(WAS JUNO- TON BU2UCAU Of THB JOURNAL) wnu th pecma coast cine, whien supported the application et the rill road for permission to establish r fluoeO rates generally on trst -bound traffic to the terminals, have net with a reverse before the interstate com merce commission, there are points in the opinion which indicate that this may not be final If approach to made from another ana lev. bisottssina- Iron and steel as an illus tration, and this la the most important trafflo, probably, the commission hints that the carrier overshot the mark and might be successful In more lim ited and selected objective. This traf fic originates largely In and aroond Pittsburg and mostly moves by rail to Baltimore and thence by water to -the Pacific. . HATES ARE SXCES&YK "Accordingly," says the commission, "the carriers name an all-rail rate from Httsburg to the Paclfio slightly in excess of the ROin rail and water rates. If they did no more than this, and did it on a similar basil for each inland iron and steel producing group, thy might well be within their rights and within the law. provided the rates conformed to the other criteria named herein. (The rule governing a reason ably compensatory rate.) "But having thus fixed a rate from Pittsburg to' the Pacific, they proceed to blanket this rate front all points of origin from the Atlantic to the Mis souri river or even westward. More over, they propose at the came time to keep in effect rates from all eastern origins la the same territory to Inter mountaln destinations graded roughly according to the respective length of the hauls." "Commissioner Hail la his concurring opinion strikes the same note more pointedly by remarking: FAIX. TO SEGREGATE It may be that rates and ..move ments from certain groups to the term inals on certain commodities, iron and steel for example, could have been so segregated in the presentation that fourth-section relief could be granted on some, even if denied on others. But presented as they were, the con clusions reached ' must embrace all groups and all commodities covered by the application. It is also to be noted that Commis sioner Meyer was Joined by Commis sioners Each, and Lewis in holding that even If the carriers should not be per mined to impair revenues by reducing all-rail rates from the Atlantic west ern road might well be Justified in meeting water competition by rsduc tione to Chicago territory. These three commissioners also combat the reason ing of the majority opinion that the Intermountaln country is prejudiced by fatiur nf th railroads to ask for a blanket covering the Atlantic end reaching to Chicago for traffic to the Intermountaln territory. 3f O MA&KXD CHOICE "The Intermountaln territory now has no choice of markets at equal rates." they say, "and would not be at aU benefited by excluding Chicago from reaching- the coast cities while these cities already have the advantage of the lower rates from the SJast via water lines." The commission was unable to find that the reductions proposed by the railroad applications would not be rea sonably compensatory if considered by themselves. Indeed, the commission announces that it is satisfied that on this basis the rates would generally and easily pay the extra, out-of-pocket costs, end In numerous Instances would contribute to build up a net re turn besides. Nor was it found that the rate were lower than needed to meet water competition. EFFECT COJTSIDEBED Going beyond this for its reasons to reject the application, the commission reviewed the probable effect in losses that would eeme by reducing fates en traffic which will wove by fail whether rates b reduced or not, and the com mission estimates a net loss f . the roads, taken as a whole, or to the western roads, considered separately, from the ehaftged tsoftdltlori tft divert ing part Of the raitandoWater com merce to an sol -ran haul. It mm marizes t "Except on the assumption that the rail lints are gelling Mile or no Met ness now, It is difficult to see how xney can nope 10 gia touch, i . 'net revenue through the establishment of greatly reduced rates to the Water competitive points." . whue net snutung out nop ior fourth section relief as to certain groups of commodities, in a segregated way, as before pointed out, it appears that large eiffksuUies have been placed in the way of the carriers seeking euea relief by thi conclusion t -BARRIERS I If WAT "We are of opmiea - that before We grant 'th affirmative relief asked, we arc entitled to be shown by the car riers the probable extent of collateral losses of net revenue, if any. and Uie way in which such losses would be -- divided as between various carriers and territorial groups. This kerhel fef tat corn is deftly challenged by commissioner Alien ison in his brief dissenting pifildh. When he says that fee cannot conclude that after the Carrier have satisfied the testa as Id , reasonably cetapSfiaatofr rate they fehvUld be denied access to remunerative traffic "merely because they have not in their presentation entered the realm tf speculation and proved a negative by conjectural evidence. r ggsaONLY 9 SHOPPING DAYS BEFORE CfaRISTaiASMOIlNING HOURS ARE BEST SHOP EARLY!
