TURN DOWN PLAN TO RAISE GRAIN STORAGE CHARGE interstate Commerce Commis sion Disapproves Proposals of Railroads Washington, D. C„ Jan. 19.—The Interstate Commerce Commission to day disapproved proposals by railroads to double and quadruple storage charges on export Krain at elevators at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Newport News and other At lantic ports where such grain is held longer than sixty days. New charges for the storage of ex port grain in cars awaiting unloading at Baltimore and Philadelphia also were disapproved. The proposals, made by the trunk line railroads, were designed as a jneaaure to relieve congestion at At lantic ports and to insure, through enforcement of penalties, a freer flow FRIDAY EVENING. of grain through the elevators. They were opposed by the Baltimore Cham ber of Commerce, the Commercial Ex change of Philadelphia and other simi lar organizations. A considerable pro portion of the millions of bushels of grain shipped to Atlantic ports for ex port to the warring nations of Europe would have been affected. Elevators Choked Another intention of the railroads was to prevent the premature ship ment of grain to the seaboard without export contracts or prior to making arrangements for its ocean transpor tation. The scarcity of ships is said to have resulted in choking the ele vators with grain which could not be moved without long delay. A large number of cars also have been withdrawn from traffic because of the congestion at the elevators, augmenting the general car shortage and tending indirectly to increase the cost of living. in its decision the commisison holds that the objects sought by the rail roads should be attained by other methods than the one proposed, which would place heavy penalties upon the t rattic. Must Correct Misuse "We are of the opinion," reads the decision, "that the carriers should study the situation in all its aspects and that they can and should devise methods to correct the misuse of their equipment and facilities which would have the full sanction of the commis sion. "It has not been shown that the proposed charges will accomplish the i end they seek, nor will they be free from unjust discrimination. The pos sibility of abuse leads to abuse and the present chaotic conditions of the car riers' terminals, of their tracks and facilities make it imperative that cor rective measures should be carefulh studied and analyzed and established and enforced rigidly to the end that the equal treatment of all which the law requires should not be easily capable of being frittered away in the hands of those who take advantage of the least loophole to escape the obli gations which should rest upon all. While abnormal conditions require drastic remedies, the cure must be one which is lawfully permissible." The proposed increases in storatce charges varied slightly at different ports. At Philadelphia. Baltimore and Boston they provided for an increase, of 100 per cent., or from % to % of H cent a bushel for each five-day period after sixty days, and for an increuse of 300 per cent., or % cent per bushel, for each five-day period after 120 days. The elevators affected have a capacity I of approximately 16,000,000 bushels. | |N. J. Penal Conditions to Be Probed by Judge j Trenton, N.
