COMMISSION'S RULE BLAMED FOR TROUBLE Heasmi for Railroads Surren- dering Export Trade, ‘Washington, J:'v & l—The report that the transcontinental railroads controlled by James J. Hill, Edward H. Harriman, the Berwynd syndicate and the Canadian government have determined to surrender their export trade to China, Japan, New Zealand and Australia on Nov.1 has created a great deal of interest at the offices of the interstate commerce commission in this city. If this action is taken‘ it will merely fulfill the prediction that has been made by railroad offi- cials who have resisted the enforce- ment of the rule of the commission by which they are obliged to publish the portion of their export rate which goes to the railroads for hauling ship- ments to seaports and to give notice of any increase or decrease in these rates. The purpose of the transcon- tinental roads to take this action has not been brought to the attention of the commission, which has full power to modify its rulings in order to meet the ohjections of the carriers should they care to do so. But as this mat- ter has been very fully considered by the commission it is not regarded as likely that their rulings in this re- spect will be changed. The railroads have claimed ever since this rule became effective that they could not comply with it and conduct their export trade. James J. Hill gave an example of the difficulty that confrontzd him in a matter of this kind when before the commis- sion, saying he had an opportunity to bid on the delivery of 60,000 barrels of flour to the Orient, but as he could not quote a rate without formally giv- ing notice he was unable to make a bid for the business and the delay caused the order to be placed in Aus- tralia. Constantly changing ocean rates and the demands of trade, the carriers have represented, makes it necessary that they should be free to quote a rate on export business with- out a moment’s delay. They have fre- quently declared that the commis- sion’s rule would put them out of the export trade, with the result of caus- ‘ng an immense loss to the foreign trade of the nation.
