UP AT 4:3O
p. L. C. Decides the Freight
House Case Today.
Decision Is a Compromise Be-
tween Demands.

In an opinion this afternoon, the
state public utilities commission gave
compromise decision in the freight
house clearing case. Under the order
Of the commission, Topeka commission
firm must deliver their produce at the
warehouses or in the yards of the
freight companies not later than 4:3o
in the afternoon.
The case. which has been before the
commission more than a month, is of
vital interest to commission firms in
Topeka. They asked for a $3.50 limit
on freight house closing. In this fight
they were supported by the railroads.
Freight house employees asked for a
4 o'clock closing order.
Many Interests Involved.
Testimony offered in the two hear
ings of the case showed that commits
sion firms and freight house employees
were vitality affected by the action of
the commission. Freight handlers as
serted that they were compelled to
work until late in the evening when
deliveries were received up to the $50
closing hour. On the other hand, COM
mission firms asserted that they were
compelled to meet heavy losses in per-
ishable goods when freight depots
were closed at o'clock.
1t was declared that deliveries at
that hour were impossible in order to
care for late orders which demanded
prompt shipment.
Have Been Closing ut 4.
For some time the freight houses
have been closed at 4 o'clock. This
action resulted in the bringing of the
case before the state commission. The
decision this afternoon was written by
w. L. Higgins and concurred in by
other members. 1t is a compromise
decision and may later be modified or
extended as to hours of closing.

The trustees of Washburn college
and the faculty have failed to come to
an agreement in the selection of a
committee to revise the constitution OF
the school.
The faculty decreed that the two
professors on the committee should be
elected by the body as a whole. The
two instructors named by the trustees
were not satisfactory to them, they
say.
Frank G. Dreaming. a member of the
alumni association who has taken &C
tive interest in the matter. said today:
THE trustees refused TO concede to
the faculty on this. and have with
drawn their original offer. They have
also refused to let the alumni aSsocia-
