Granting by the Interstate Com- merce Commission of applications by certain rallroads for lower trans- continental rates was protested yes- terday by the Shipping Board in a resolution adopted by the board, on the ground that it would divert to the roads shipments now carried by water carrlers through the Panama canal.

The importer had been buying single pearls in the for- elgn markets. Pearl after pearl passed the customs officials, until they began to note that the gems were all of the same grade and would make a very nicely matched strand of fine pearls. This was & significant observation, because pearls unstrung are precious stones, dutiable at 10 per cent, while a string of pearls is Jewelry, ‘and jewelry is dutiable at 80 per_cent. The customs officials declared that the pearls were a matched and graded strand, string or no string, and it was held that the business man owed the government $110.000. The Su- preme Court thought differently, how- ever, and the government got only $18,000. This is one of the interesting and true stories about the federal gov- ernment that are told by Frederic J. Haskin in his book, “The American ernment.” The new and enlarged edition is just off the press.
