge
about a year ago In the Los Angeles ter
msnal cases. involving spotting charges
by the Southern Pacific Railway Conn
pany.
In the arguments before the commits
sion some of the counsel for the carriers
practically admitted that the charge
could not be justified. So the decision
to-day was not unexpected. The suggcs-
ton that the railroad companies might
impose such "A charge grew out OF A
suggestion made by l.ouis -. Brandeis.
who suggested that carriers OF the coun-
try were performing a lot of service for
Industrial plants for which they were
not charging and II IL said instanced
the placing of cars on privately owned
''sidings" to receive the products of in
dustries for shipping,
The commission found that the prac-
tice was incidental 10 the line haul
which contemplated the distance be-
tween the most convenient point to re-
ceive the shipment and thu designated
point of delivery. In England a differ
ent system prevails and the line haul
Is n distinct thing from the terminal
ARRANGEMENTS tntil such a system has
been inaugurated in the commerce OF
the United States the 'spotting charge
1t is held. can have no place In the rev
enue producing service OF the carriers.
The commission holds. however, that
the line haul rate as applied contem-
plates only the placement of a car upon
An industry track for loading or un-
loading and an additional charge should
be made for each additional placement
of Il car for that purpose, as also for
the movement Of cars from place 10
