ALBERT FINK, THR TRUNK LINE COMMISSIONER, 4
WITNESS BEFORE THE LABOR COMMITTEE
NEW YORK, Sept l7.-Albert Fink, the commits
soner OF the Trunk lines, was the rst witness be-
fore the senate committee on labor and education.
He said that he had been educated In Germany as
civil engineer, but he had been engaged In rail-
road construction In this country for the last 81
the construction OF the Baltimore and Ohio
line: He was afterVards Chief engineer
In the construction OF several railroad lines
he built the Louisville and Nashville road at the
completion OF which he became its general mana.
ger and tse Its vice He
twenty years, until he was called to the position
which he now occupies, about six years ago. He
was now at the head OF bureau composed Of
about forty railroad companies, who have organic
ed for the purpose OF establishing and maintaining
UNIFORM TARIFF.
The extension OF the railroad lines In the United
states and the fierce competition between them,
made organized action a necessity to their ex-
istence: 1t would not do for each to operate and
to other roads. In order to improve connections
and better accommodate the public by establish.
ing uniform system OF rates, the Joint executive
management has been greatly complicated by the
immense INN increase in the number OF the roads:
Inc roads represented in the association OF
which the witness was the head, were
THE FIVE TRUNK LINES,
New; New YORK Central, New York. Lake Erie and
the the Grand Trunk line OF Canada, with all
their western connections. The latter are
roads running east and west The territory In
which all these roads are located is included be-
tween the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the
great lakes. Mr.. Fink also stated that there we're
two other associations west OF the Mississippi
river, one OF which included several large lines
running west from Chicago. as the Chicago and
northwestern, Chicago and Alton, Chicago and
Rock Island, and Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
The other association comprised roads west OF the
missouri. Both associations were under the con-
troll OF Mr.. j. Michelet
THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT ORGANIZING
any railroads was in the south in 1875 when wit
ness was manager OF the Louisville and Nashville.
AT That time there was a fierce competition be-
between the various east and west routes, and
the property OF the commercial interests OF the
country was endangered The system was estab-
iished on the same basis that at present prevails
In the north. The plan worked SO well that it was
adopted by all the latter associations AS a regu-
lalor OF railroad tariff the water routes by way
OF the great lakes and the Mississippi river were
very effectuaL At certain seasons OF the year the
canal routes were closed to traffic. and ii was pop
ulary supposed that the railroads then had 1t all
their own way: This was not true, and the idea
that roads could extOrt any tariff they pleased by
merely combining was false. There were many
other elements which would combine to prevent
such result

dence OF fraud or corruption, but alleges favor
itism to Bartlett, Robbins & Co., and George L.

been advertised for and proposals for plans for
heating apparatus asked, instead OF employing
an engineer.
It recommends that the office be changed to
something like the lighthouse board.
