WORKMEN APPEALS FROM GRANT OF INTERIM INJUNCTION, Toronto, Dec.2.\u2014Judgment was reserved by the Divisional Court to.day in the appeal of the Ancient Order of United Workmen from the order of Justice Riddell granting an interim injunction restraining the order from putting into force a revised schedule of rates.Urging a speedy settlement of the issue, F.B.Johnston, K.C., who appeared for the lodge, stated that this was imperative, as the organization was approaching bankruptcy.Tt was finally agreed that the appeal take the form of a motion for judgment, providing that no matter other than filed before Justice Riddell at the first hearing was introduced.EDISON NOT INVENTOR OF \u201cMOVIES\u201d FILMS.Washington, Dec.2\u2014Thomas A, Edison was held to not have been the inventor of the moving picture film by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia today, which reversed a decision of a lower court granting an | injunction and damages to Edisnn'e assignees against a film company of Chicago.The court held that moving picture film was neither discovered nor produced by Edison, but by a manufacturer of photographic supplies, and that Edison's work in the development of motion pictures lies volely in the camera apparatus.Eight newspaper men and their! wives, who went to Bermuda with ! President-elect Wilson, wrecked on coral reef in small boat and rescued by launch from British cruiser Cromwell.\u201cJOHNNIE THE STANDARD SCOTCH WHISKY WALKER\" The Quebe RUSSIAN WANTS IN MONGOLIA PROBABLE TERMS OF SETTLEMENT ARE ON BASIS BUIT- ABLE TO CHINESE HONOR.London, Dec.3\u2014The Daily Telegraph\u2019; Peking correspondent, in a despatch printed this morning.details the probable Russian demands for the settlement of the Mongolian question on 8 basis suitable to Chinese honor as follows: \u201cRussia is determined to obtain railway connection with her Siberian line not only at Urga but in the western Mongolia administrative centres of Kobdo and Uliassutai; the right to station permanent garrisons in these places; free mining rights and a general rectification of the frontier of the Hei Lung Chiang province of Manchuria in order to include certain disputed districts within Transbaikailia.\u201cIt is hinted that these demands are not complete.Mcanwhile the Chinese War Ministry purposes to distribute thirty-four battalions of infantry among the twenty-four post stations between Urga and Kalgan as a first step toward the resumption of Chinese control.\u201cThe whole position, however, is extraordinarily vague and disconcerting on account of general reports that the elections in China will be postponed for half a year, which will leave the present provisional government in existence during the summer of 1913.Such course of action is deplorable in every way, since it is a virtual confession of the failure of the policy of consolidation.\u201d

Petition of Raise is Ouly Until March 31, A reduction of #we-thirds in the protested C.P.R.for switching and shunting frei, rs to and from the car ferry is ordgfed by the Board of Railway Co rs of Canada, to become effective @ The new rates will be ! cent per hundred pounds, th a minimum charge of $3 a car 49 or from private sidings, and one and.a half cents per hundred pounds, with à minimum charge of $5, to or public tharcks The protested rate was three cents per hundred pounds, SUBJECT rélmqurr.The order is madé \u201cwithout prejudice to the pending inquiry into inter- switching services and tolls generally, and subject to any order that may be made in that inquiry.\u201d Quebec business interests, led by the Board of Trade, haÿtbeen fighting the high rate for three years before the Railway Commission, and while the reduction ordered is material, and will be a great help to Quebec interests, it is nof- wholly satisfactory.President E.T.Nesbitt of the Quebec branch 6f the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association said last night that the order should be made retroactive, and critigized especialiy the due set for jo intone December 9, whew the car ferry is like ly to discotinue its\u2019 service, so that the actus! date when the new rate will go into effect is really at the opening of navigation next spring.After Three Year Fight.The manufacturers and merchants of Quebec have for some three years past been complaining of the high charges they have had to pay to the C.P.R.for the shunting of cars consigned to their firms from the Point- a-Carcy ferry landing to their place of business, which they have contended not only eat up their profits, but made it impossible for them to compete with dealers, especially in the lumber trade, who received their stock over the C.P.R.The matter was taken up by the Board of Trade nearly three years ago, and after continual appeals for the interference of the Canadian Board of Railway Commissioners, have at last achieved a result that goes to show the usefulness of the Quebec Board of Trade.The petition of the Quebec Board of Trade and several of the Quebec merchants to the Railway Commission were against the C.P.R.for exorbitant charges for switching car loads originating or destined to points on the Grand Trunk, Quebec Central and Intercolonial Railways, between the ferry dock and tracks and sidings in the city of Quebec.C.P.R.Resisted Change.The case was argued before the: Railway Commission, and the C, P.Rcontended that the question of inter- switching couid not he entertained, from the fact that the Quebce car ferry service was a separate independent company, with no connection he- tween railways, and consequently did not come within the meaning of the term \u201cinterswitching.over which the Railway Commission had jurisdiction A decision was reserved and in the meantime the merchants were obliged to pay the high charges of 3 cents per hundred weight, or $18 for a rar- load weighing 60.000 pounds, and $12 for a car with 40.000 pounds, which was a great drawback to Quebec interests.The order from the Railway Commission has been finally turned down, and reduces the damage by two- thirds, and now instead of the Quebec merchant being obliged to pay $18 for 6.000 pounds of freight, he is only called on to pay $6.and instead of $12 for 40,000 pounds, $4, which is a great gain, though the Quebec mer- | chants still contend it is a higher rate than the charges imposed at Montreal, Text of the Order.The following are the particulars of the order signed by Messrs, D'Arcy Scott, Assistant Chief Commissioner, B.J.McLean and A.8.Goodere, Commissioners :\u2014 \u201cWhen reaching the applications and what has been submitted in aup- port thereof, the answers of the Railway Companies

AMENDMENT 18 EXPECTED TO-DAY.(Special to Chronicle.) Ottawa, Dec.2\u2014The debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne has now entered upon its second week and, though there have been reports in plenty that it will be over by Wednesday, there is no cer- winty of this.Both sides have plenty of speakers ready and willing to go on, and the Government has as yet! shown no disposition to curb the flood | of oratory by letting the Opposition | go it alone and wear itself out.It; was freely stated to-night, however, that an all-night sitting mighe be tried out on Tuesday night and the Opposition be sllowed to go ahead to its heart's content.VARIOUS AMENDMENTS, The debate on the Address is made up of ali the speeches on all the amendments that may be offered.An agreement is said to exist for a vote on the first amendment, that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to.morrow.The Mondou amendment follows and, if vot withdrawn, it would be on the program fcr to-morrow night.The further length of the debate will depend upon the amendment or amendments that follow and the speeches are made thereon.The speakers to-day were Messrs.Bradbury Selkirk), Neely (Humboldt) and MacLean (North York), Sinclair (Guysboro, Munson (West Northumberland) and Demers, The first two of these speakers rediscussed all the Western question.that have occupied attention for a week past, neither of them adding anything substantially new.Mr.Neely emphasized the intention of the Opposition to adhere to a policy of wider markets and freer trade.\u201cWhile this particular agree- (Reciprocity) is dead,\u201d he said, \u201cthe principle underlying it will never die.If the Government believes that the Liberal party intends to bury the priecipia.of wider markets, then the Goverpinerd 4a Fiving in à faire pécuf, ity.\u201d : : Mr.MacLean brought forward one or two new topics to revive a somewhat jaded House.\u2018To an audience of senators in the galleries above he suggested 1917, the semi-centennial of Confederation, as a good time to consummate Senate reform and suggested that it be done by the Commons rather than by petition to the British House.Favors Immediate Gift.His naval views he expressed as favoring an immediate griit.a Canadwu navy later, and a closer alliance between Canada and the Motherland, looking to Imperial unity in Tmperial defence and with Canada having a proportionate share in determining ibe policy of the Empire.Te gave the Nationalist party a little advice as well.Including the leader (Bourassa) they made the mistake of wanting the whole future relations cf Canada and Britain worked out for them beforehand.This, he pointed out, was in disagreement with the epirit of British methods of government which left much to the loyalty of the people rather than to settled agreements hetween the parties.Sea power he held to be the secret of Britain's power and Canade, he said, must be prepared to build ships, man ships and fight in them.The Liberals applauded this but changed their applause to shouts of \u201cNo, no,\u201d when he added that he also fuvored a compulsory naval service.Sir Rodolphe Forget moved the adjournment, At the opening of the House Hon.Mr.Lemieux complained that an American company was sending through the mail at Montreal a large number of letters asking Montrealers to buy stock in a company manufacturing a railway appliance.In the United States it had heen shown that this stock was a fraud.Hon.Mr.Pelletier said that his department had already begun proceedings to stop the matter complained of.Hon, George Graham asked if the report was true that the steel on the N.T, R.between Seperior Junction tnd Cochrane would not be completed before next autumn, He was informed that it would ba finished hefore this Christmas.Sir Rodolphe Forget will speak tomorrow and answer the charges that have been preferred against him in connection with the Richelieu by-elec- tion.ISOLATE TUBERCULOSIS CASES IN MONTREAL.Montreal, Dec.2\u2014There is à

SUPREME COURT FORBIDS RAILROAD TO ACQUIRE STOCK CONTROL OF COMPETING LINE, Washington, Dec.2\u2014The great Harriman merger, created when the Union Pacific Railroad Co.bought 46 per cant of the stock of the Souther Pacific Railway system was split asunder to-day by the Supreme Court of the United States as a violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, Then, with the end of the merger before it, the court sent forth its portentows declaration that \u201cwhile the law may not be able to enforce competition, it can reach combinations which rendes competition impracticable.\u201d COURT IS UNANIMOUS Justice Day announced the unanimous opinion of the court.Justice Van Devanter took nu part in the consid, eration of the case to-day, but his principal finding when he was a judge of the Utah Circuit Court, to the effect that the two roads were not was reverse: Instead of following the reasoning of Justice Van Devanter and Judges Sanborn and Adams, the court in sub stance approved the minority holding of Judge Hook that the roads were competitors and it was just as much 2 violation of the law for one road to buy the controlling stock of a competitor as it was for a holding company, as in the Northern Securities case, to buy the controlling stock of two competing companies.As the Northern Securities plan failed nearly ten years ago, so the Harriman plan fell to-day.It is the gemeral belief here that the application of the decision to the railroad situation of the country will be widespread, placing a powerful precedent in the hands of the attorney general to prevent the consolidation of competing roads.: - GENERAL ELECTION THREE YEARS OFF MINISTER OF JUSTICE GIVES HIS OPINION, THINKS EMERGENCY POLICY WILL NOT BE OPPOSED.Montreal, Dec.2\u2014That there wild be no

Hamilton relative to the ferry vérvien between Quidee and Levis since the new ferry company etarted business has already found.many a sym- Péthetie echo among Quebecers who have bad reason to complain of the annoyatices to which he takes objec- Tu hève né iftention of \u201cboosting\u201d the old company which was arbitrary enough to forfeit the goodwill of shot anyose.As a matter of fact we consider that it fa simply a case of bul of the frying pan into the fire.fe might be thosght pertinent to inquire what are the terms of the contract between the city and the new | ferry company.But from our experience of the manner im which that contract has been observed, or rather ignored, when it was a matter of the specifications of the Boats, it would apparently be useless as, if all contracts re interpreted in the same way, then there would be very lite sense in signing contracts al ail.It if obvious, however, that the pusseng-rs who ar ve ot Levis at night are more in reed of a ferry service po anyone: Tt should, therefore, he stipulated.if pos- ale, that thé ferry boats should: make connection with @eery train on the south shore, no matter at what hour # arrives.oo : + Arrangements should also be made that passengers, wherever it de feasible, should be able to reach Quebec Dofore the car strvoce stops running at night.A POPULAR PROMISE.Mayor Drouin struck a popular note: at the banquet the Quebec branch of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 tion banques thé other evening when he referred to tha high prices which th people of Quebec are com- geiled to pay for as: © That the city fathevs.are fully seized of the import.mee of this question and are determined to study means @at may make for the betterment of the present con- dtions was plainly intimated by the Mayor when he sed that if relief were not forthcoming in the near re there was every probability that another Qompeny would de in the field to provide a healthy competition.© Recent developments in the City of Quebec evidently Segue an awakening on the part of all concerned to the epportunities which the city of Champ'ain presents for the expansion of trade and commerce.One of the most striking manifestations of the change in spirit has been fantieéable la the efforts to provide for the best of trans.p facilities, whether it be 3 matter of the termin- GA, the hardor improvement or the ganeral needs of the Ss.Lawrence.© These efforts are already bearing tangible results \"gad, with the Federal Government being disposed to give his olty that generous Bid which has long been due her

Quebec in the past, shore it avery reason te Believe that the lean years of tbe pest are to be succeeded by an era of commercial and foguatrial progress and prosperity that will benefit all gitizens of the city and district.TIME TO ACT.When Mr.Archies Cook, one of the mast prominent $iberals in Quebec, speaking at St.Andrew's banquet the other evening, said that Cenada would not be outdune Op the Malay States and India in rallying to the support of the Empire, he undoulitedly awoke a responsive chord fe the heart of many another Liberal who is more than dired with the churlish and ui.grateful Atititude of Messrs.Laurier, Lemieux, Bowrassa and Company, who prefer that we should continue to sponge on the British nation, without any recognition of the benefits which we derive frcm the British connection.* §f these men had only the coufaye to come out and advoeate séparation which is the only attitude consistent with thelr anti.fritish sentiments, then we might be able to infer that their convictions had anme semblance of sincerity about them, however much we might disagree with the trend of such ideas.But no.Thanks tn the take-ali and give nothing views of the abuve-mentioned clement

OF YDR.\u2018The convietion of Charles Hyde, the Canadian tried for bribery ia Now Yeory city, ome où à strange climan - 4 » sorhage caroér.When Gaynor was dlected Mayor of New York in 1900 fs was generally considered tnt Hyde was the ?sou bukied the sheens.Ma wat à sort of protege of ' .f Ÿ 4 \u201cGagnor, having bees à clerk in his ofice and afterwards his political confidante.Hence thers was but little surprise when the young man was appointed to the position of City Chamberlain.When the Carnegie Trust Company collapsed it was found that a considerable amount of city money had been carried by the concern.Hyde was absent at thé time and his failure to return for a period occasioned much unfavorable comment which finglly assumed the dimensions of a scandal.After his return Mayor Gaynor remained still faithful to his friend snd thus made what is proved by the after events to be a serious error.Finally, to relieve the embassasment, Hyde resigned.There were several interesting features in the pro-\u2019 secution of Hyde.The specific charge upon which he was indicted was the sbuse of his power to coerce Robin, the manager of the sitice wrecked Northern Bank to'advance $130,000 of the bank's funds to the distressed Carnegie Company under threat that he, ie.Hyde, would withdraw the Northern Bauk's share of the city\u2019s deposit.Hyde was personplly hand in glove with Cummins, a \u2018dating Operator, who hus since been convicted of crim inal misuse of the Carnegie Company's resources, and | Hyde's alleged motive ih hits compulsion of Robins was to.protect his friend.In his charge to the jury Justice Goff held that bribery is.none the less criminal whea it de committed in the interests of another than the perpetrator.Hyde seems to have received an impartial trial and the evidence of his guilt seems to have Leen decisive.1t is a remarkable degradation that has befallen a man who a year Or two ago was one of the most infiuent ç.l figures in the American metropolis.THE QUEBEC BANK.In another column wiil Le found the report of the ninety-fifth annual meeting of the shareholders of the Quebec Bank which was held yesterday in the banking house in this city, It is gratifying {or the shareholders of this Important financial institution to notice the number of new bratches recently opened in the West.This proves conclusively that the management is fully alive to the phenomenal expansion so characteristic of the develapment of the ; Draitie provinces aud that it is determined to share in this ever-increasing prosperity.The report shows that the operations and interests of the bank are steadily growing and widening all through 'the country.The directors therefore deem it advisable to increase the capital stock to cope with this extra volume of business and this will be done ip the near future.It will be a source of satisfaction for the citirens of Quebec to note the fact that this bank which bears the name of their city not only continues through a wise and practical administration to maintain its pusition of prestige among the leading institutions of a similar nature generally.LIBERALS DISGUSTED.The Huron Expositor, a Liberal paper controlled by the ex-Liberal member for South Huron, one of the oldest Liberal politicians in Ontario, makes u bitter attack on Sir George Ross, who has been chosen to lead the Opposition in the Senate.This is what the Expositor has to say:\u2014 \u201cIt is not surprising that the Conservative party should gloat over the action of the Liberal senators.The Senate has done some queer things in the past, but that ancient relic has never done a stranger thing than was done by the Liberal members of the Senate when they selected Sit George Ross as their leader and chief spokesman.It was Sir George Ross and Sir John Gibson who wrecked the Liberal party in Ontario and gave Sir James Whitney his opportunity.It was the speeches and writings of Sir George Ross as much as any other one thing that defeated the Liberal party in September.1911, and unless he is gagged and manacled he will keep Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his followers in the cool shades of Opposition so long as he occupies his present position.It is an awfully long step downwards from Sir Richard Cartwright.the late Liberal leader in the Senate, to Sir George Ross, the present leader.Sir Richard was a statesman, a patriot, and a true man.Sir George Ross is gilted heyond the majority of his fellows.As a versatile publis speaker he has few superiors, and he is possessed of an enviable share of patient persistency.especially in his own interests.more than a statesman.\u201d Comment of The Press A total of 149 desertions from the Canadian navy, out of but 349 enrolled is far from creditable and shows a deeper reason than the brief assertion \u2018that they \u201cgot tired and quit.\u201d Whatever value it contains, it will doubtless serve in part, as a medium for an investigation that is evidently badly needed to learn the true cause and apply a remedy.\u2014liamilton Spectator.Hearken to Hon.Dr.Pugaley declare that he is prepared to stand up for reciprocity.Likewise Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hugh Guthrie, M.Pand sundry other parliamentarians in Opposition.It is unnecessary to add that Hon W.S.Fiuding, Hon, W.L.M.King, Hon.Sydney Fisher, Hon.William Paterson, and Hon.Willism Templeman are also standing up for recipracity.These exiles from office will be standing a long time, reciprocity having robbed them of their seats, and left them with nothing to sit down on.\u2014Tor- onto Telegram.When the United States government deparfmeut: undertake to purge the country of any particular class of offenders against the public good they usually perform an effective

last night after his trip to Ottawa, where he succeeded in signing up Tommy Smith, of last year» Moncton team, and also in inducing Bruce SStuart, the famous former Ottawa captain, to handle the Quebec players during the coming season.It is also possible that Stuart might turn out on the -ice at a pinch.Quinn was in Ottawa on Saturday and after a long discussion with Stuart, the matter was closed up.Stuart, who is engaged in an extensive boot and shoe business in the Capital, is now endeavoring to make arrangements so that he can spend the winter in the Capital.Stuart played with the Quebecs several years ago and it was at that point he left Canada to break into the International League.He successfully piloted the famous Houghton team to the championship in 1906 and brought out such stars as Fred Taylor, Fred Lake, Barney Holden.He came to Ottawa in 1908 and won the C.H.L.title, after the Ottawas had had a three.year slump.He is rated as one of the craftiest men playing hockey and is very popular with Quebec fans.As already reported in the Chronicle the Quebec manager bas deen negotiating with Hamby Shore, of the Ottawas, to come to Quebec and the latter is reported to be quite willing if Ottawa will let him.Didier Pitre, whom the Canadiens turned over to Quebec.accompanied Manager Quinn to Ottawa, while Ernie Johnston also landed there on Saturday afternoon on his way to the Coast.Before Johnson left he and the Quebec manager had a long talk, and it was afterwards reported that Johnston had been offered a big sum to remain in the East and play for Quebec.On Saturday the Quebee pair went in search of some of the Ottawa amateurs, but failed to make connections.Quinn had a confab with Manager Jack Ryan, of the New Edinburghs, with a view to getting Eddie Gerard.Ryan assured the Quebec man that there was no chance of signing up Eddie, no matter what the figure.They also talked of interviewing Jack Fournier dut could not get in touch with him.Manager Quinn is not a bit worried over the loss of the three men who went West.\u201cProdger was the only man I was serry to see go.We can replace the lothers easily and we didn't lose much by their action in jumpirg their contracts.\u201d he said while :n Ottaws.With a defence man the Quebec team is just rounded out.\u201cWe intend to get another defence man and he will be one of the best of them.\u201d predicts Quinn.\u201cTt will he à surprise to hockey fans when they.hear his name.\u201d Manager Quinn declared that Quebec had lots of money and were out to get a champion team no matter what the cost.ENGLAND TO SEND £000 POLO TEAM MATCHES FOR AMERICA CUP WILL TAKE PLACE IN EARLY SUMMER \u2014 PLAYERS ARE SELECTED.London, Dec.2\u2014Great interest has been aroused here by the

the Maritime Provinces, where he is booked to meet Cameron at Amherst.This is the first time that Hans has been here since 1909, when he was in the garrison.; Holmer is in perfect health and appeared

of the different successes which he has met with in England, Scotland, France and Norway.He is confident that he will defeat Cameron, although the course on which the race will be run is small and

CHAMPION, Chicago.Dec.2\u2014lt will be all of six months, but most likely a year before Ad Wolgast and Willie Ritchie come together again in a title contest.This much was made certain to.day when Billy Nolan, managér of the the new champion, sent a lengthy wire to the sporting editor of the Chicago Americar: in response to several questions sent to him.Nolan, a veteran handler of fighters, and one of the shrewdest in the business, knows and appreciates the worth of the championship, and openly declares he is going to get the spoils for his fighter that go to the victor.In other words, he is going to get the easy money for Ritchie.Easy money, as Nolan means it, ig in theatrical work, and already hundreds of offers are in his hands.So eager is the theatrical world to bring the new star

weight, 133 pounds ringside, with such ease he would not raise the limit; that all contestants for title honors must make that notch, But after a consultation with Nolan it was agreed that if some likely lightweight who can command a big purse cannot do better than 133 pounds th.ee or five hours before ring time, this weight would be accepted, 60 CN THE STAGE| has closed with Ritchie to appear

New York.Dec.2\u2014The Supreme Court's decision in the Harriman merger case upset the stock market today after a listless morning session.The announcement from Washington was followed by an outburst of selling with Union Pacific as the especial objeet of attack, There were large sales of Southern Pacific as well, and virtually all of the favorite stocks, including industrials as well as railroads, shared in the movement.Union Pacific broke 244 points, Southern Pacific 2 and Reading, Steel, Amalganated and other prominent shares a lesser amount, The market met with prompt support at the lower level, and prices quickly rallied.The decision was unexpected to many persons, and the first impulse was to sell.but on second thought there was a decided change in sentiment.Losses were largely made up, and the Harriman issues scored their best figures for the day.Uniom Pacific preferred was bought heavily, and at one tinte showed a goin of 614 points.The upward movement was attribx uted to speculative buying on the theory that the courts\u2019 ruling would necessitate a distribution of Union Pacific\u2019's holdings of Southern Pacific.Some of the Harriman bond issues also advanced in the helief that their retirement might be made necessary as a part of the adjustment which must now he made.Southern Pacific collateral 4s at one period registered a gain of 6% points, and Oregon Short Line 4s of 3 points.The court's decision, however, opened up so many possibilities for speculation as to the effects of the readjustment that the trading clement was confused and maovemecnts of securities were erratic.Hefore the close the market became heavy again.NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.Quotations on the New York Stock Exchange as reported through Bruneau & Dupuis, by Chailes Head & Co.Open.High.Low.Close.Amal Cop .BSH 854 R3% 84 Atchison .102% 107% 107% 107% Am Car Fdy., 59% 59% So 594 Am Loco.46% 46% 46% 464 Am S & Ref.79% 79% 784;

Mr.Nesbist, said:\u2014 \u201cThe Quebec Board of Trade has time and again petitioned the Railway Commission on the matter of the bigh rates charged by the C.P.Rfor shunting freight cars in thimcity, and should have had a decision long before this, especially as the order is now handed down with the proviso \u201cpending inquiry.\u201d \u201cAnother thing to be considered is the fact that the order will not come into effect until December 9, when the car ferry is likely to discontinue its service until the opening of navi- gulion next spring.Consequently the order practically does not come into foïce until next year.\u201cFaking into consideration the fact that the question has been before the Railway Commission for more than two years, and that the Quebec merchants, through the Board of Trade, have from time to time insisted upon a decision, the order should have been made retroactive.\u201cFurthermore, the merchants of Quebec are now taking steps to ask the Commission to render a decision that will provide for a flat rate of $2.50 per car, the same as exists at Montreal, and we do not see any reason why we are not entitled to the same treatment, and we will insist upon it.INCREASE DEMURRAGE.Railway Commission Grants Petition of Roads and Authorize Charge of 2 and $3 a Day Instead of $1.Ottawa, Dec.2\u2014The Dominion Railway Commission this afternoon jasued an order, pronounced by H.L.Drayton, chairman, granting the application of the Canarian Pacific Railway, Grand Trunk Railway, Canadtan Northrn Railway and Michiaan Central Railroad to increase their de.murrage charges mn freight cars from $1 per day to $2 and $3.The increased rates, however, will he al- towed only from Dec.15 of this year to March 31 of next, after which the old charge of $1 a day will be restored.The railways asked for $2.$3 and &4 for the first, second and third day, respectively, after the free time allowed, but the $4 charge was not sanction:d by the hoard.Henceforth $2 will be assessed by the railways for the first 24 hours after free time and $3 for each succeeding day.The order, however.is not to apply to cars held in transit at stop-over points under puhlishel tariffs which have been filed with the board.Car 8hortage Imminent.\u201cTt cannot be denied that a car shortage equal to, if not greater than, that of last year is imminent: and, unless some steps are teken to secure an adequate supply of cars, traffic will be seriously handicapped during the approaching winter and spring, until the opening of navigation.Evidence was submitted to the hoard hy the applicants, showing an unreasonable detention of a large number of cars at many of the principal traffic centres of the country.\u201cIt is urged by the railway companies that the unnecessary detention of cars by shippers and consignees, not only handicaps the railway companies by depriving them of cars which would otherwise be available for traffic, but also- causes congestion by blocking team tracks and private sidings in terminals.It is also contended that at least 50 per cent of what is called railway detentions, that is, the unnecessary holding of cars in terminals by the railway
