INVADING JURISDICT.
 ION R. R. COMMISSION
State Commission Threatened Interstate Commission May Cause AbOlishment-Ordered to Cease" in Texas.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-The iurisdic- tlon of the State Railroad Commits slons is being invaded by the Inter- state Railway Commission to such an extent that the very existence of the State Commissions is threatened. This Is the opinion of traffic men who have given the question careful study ii the light of recent decisions of the Interstate Commission.
 Arkansas is naturally falling with in the scope of the new system, and there are some who predict that it's powers will become so circumscribed that the Arkansas Railroad Commits. sion will be abolished, as such, before many years. An effort was made in the last session of the Legislature to merge 1t into public service commis- sion, which would have broadened it's jurisdiction, and probably prolonged its existence. That may be taken up again, at the next session.
 Decisions that have been made in Texas, Illinois, and South Dakota cases indicate disposition On the part of the commission to take from the State commissions the control of lntra-state as we'll as interstate rates. In the Texas case it was ordered that the State commission be required tC cease and desist, on or before Nov. 1, 1916, and thereafter to abstain from maintaining and applying to the transportation of property between points in Texas the classification pro- visions at present maintained and applied to such transportation Fur ther, that after that date, there shall be applied "the provisions of the cur rent Western classification in effect at the time such traffic moves"
 Similar rulings are probable in the ease of recent rough material rates put into effect by trunk line roads, without the consent of the Arkansas Commission, and succeeding its Freight Traffic Nc ,.
 A writer in The Traffic World, re viewing the fight being made against state regulation of rates and the ap- plication of state rules, declares that unless the states are able to devise something. "state regulation of rail- roads is right on the portals of ob- livion.
 "Ultimately," says the same writet, |" it seems, unless the state can devise something, there will not be left even a vestige of state regulation of rates, rules and practices. State control will be confined to the number of trains railroad company shall run, where they shall stop, how many drinking cups there shall be in each passenger waiting room and whether the weeds around the right of way shall be trimmed up each week or once a year, just before seed time"
 It is pointed out that mo one of any weight in interstate commerce matters has suggested any method for overcoming the decisions of the commission in the three cases men toned" and it is generally conceded that there is no interest great enough tc enable the state commissions to make much of a fight for retention of any real rate-making power.
 The Arkansas commissioners admit the seriousness of the situation and consider the restoration of their power remote if not negative.

Agree to End Strike
Of Garment Workers

New York, July 23,-Sixty thou
sand garment workers Of this city,
locked out or on strike for more than
three months, will return to work
this week if an agreemtn reached
today by representatives Of the en-
ployers and the union is ratified by a
referendum vote OF the workers,
which probably will be taken to-
morrow.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Louis Levy, attorney for the
manufacturers. The union, according
to Levy, gained its principal de-
mands in modified form. They in
clude a wage increase of S per cent,
a forty-nine hour week, the preferen-
tial employment of union over non
union workers and a minimum piece
work wage.
Although one of the longest strikes
on record, there has been no violence.
1t is estimated that the money loss to
the workers, employers and the city
generally is in excess of $50,000,000

mate in favor of any German firm in
the United States that has been en-
gagged solely in its usual line OF bust
ness, if that has been of a general
character.
Some of the Oldest and largest of
the German banking firms in New
York consequently do not figure in
the blacklist, even though one OF them
is known by the British authorities to
have purchased the nickel which has
been loaded on the German submarine
Deutschland at Baltimore, because
that was in the line of their business.
But where firms are known to be
actually under German control; where
the profits of their business go to
Germany, or where Germanic firms or
American firms acting as agents have
gone out of their regular lines of bust
ness to deal with Germany, British
merchants have been prohibited from
dealing with them.
British authorities here contend no
legitimate American firm or corpora
ton will be injured by the Blacklist
nor German firms in the United States
which have confined their operations
to their own line of business.

SPRING-RICE SEES
POLK ON BLACKLIST
Allies Cite Lincoln's Action
During Civil War as Prece.
dent for Their Course.
AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION

Washington, July 22.--Anticipating
protests to the State department from
firms and corporations named in the
British blacklist, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
had another conference today with
Acting Secretary Polk in which the
subject was informally discussed.
Probably it will be left to the London
foreign office to develop the position
of the British government officially,
but the informal conferences in Wash
ington are expected to go far towards
clarifying the position of each side and
serving to shorten negotiations that
may follow.
Why Not Communicated.
1t is said here that the British gov
eminent did not communicate the
blacklist to Ambassador Page because
the subject was regarded as one purely
international in its aspects, the order
being directed to British merchants.
10 have preached the matter officially
to Mr.. Page might have been taken as
an admission of the right of other
governments to conern themselves in
its operations.
AS in the case of the allied block
ade, precedents established by the
United States during the civil war are
/ coming up again to be used for justifi-
cation. The allies have found that
President Lincoln on August l6. 1871
issued a proclamation declaring that
all commercial intercourse between
the states in instruction and citizens
OF other states through the ports of
the United States is unlawful and will
remain unlawful until such insurrec-
tons shall cease"
The Act of Congress.
This was followed by an act of CON-
gress of May 26, 1862, authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to refuse
clearance to ships where their cargoes
whatever their ostensible destina.
tion, were intended for points or
places in the possession or under the
control of insurrectionists against the
United States.
! In the British view in these two acts
are found ample warrant for the pres
emit act OF the British government in
for6idding its own subjects to treat or
trade with persons regarded as enc
mics of their country. In pursuance
OF this determination, it is pointed o,,t
