RAILROADS SEEKING IMMEDIATE RAISE Woud Accept Reduction in Freight Rate Increases Washington, April 11.—The chief railroads of the country, seeking to hasten proceedings in their applica- tions for general increases of 15 per cent. in freight rates have notified the Interstate Commerce Commission that should the increased rates be author- ized the roads would accept a reduc- tion, without contest in the courts, at some later date when the present emergency should have passed. The stipulation reads as follows: “The carriers are secking a general advance in freight rates on the ground of increased operating expenses and increased capital charges. If these conditions should be subsequently found by the commission not to be permanent the carriers agree that up- on a general investigation similar in character to that which the commis- sion may conduct at the present time, the commission may order a,general reduction in the advance which may be allowed. “The carriers further agree that they will put any such order into ef- fect, and they will not question the validity of such general reduction on the ground that the reasonable of specific rates has not been investigat- ed by the commission.” The roads also urged the ‘commis- sion to grant the increases not. later than June 1 next, declaring that the present need was imperative and that they were facing a situation grow- ing more serious with every day of delay. Representatives of Southern apd Western lines agreed unreservedly to accept any order to reduce rates gen- erally that the commission might see fit to issue later should the present day of soaring operating costs soon pass. R. Walton Moore, representing the Southern group, told the commis- An Extensive Collection of BEAUTIFUL ~ RUGS The collection of Rugs to be found in this store has been chosen with great care.

S. Citizens May Not Trade With Germans in Germany. Washington, April 11.—The depart- ment of justice is preparing the draft of a trading, with the enemy act which will be submitted to congress as an administration measure for prosecuting the war against Germany. These features of the bill, which were said to have been tentatively decided upon, became known today: Commerce between German sub- jects and between such subjects and American citizens will not be pro- hibited in the continental United States. % Trading between American citizens or German-composed corporations in the United States with German sub- Jects in neutral countries will not be molested by the United States, but this provision will be merely the declaration of a principle, as the Brit- ish trading with the enemy act for- Lids any such commerce. Germans residing in the United States or .dts possessions will be pro- hibited from trading with the German empire and its subjects in Germany, and forbidden to transmit funds, money orders, drafts, notes, etc., to either and with a view of preventing such trade to be carried on indirect- 1y special provision will be made. German subjects in the TUnited States or its possessions who violate the act or who engage in any activity to the prejudice of the United States will enjoy none of the benefits pro- vided in the act for those who con- duct themselves in accordance with the laws and institutions of the United States.
