The piece argues the Interstate Commerce Commission did not grant the full 15 percent freight rate rise. It notes differing regional earnings, the need for capital to expand facilities, and that Eastern roads would gain about 8 percent while Southern and Western roads receive smaller boosts. It cites Commissioner Harlan calling for broader policy and expects potential fall revisits if needed.

No Third Regiment of Artillery For Massachusetts
Colonel John Sherburne states Massachusetts will not form a third field artillery regiment due to objections from Governor McCall and Acting Adjutant General Sweetser who fear it would impede infantry enlistments. About 600 men are enrolled and 1290 more are needed for war strength. He argues every infantry regiment in France should have strong artillery support, indicating a deficiency in the state's total fighting force.
