new CAR RULES
HIT LIVING COST
Stringent Laws Announced
10 Stop Expensive
Freight Juggling.

, BY further tightening regulations
governing freight shipments, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
dealt a sharp blow at the high cost
of living. Under the new rules re-
consignments will prove more
costly, thus making It less profit
able for shippers to shunt cargoes
about the country, seeking the
highest market. They will facil-
itate movement of freight and
make available more cars. q
The regulations provide for re-
consignment of ess-than-carload
lots only upon payment of revenue
for a minimum of $4,000 pounds on
perishable commodities in refriger-
ator cars, and $4,000 pounds for
other freight.
Shipments reconsigned where
back hauls or out-of-line hauls are
concerned will be subject to the
regular rates, plus a reconsignment
charge of IS a car.
Fruit and vegetable shipments
in Western and Southern territory
will be allowed only one reconsign-
ment at the through rate and two
additional reconsignments at the
through rate plus reconsignment
charges.

IR0LE-GERMAN
MIST CLEARS
Relations More Friendly as
Result of Agreement to
Transport Troops.

Berlin. Sept. IA promising sign
for improving the Polish-German
relations is seen in the conclusion
Of an agreement between the two
governments permitting the trans
port OF the Russians interned in
East Prussia TO the interior of Ger
many by the railway across the
Polish corridor. Poland even con-
sented to have the trains accom-
panied by Armed German guards.
Their relations hitherto have been
such that any agreement, even on
matters OF advantage to both coun-
tries seemed impossible in the face
of the prevailing spirit Of enmity
and distrust.
The agreement solves for Ger
many the vexing problem of guard
ing and feeding $4,000 Russians in
East Prussia with limited food re-
sources and inadequate military
forces until they could be trans
ported to Germany by the slow and
inadequate sea route. The evacua-
tiOn now probably will be COM
pletel within a week.
German authorities say nothing is
further from the thought of the
average interned Russian private
than further fighting on any preteXt
whatever, and that eighty per cent
Of them are not BOlshevists.
