Merchants and manufacturer in

American valuation plan in the Fordney
tariff bill, according to the National
Council of American Importers and
Traders.
Samuel NJ. Vauclain, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, declares
1T trust that the lawmaking body in
Washington will not infict upon those
who desire to continue in foreign trade
such a ridiculous law as the Fordney
tariff bill would be did it contain the
American valuation plan as set forth In
section 402.''

RATE BILL FIGHT
RESUMES TUESDAY
Repeal of the 5 1-2 Per Cent.
Provision Chief Subject
for Hearing.
Special Despatch TO TIE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.

Special Despatch TO The NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., Nov. 20.
Hearings on the Capper bill, designed
to repeal the "a per cent. rate making
provision of the Transportation act,
and also the section giving the Inter-
state Commerce Commission control
over intrastate rates that discriminate
against interstate commerce, probably
will be resumed Tuesday morning. It
was declared by Senate leaders to-day.
Meanwhile members of the Interstate
Commerce Committee conducting the
hearings are making thorough digest
of the statements Of Edgar Il. Clark,
for fifteen years chairman of the COM
mittee interpreting the meaning of Con
'gress, in enacting the provisions now
under attack.
Mr.. Clark, appearing before the COM
mittee at the request of the president
of the national association of owners Of
railroad securities, said that no single
piece of legislation had been the subject
of more exhaustive hearings by the COM
mittees of Congress than the transporta-
ton act.
''rhe Constitution of the United
States.' Mr.. Clark said, has never guar
anteed any capital invested in public
utility any particular percentage of re-
turn. or in fact any return whatever
But 1t has said and does say that
the owners of that utility shall not be
deprived of the opportunity TO earn fair
return upon the value of the property
which they devote to the public use.
I'VE have a long and unbroken line of
decisions Of the highest courts in the
country that that is the law of the Con-
stitution.
"The rule for rate making which is
here under attack is only statutory
declaration OF that constitutional pro-
vision. Congress was. 7 think. very
cautious and very conservative in de-
termining what should be taken as a
reasonable return on the value Of the
property for the two year period sue
ceeding the enactment OF the law"
Mr.. Clark said it was significant that,
while fixing the return at 51a per cent,
the same act provided the carriers
should pay the Government per cent.
interest on money loaned by the Gov
ernment to the carriers.
Mr. Clark sought to correct what he
termed TO be Interpretations made
to the Senate committee over the all
legged abuse Of power by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and said
II assert that in no case in which the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
been called upon to exercise that power
has it failed or omitted to find specifi-
cally what would be a reasonable maxi
mum interstate rate as basis for the
removal of the discrimination"

RIGHTS OF U. S. LIMITED
Question viii Likely Go to
Supreme Court for Final
Settlement.
Special Despatch 10 rur NEW YORK HERALD.


New York Herald bureau.
Washington, II. e., Nov. 20.
Justice Stafford in the District OF Co
lumbia Supreme Court, will issue an or
der tomorrow requiring Secretary Hoo
yer to give license to the mtercity
Radio Corporation of New York, so that
a commercial radio business may be con-
Quoted throughout the East.
The order is the result of a spectacu-
lar case brought by the company to pre-
vent it's being put out of business py the
Department Of Commerce through re-
fusal TO grant license. upon the ground
that the wave length employed in send
ing the messages of the company inter-
fered with the sending OF messages by
other stations in the East.
The action, which was brought few
6ays ago by Wade III. Ellis, as counsel
for the company, has attracted unusual
interest, as it involved the highly I'M
7ortant question OF whether the Fed
eral Government had control of the air
to an extent to which 1t might forbid
its use altogether.
Congress some years ago passed a law
giving 20 the Department Of Commerce
the duty of administering rules and
regulations for the operation Of radio
stations Licenses have been granted to
those who applied for them. but never
has q case arisen where-except in the
emergency OF war--a license has been
refused.
The Intercity Rad.o Cooperation sends
radio messages among several cities, in
Guiding New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago.
IT has invested about 100000 1t has
been operating under a license which eX-
pired OH November IL. Upon that date
the Department of Commerce, asserting
that the corporation was interfering
with other corporations, refused to re-
new the license. The corporation said
that to forbid it from using the air
would not only be exceeding the author
tty extended to the department, but also
would be confscatlon of the corpora
TONS property.
The Government engaged in the suit
10 bar the company, but the court has
decided that the Government. while able
10 supervise the use of the air, has no
right to forbid it's use 10 any one. The
ISSUE is important, not only with regard
to the operation of radio stations, but
also as it applies to aircraft flying be-
tween States.
The case, it Is expected, will go to the
supreme Court for final decision.
