C, Dec. 13. Rail roads have the right to impose such demurrage charges on private cars as they see fit, according to a decision given today by the Interstate com merce commission. The finding was given in a case brought by Proctor & Gamble, soap manufacturers of Cin cinnati, against the Cincinnati, Ham ilton and Dayton railroad. The man ufacturers objected because the rail road assessed them for not unloading their private cars on their own tracks. The railroad argued that the cars were used as a favor to the owners and insisted that as soon as they were taken by the roads for transportation of goods they ceased to be private and were hauled subject to sales condi tions the same as any other cars. The commission held that the railroads are not forced to haul private cars and therefore could impose such conditions as they saw fit. RICH SENATOR ELKINS DYING OF STARVATION Washington. D. C.
