PUBLISHERS PROTEST
COMMISSION RULING
Declare Dismissal Motion of Rail-
roads Was Based on
Errors.

The American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association Yesterday renewed
it's attempt to get the Interstate Com
merce Commission to consider second.
class postal rates and Post Office De-
partment methods in handling its
business. The association filed a
brief protesting the recent order of
the commission. which refused to al
low the association to intervene in
pending proceedings for fixing charges
ca rriers may make for handling the
mails.
- While the commission gave no rea-
son for declining the publishers
original petition. the brief declared
that motion in behalf Of the rail
roads asking it's dismissal was based
on errors of fact and law" The rail-
road had denied the association had
amy interest or participation" in the
matter of pay for carrying mails.
This denial was declared in the brief
to be a surprising instance of rever-
sion by the railroads Ito the dis
credited doctrine of the public be
damned in respect TO a question in
which the publics interest is more
vital than that of any individual, as
ISOLATION or corporation"
The brief insisted that the commits
sion had full authority to consider the
issues raised by the association, and
that the Post Office Department g
method of ira nsa citing business should
be investigated in the light of the in
uuiry into cost of railroad service.

ELDR|DGE AFTER
YOUTHFUL DRIVERS
Will Check Up on Ages of High
School Boys Holding
Permits.

Traffic Director NJ. O. E,ldridge to-
day announced he will initiate a
sweeping investigation throughout
Washington high schools tomorrow
to determine how many, if any, high
school students possess drivers per-
mits which they secured by misrep-
resenting their ages.
Director Eldridge has placed the in
vestigation under the supervision of
Inspector F.. w. Brown of the Traffic
Bureau. Inspector Brown says he
will send traffic officer to each of
the high schools tomorrow to com
pare the ages given the traffic bureau
by high school students having
drivers permits with those they have
given the school authorities.
The action is result of a sugges-
ton made by Assistant Superintend.
ent of Schools Stephen +. Kramer that
he would welcome the cooperation Of
ira ffic officials in stamping out joy
riding among high school students.
Mr.. Kramer estimates that half of the
high school students are under 16
years of age, and he Is anxious that
appropriate action be taken against
any who have misrepresented their
ages to traffic officials in order to Sc
cure a permit to drive an automobile.
The fine for misrepresentation Of
age on the part of an applicant for a
drivers permit is s25 to $500, or 10
days in Jail and revocatio Of the per-
NIT.
