NEW ENGLAND
LOSES APPEAL
Interstate Commerce Commission Re-
fuses to Order Revision of Joint
Freight Rates.

. WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The inter
state commerce commission refused today
to prescribe revisions of joint freight
rates to go to New England roads, but
declared that fair divisions cannot flow
from existing arrangements
New England carriers applied for a re
division of joint rates, seeking a greater
share of the revenues. The commission
agreed with the roads outside New Eng
land that the effort of New England roads
was TO augment their revenue from traffic
which they interchange with their con-
nections without regard to the question
of whether the present divisions are fair
and reasonable and without consideration
OF the probable effect upon revenue of the
other roads"
The commission also says that to ex-
ciude certain roads in New England which
were opposed to the proposal of the ma
Iority would not be treating the New
England roads as whole" The financial
condition of New England roads is not
measurably worse than that of some of
the defendant roads, the commission said.

Gov. Albert 7. Brown of New Hamp-

the situation, with view to determin
ing whether he and a force of officers
can control the situation.
1t IS understood that Governor Brown
IS ready to send 10 "huskies" to assist
Chief Healy and to instruct them to,
take whatever measures are necessary
TO see that the ChampIain Realty Co.
