IIADA AND U1iITED STATES
Railway Commission to Have Authority
an Both, Countries
A despatch;" from' Washington
says; As a aesult of eonforeuces
between Judge Martin A, NnaapP,,
Chairman of the Interstate Coom-
merco Commission, and the lion. J.
I', Mabee, chief of the Railway
Commission of Canada, an agree-
ment has been rtaehed to recom-
mend to the Governments of the
United States and Canada the one -
tion of an International Railroad
Commission; which shall have su-
pervision over the railway rates be-
tween the two countries,
r
Mr, Mabee arrived in Washing-
ton from Ottawa on Tuesday night
to discuss the details of an agree-
ment' ho had reached with Judge
Knapp last August, and on Wed-
nesday
: the two officials who were
designated by their'respeetive Gov-
ernments to consider the subject
and make a report upon it were
in conference.
No details of the report are yet
available, beyond the fact that it.
recommends the establishment of
the ;International Commission, up-
on which shall be conferred cer-
tain defined regulatory powers.
Whether the Commission is to be
created by treaty between the two
Governments or by joint legisla-
tion cannot be announced at this
time.
For a cansiderable period it has
been realized that the increasing
trufirc, both passenger and freight,,.
between the. United States and.,
Canada was likely to render eon-•
trol over rates iii the future diffi-
cult, unless some international ac-
tion were taken,
The acquisition by American,
railroads of Canadian terminals,
and by Canadian railroads of ,Am-
erican tvminalsand lilies present,
increasing difficulties, In the ex-
isting circumstances it is not pos-
sible, to compel` either railways or
express companies to establish
joint through routes and rates to
and from points in the two coun-
tries. In 'other words, neither an,
Ameriean nor a Canadian carrier
may be rekuired to furnish to a.
shipper through bill of lading to
any point in one country from any
point in the other.
The reasonableness of the inter-
national rates, whichordinarily aro
acombination of the rates local to•
each country, can be determined
only by a circuitous proceeding in-
stituted before the commissions of
both countries. No power at pre-
sent exists that can require car-
riers engaged in international
transportation to establish what
may be regarded officially as rea-
sonable through joint rates, and to
apportion . those rates among the
participating carriers in the event
of not reaching an agreement
among themselves.
