Charges of Relating.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, April 27.-In a
statement issued here today by the rail-
road transportation brotherhoods. cam
paigning jointly to secure an eight
hour day from the railroads of the
country. attention is directed to the
bates to shippers and hauling private
cars" The statement says, in part:
IF the railroads are really sincere in
desiring to conserve their revenue, a
recent report of the interstate COM
merce commission shows them how
they would save millions of dollars
which they lose through the practice
of hauling private ears and the grant
ing of rebates.
This is important in connection with
the highly exaggerated statements
which the railways are handing out to
the public as to the cost to the car
riers of the adoption of the eight-hour
workday in freight train service.
TT is commonly supposed that the
practice of rebating has been brought
TO an end, but the record OF hnes I'M
posed upon the railroads shows that
this unlawful practice has not yet been
reported. Not only do the railroads
lose revenue by granting rebates, but
the fines that are imposed by the courts
when rebates are detected are very
1t is reasonable to sup
pose that only a small percentage of
the actual rebating is discovered by
the authorities. In 1915 the fines i'm
posed upon the carriers amounted to
s234.000.
Tables prepared by the commission
show that the revenue from private
cars handled free during the year 1913
on only eighty-eight roads would, at
tariff rates, have been s644.250.79."
