EXPLAINS RAJC BILL Facfo About the Leading Piece! of 'Work By Last Cotngress ITS STRONG AND WEAK POINTS Salient Features of the Measure Which Became a Law After Lengthy Consideration. .,. It is something o a task to study in detail the' "rate bill" as it has become law. It m.jiy. therefoue, be useful to onr readers' to make a sum mary of the saliept features that work important: chaiages in the inter state commerce) law. The diefinition of common carriejrs includes lor the first time express companies and pipe lines for the Irairspdrla! lion of oil, but not seelpin.g. ear companies. The definition of a railroad covers all the appurtenances consented with tracks and terminals, and' the term " trans portation" covers all the iustumen-talitir-s used in receiving, conveying and delivering pemnis or property, including what is necessary for venti lation, refrigeration, sorage, han dling, etc. This brings under the law the so-called pifivate car companies and elevators. 2'he elJ:use restricting the use of passes or v'ree transporta tion is new, but. it is pretty liberal in the exceptions made. The provisions intended to prevent common carriers from competing in production and trade in -orumoditits- which tliey carry is limited to railroad companies and takes effect on the. first of May, 1908. The main purpose of this, which was one of the Senate amend ments, is to divorce the ownership, control end operutiom of coal mines from the railroads r-isgaged in trans porting the prodi!-. but it applies to all other commodities except such as may be for the use of the railroads in their business, as common carriers. Railroads arc required to make on reasonable, terms such cfjn'rr.ion at shipping yoinfei by means of s-purs.sid- tngs, etc.. as may be '"reasonablv practicablc,',' where it -vj result 111 "sufficient business to justify the construction and maintenance of the same." Whenever they fail to do this and eomvilainl is mali. H. mm. mission after investigation mn.v 5Y-1 quire it to be done, and its orde;- in the ijremises may be enforced by the same proceedings as its, other t.rders. The profusions regnrding i.',ie tiling and posting of schedules oj? rates anil ciiarges are fiiller aaul rrl0le explicit than those of the la'.v- at present. They must include 'n through and joint rales, or, vvii.-i-e these are not established, airthtj scpal.ale rtltes au(1 charges ' applied fo timm,,i, ro,K. )ortation." o ciia,,oe Can b. made without a, uot'.ee of thirty days, ex cept that the commission mav "in its deseretion antl for causes shown,' 'allow changes on shorter notice t'r modify the requirements of the lar,v "in resjiect to publishing, Ps',ig and filing larirt's." All con f'Acts, agreements or arrangements de-tween en'nimon carriers affecting ;2wjr inies or charger must he tiled wit li the commission, and it may pre scribe the form of all schedules. Sim ilar requirements are made regarding passenger fares. There is a strin gent anti-rebate provision, which is substantially that of the Elkins Act, hut somewhat strengthened. It makes it unlawful for "any person or persons or corporation to offer, grant or give, or to solicit, accept or receive any rebate, concession or dis crimination in respect to the trans portation of any property." whereby avi property shall "by any dvice whatever be 1 1 ansporied at a less rate than that named" in the published schedules, or whereby "any other ad vantage is given or discrimination practiced." The penally is a heavy tine for each offense, but anv licrson or any otlicer, director or agent of a eo.fporat.inn who shall be convicted otf the offense is made also subject to jtmps'isonmenC Ample provision is made 1W the enforcement of this else's Vind offenders who receive re bates or pecuniary advantage are made liable to forfeit three times the J. value of the consideration received in proceedings brought on authority of the Attorney General. ;fhe section giving the commission power to prescribe rates has been made familiar in the long discussion of this measure. It is only necessary lo recall "that where upon complaint and after full bearing the commission finds that "any of the rates or char ges whatsoever demanded, charged or collected." or any regulation or prac tice "effecting such rates or trans portation," arc "unjust or unreason able, or unjustly discriminatory or unduly preferential or prejudicial or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions of this Act," it may "de feraine and prescribe what will be f je3 just and reasonable" rates or charges to be observed as the maxi mum, and what practice is just, fair and reasonable to be thereafter fol lowed, and may issue an order for their observance, which "shall take effect within such reasonable time, not less than thirty days, and shall continue in force for such period not exceeding two years, as shall be pre scribed in the order of the commis sion, unless the same shall be sus pended or modified, or set aside by the commission or be suspended, or set aside by a court of competent iurisdietion." The power to pro scribe rates extends to through and joint rates where the carriers have failed to agree upon them and com plaint is made. Elaborate provision is made for enforcing the orders of the commission, by prosecutions for failure to comply with the require ments of the law and for forfeitures and penalties. Incident alv in desig nating the venue for suits against the commission to "enjoin, set aside, an nul or suspend any order or require ment of the commission," jurisdic tion for such suits is specifically vest ed in the Circuit Courts vi' tho Unit- ed Siaies. This is a joint which pro voked such a ponderous and prolong ed debate m the Senaie. The provis ions of the former Act for expedit ing " the hearing and determination of suit in equity an so forth" is made applicable, with some further specifications, and here the proviso over which so much contention was made is interposed, "that no injunc tion or interlocutory order or decree suspending or restraining the enforce ment of an order of the commission shall be granted except on hearing after not less than five days' notice to the commission.' The other important provisions are those relating to annual reports to the commission, the details of which are fully prescribed, giving the commis sion power in its deseretion to pre scribe forms for all "acouuts, re cords and memoranda lo be kept by the carriers" subject to the Act, in cluding those relating to the move ment of i'Mlk-, its well as receipts and n;oi-!!dii'A:'s, ami enlarging the eoinmission to seven members with seven-year terms and increasing sal aries to $10,000 a year. There is no doubt that this bill has greatly stren gthened and improved the inter-State commerce lav,-. How this provision giving the eomiuisiou power to pre scribe rates will work can only be determined by experience. Probably the only effect it will have will be to put the carriers on their guard and induce them to take pains with their schedules to avoid conflict with the authority of the commission. The commission may also be cautions about conflict oer rates, but if there should be serious conflict the cum bersome system would probably break down by its own weight. liORT ORDER NEWS Epitome of Current Happenings of Interest Briefly Told.
