Reason No. 2
Let all who fall into your hands
be at your mercy. Just as the Huns
a thousand years ago, under the lead

When she has conquered new domin-
ions for her genius, then the priest

Two substantial railroad rate increases
were granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday making three in
two days. The Commission declined to
suspend tariffs filed by Great Lake water
lines and their eastern rail connections
proposing rate increases averasing five
per cent on general freight. This action
has the effect of permitting the increase
to become effective Immediately.
The Commission also vacated previous
order suspending q 13 per cent increase
In rates on export grain from Chicago to
Newport News and Norfolk, Va, this
action making the higher rate effective.
Thursday the Commission permitted to
be effective advances in rates ranging
from to Is cents per 100 pounds on coal
and coke from the Virginia-West Vir-
ginia fields to tidewater. These three
rate increases will add about $10,ooo,ooo .
year to the revenues Of the railroads in
volved
These rate increa ses are entirely sepa-
rate from the general rate increase all
railroads now are asking.

representing southern lines met here yes

teen with Lincoln Green, vice-president
Of the Southern Railway. at its head to
