The decision follows a long and com- prehensive investigation of the rates and practices governing the transportation of coal from the Pennsylvania anthracite fields ordered June 10, 1912, Summary of Declston. As summed up by the commission, the decision held: That the rates on anthracite coul, pre- pared (general domestic sizes) and pea and sialler sizes, in carloads, applicable {rom producing districts in the Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuykill regions in the stute of Pennsylvania to tidewater ports and certain eastern interior points are unrea- sonable and the rates on anthracite coal, repared and pes sizes, from said dis- ricts to other interior points are un- reasonable and reasonable rates fixed for the future. b > Lieutenant R. B.

I15—<Announce- ment was made here today on behalf of General Villa by his Washington agents that all the civil and military elements of his party would eliminate themselves if necessary for the success of a Mexicin peace conferemce. Viila's proposal was contained in a tele- gram from Diaz Lombardo, his secretary of state, to his agency here. “If the peace conferences between the |factions in Mexico reach a successful end,” Lombardo's message said, “not only General Villa, but all' the civil and mill- tary elements affilinted with the econven- tion party would be disposed to eliminate themselves If necessary, with the single | carriers gullty of giving i{llegal pref-|condition that the men who are placed in | charge of the new situation shall sol- {emnly agree to restore constitutional | order and that they shall not be drawn {ing generally lower rates regarded as | from the decadent and odious cletifico or ! reasonable, the commission required reactionary party.” | Lombardo also said that he firmly be- | lleved in the good will of President Wil- ‘ Eliminate Selves to Secure Peace |son toward Mexico and that the American government would not attempt armed | intervention. GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 13.—Zapata forces, which some weeks ago occupled Mexico City, have sutfered another de- feat at the hands of General Coss, and have been driven back into the state of Morelos, which Zapata has controlled for several years, according to advices to the constitutionalist consulate here to- day. Operations against the Zapata forces are being pushed vigorously, it was re- ported. News from Mexico City, received at the prices are being reduced and that there is large daily distribution of food to tue r. It 1s sald that General Carranza will publish a manifesto to the American people and his correspondence with the American State department when the re- sult of the peace conference is known. other coal shippers, to whom Interline transportation at joint rates has been de- n Respondents required to establish through routes and publish joint through rates applicable thereto, That anthracite coal is a low grade commodity, which is transported in vast quantities in trains of maximum tonnage. his condition tends toward lower op- erating costs. That concessions and offsets granted by respondents to their allied coal com- panies in the form of interest rovaity earnings, the use of property at inadequate rent t use of the carriers’ funds and credit, or by other means. are as pernicious as di- rect cash rebates. Such concessions and offsets are unlawful. That lateral allowances pald to a coal shipper in accordance with an agreement alleged to be additional compensation for the use of a facility furnished by the shipper, are unlawful rebates. Lines Affected. Lines to which the decision directly ap- plies are the Central Railroad of New Jersey, Philadelphia & Reading, Dela~ ware, Lackawanna & Western, Lehigh Valley, Erle, Wilkesbarre & Eastern, New York, Busquehanna & Western, New York, Ongario & Western, the Penn- sylvania, the Northern Central and the Delaware & Hudson company. The history of the development of an- thracite mining, according to the de- cision, presents a series of persistent, unsuccessful struggles by the Individual operators against the conditions imposed by the anthracite rallroads. “The conduct of these carriers,” the decision concluded, “‘extending over a long period of years, in granting to their allied coal companies contessions from and offsets against their established tariff rates presents very strong evidence thrat the rates on anthracite coal which these carriers established are excessive, If the great purpose of the act to regu- late commerce is to be carried out we must require that such tariff rates om this commodity shall be established as can be maintained on the shipments of all shippers.” Low Moor Postoffice Robbed.
