COMMISSION'S ORDER

'" 9
Tariffs Em Not Been Revised to
Meet Cancellations.
Failure to Comply Taken to Mean
That Camera Expect to Appeal
to Federal Courts or
Injunction
Although Friday waa the day aet by the
Texas railroad commission for the old
Texas freight rates to go Into effect un
der Its order canceling all recent Increases
granted none of the Houston rallroadi
uiaisuica me larins oamerea.
Under the ruling of the commission It
was mandatory that the railroad revise
their tariffs to meet the order. During
me past year the commission granted
many Increases in frele-ht rates but In
-reiauauon ior tne decision ot the Inter
state commerce commission In the Shreve-
Sort case the Texss railroad commission
londay ordered that all the Increases
were cancelled effective September 1
- To make the ordered rates effective
rTiaay September 1 It was-necessary for
me rauroaas to revise every existing tar
Iff and Issue entirely new ones However
this Is not given as a reason by the rail
roads for their noncompliance with the
uruer or ine commission.
In railroad circles It was freely admit
ted that the rates ordered Installed Frl
day by the commission had not been in
stalled. It was not amid whether the
cause for this waa that the roads had not
had time to reissue tariffs or for other
reasons. -
It is known that the roads contemplated
some kind of action which would restrain
the commission from enforcing Its order
ui cancellation Dut up to Tlday night no
action had Men taken and railroad men
were loth to discuss the matter. It was
suggested several days ago that they
mignt appeal to tne federal courts for an
injunction.
Texas Commission
To Contest Orders.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN Texas September 1. Prep
arationa for contesting the Texas rail
roads' Interpretation of the order of the
Interstate Commerce commission in the
Shreveport rate case to mean that the
railroads are permitted to adopt rates be
tween points wholly within Texas dif
ferent from those prescribed by the Texas
railroad commission are being made by
the members of the Texas-commission
and the attorney general's department.
It developed Friday that it Is probable
that If the railroads decide to use the
rates as a result of the sessions In the
Texas tariff bureau In this city the anti
trust laws of Texas will be Invoked.
Is known that Assistant Attorney General
Luther Nickels who has charge of rail
road matters coming before the attorney
general s department. Is considering this
particular question. 'When the railroads
put into effect the rates made under the
decision In the Shreveport case Mr.
Nickels it Is understood will be ready
to act.
As is well known the general freight
agents of the various Texas railroads
meet In the Texas tariff bureau at least
once a month. Discussion of freight mat
ters and rate making is said to be the
object of these meetings. The attorney
general s department is making an in-
vestigation for the purpose of ascertain-
ing whether or not these discussions and
conclusions as to what constitutes the
correct rate under the Shreveport de-
cision amount to an agreement prohib-
ited by the antitrust statutes of Texas.
If the department concludes that it does
amount to an agreement then a violation
or tne antitrust laws will be alleged.
Assistant Attorney General Nickels
stated that the antitrust laws of this State
prohibit agreements fixing rates or con-
trolling transportation. He referred to
article 7796 Hevised Civil Statutes which
aennes trusts caning attention to thi
third paragraph of the article which Dro
vides: "To prevent or lessen compelltion
in tne manuiacture making transports
tion sale or purchase of merchandlsp.
produce or commodities or the business of
insurance or to prevent or lessen com-
petlt.on in aid of commerce or in the
preparation of any product for market or
transportation.
1 he definition Includes "the cost of
transportation- in the fourth fifth and
sixth sections of the article.
As a result of the meetings of the traf-
fic heads in the Texas tariff bureau when
it was slated the order in the Shreveport
i-ase was oeing interpreted it is expected
mui mimu win oe niea wun tne Inter-
state commerce commission bv October 1
enecuve rvovemner.i. The same rates
win De usea on an of the Texas road.
It probably will be the contention of the
attorney general that such a result could
not nave Deen obtained without agree-
ments among the traffic heads.
RATE NOTICES NOT YET MAILED.
Increases May Be Used By Texas Lines
ior Time.
iHomton Post Sfecial.)
AT. STIN Texas August Jl. Although
the order of the Texas railroad commls
slon canceling all advance rates granted
the railroads becomes effective Friday
the Texas tariff bureau in this cltv has
not sent any notice to the railroads re-
garaing compliance with the order. At
tne ottrce of the bureau It was stated to
day that the rates could easily be made
mruaiuve. it waa explained that rfo no
tices had been sent out by the bureau
for the reason that the time given by the
commission was too short. Shippers who
oic iuri.ru iu use tne nigner rates during
the Interim will receive refunds from the
rmuroaas wnen tne old rates are restored

Associated Pre's Report.)
NEW YORK September 1. The ulti
mate consumer got a bitter foretaste of
railroad strike conditions trayn a sharp
advance in the prices of food. Dealers
attributed the raise to embargoes cn
perishable products put Into effect Thurs-
day night by several Eastern roads and
to prospects of a serious shortage of sup-
ply as soon as the strike was called.
At tne me; puonc markets nere garden
products advanced 10 per cent and dairy
produce had new high records. Butter
nt to 3o 1-4 cents a pound. 7 3-4 cents
above the quotation of last year at this
tune and the highest price In the last
5 years. The wholesale price of eKits
of the class most generally used reached
3o cents one cent higher than Wednes-
day and 10 cents above the price of a
year ago. I'oultry went from 18 to 26
cents a pound. Wholesale meat dealers
In Newark advanced prices half a cent
