ORDERS RAILROADS
TO 0RA|SE n. Y.RATES
|. C. C. Acts to Make Fares
Equal to Advanced In
terstate Fares.

Railroads in New York state were or
dered last night by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to make effective
passenger fares and baggage charges
for transportation within the state sim
liar to the advanced charges authorized
for interstate traffic. 1t was the first
decision on the right Of the federal gov
ernment under the transportation act
to require railroad rates within state
to correspond to the higher levels of
interstate tariffs. The commissions or
der was made on complaint of the New
York roads that the state commission
had refused increased passenger and
baggage rates on the intrastate traffic in
conformity with interstate advances.
Similar proceedings are pending affect
ing more than half the states in the
Union.
Authorized in August.
By its order of last August the COM
mission authorized in the New York
region an increase of 40 per cent in
freight rates, 20 per cent in passenger
fares, excess baggage charges and rates
on milk and cream and also a surcharge
of SO per cent on Pullman accommoda-
tions. The New York public service
commission granted the freight advance
except on milk. but denied the increases
within the state, and the carriers ap-
pealed to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The commission held that there was
a general obligation resting upon it
ito exercise control over intrastate
commerce so far as it affects inter-
state commerce"
Plan for Fair Return.
THE decisive factor the ruling
said, "is whether the rates under con-
|sideration injuriously affect inter-
Estate commerce. Congress directed
that rates be allowed, which would
yield an aggregate return of from
5l2 to per cent on the value of the
railway properties, the commission
stated. adding:
There can be no doubt of the
power Of Congress to devise and pro-
vide for carrying into effect plan
for assuring the nations interstate
railroads fair return upon the value
of their property; and the full con-
troll of Congress in this matter is not
to be denied on the ground that the
carriers aggregate earnings are a CO.
minging of intrastate revenue and
interstate revenue"
Commissioner Eastman handed
down q dissenting opinion, contend
ing that the decision of the majority
was beyond the lawful power of the
commission. The new rates are to
become effective by December 1s on
the filing of five days notice to the
commission and the public.

EICHOFF'S APPEAL.

Eichoff, Austrian statesman, has
 made an appeal to the American government and the American people
 to come to the rescue of the T. 900 00O Austrians who are now faced with anarchy and starvation. These same 7,000,000, little more than year ago, were seeking the blood Of American men in France, enemies, almost as bitter as the Germans themselves. Yet today they arc fal- len enemies and are in dire distress. Echoff's appeal is touching one. It is SO worded that it cannot of fend, and it is likely to meet with q generous response over here. Had it been Worded in q less skillful man ner, or had it been more Teutonic in tone and phraseology, it might have offended. The power of the written word is great and Eichoff by his skillful word picture of Austrian misery and his well-written plea for relief is likely to obtain greater re- suits than even he had hoped for.

by the union officials. On the request
OF the Secretary of Navy Daniels they
postponed the strike to give the Gov

JAPAN PREPARES TO
RETURN SHANTUNC
Ready to Open Negotiations for Re-
turn of Province, China
Is Notified.

TOKYO, Jan. 1S.-Yukichi Obota,
minister to China, 1t is understood.
has been instructed to notify the Pc
king government that Japan, having
succeeded to Germany's rights in
Shantung, is ready to negotiate at
any time for the return Of the prov
ince to China.
Any action by japan toward tho
restoration of Shantung to China at
this time would be simply prepara-
tory moves, 1t was said yesterday by
officials in Washington. The Ger
man government has thirty days af-
ter formal ratification of the peace
treaty in which to turn over to japan
the documents relating to former
German possessions in China. Lacking
these papers, 1t was said, Japan did
not know In detail what German
rights had been taken over when
Tsingtau was captured.
1t was regarded as probable, how
ever. that the Japanese government
was making preliminary arrange
ments in order that negotiations with
China for restoration of the province
might be expedited when the docu-
ments were received.
