CREAMERY MEN WIN BIG FIGHT INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMIS SION HOLDS RAILROAD RATES EXCE88IVE. Washington. D. C., Jan. 27.—The interstate commerce commission yes terday decided the cases of the Bea trice Creamery company and others vs. Illinois Central railroad and others, and several related cases, commonly known as the creamery cases. These cases are of the greatest importance to Iowa creamery interests and milk producers who. have followed them closely. The decisions were by Com missioner Prouty, and were in favor of the complainants. Several associations and represen tatives of the department of agri culture claimed that the local cream ery method of manufacturing butter should, in the interest of the public, be fostered and the centralizer meth od should be discouraged. The com mission, however, held that the cen tralizer'afTords to hundreds of thous ands of farmers the only satisfactory method of disposing of their milk and that the commission's plain duty Is to establish just transportation charges in so far as it can be done and allow these methods to operate under the charges. The commission held that The new 45 inch costume Skirt Specials f. 25c Ladies' Muslin Skirts with ruffle Our best 49c Skirts with Hem stitched ruffle and cluster 9 tucks: jyc Our 69c special Skirt with tuck and wide Embroidery A A for gual to 98C 1.48 1.48 Skirts, trimmed with 4 rows of Lace,12 tucks ..

The commission has several times held that where a particular industry has grown up under rates voluntarily established and maintained by car riers, these rates cannot be advanced without considering the effects upon that Industry. According to the com mission, there is no such thing as a contract between the railway and the shipper that a certain rate shall be charged, for the railway rate is a mat ter of public concern, which cannot ordinarily be matfe the subject of private contract but in determining what is the just and reasonable thing to be done, the commission must con sider the effect upon all parties. The railroads are authorized to make effective on three days' notice to the commission such rates as are required under the commission's order. "It seems plain that the duty of the commission is to establish just and fair transportation charges insofar as that can be done. The commission should not establish a scale of rates with a view and for the purpose of fostering or discouraging either form of this industry," said Judge Prouty. SELMA.
