WASHINGTON, Nov 22. (r)—A re.
vised basis for the division of Joint
rates and fares on traffic- inter-
changed between the "Kansas City,
Mexico &. Orient Railroad Company
and the Kansas City, Mexico & Ori-
-ent Railway Company of Texas and
their connections was recommended
to the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission today in * tentative report
by the commission’s bureau of fh-
nance “
The recommendation was that the
equitable division of joint rates ac-
cruing to the Orient since Septem-
ber 15, 3522, on traffic originating
on Its lines should not be less than
the present basis, plus a specified
percentage varying for various Im-
mediate connecting lines This ays.
tern also wae recommended for the
future .,
It was recommended that these
bases should prevail except in cases
where ths division accruing to the
Orient is greater than that to its
connections in which case the Ori-
ent should receive divisions not less
than those at present, plus the same
specified' percentages accruing to
its connections
On traffic for which the Orient Is
an immediate carrier, the added
percentages would be one-half of
those prescribed _ ™
to The percentages recommended for
the Orient's various connections
were as follows: ------
Percentages Decemmended
The Abilene A Southern 10 per
cent; Santa Fe, 16 per cent; Rock
Island, 14 per cent; Fort Worth &
Denver, 20; Galveston, Harrisburg
& San Antonio, 16: Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe, 20: Midland Valley, 14;
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, of Tex-
as. 14; Missouri Pacific, 14: St. Louis
Ban Francisco, 14, and Texas & Pa-
cific, 14 per cent
Records, the bureau reported, do
not support the conclusion that the
divisions of interstate joint freight
rates on traffic interchanged with
the Clinton and Oklahoma or the
Wichita Falls & Northwestern have
been or will be unjust, unreasonable
or inequitable. The examiner ree-
ommended that if any of the pre-
scribed divisions operate unjustly
the situation may he called to the
attention of the commission.
Today's action is the result; of
the commission's reopening of the
case after the supreme court had
sustained court action against Ihs
commission’s original decision on
the joint rates.
Under the original decision the
sow rate division basis was to be-
come effective September 15. 1922.
but enforcement, of the -order was
temporarily enjoined end upon trial
the injunction waa made perma-
nent.
The rehearing of the case began
on July 20. Evidence waa submitted
by the Orient to show that II has
constantly operated at a great def-
icit. It contended that it. was en-
titled to a proportionately greater
share In the division of joint rates
because of the proportionately
greater cost td the road of hand-
ling the interchanged traffic.
