When brought into court they have said:
I'VE refuse to testify or produce our books,
because the evidence would tend to Grim
mate ourselves"
without this evidence the government
has been unable to canvict. hence the in
terstate commerce act has been q dead let
ter and the committee little more than a
bureau of railway statistics The com
mittee has been able 10 report the mileage
of railways built each year and the num-
Der Of passengers killed. but whether a
small and helpless shipper was getting tho
same rates as the strong corporation it was
unable to know, and If II did know 1t was

So, for an practical purposes the inter

fed. Its vital object, to protect the weak
shippers ard ipsure absolutely horost, open

Possibly the most daring disobedlenco OF
THIS law was the organization last fall OF
the Joint Traffic association. comprising
al the railroads between The East ami the
West. owlang and operating over 1000
miles Of railroad, capitalized AT nearly ona
thousand million dollars.
The men who organized this giant pool
had the temerity TO say IN the FIRST breath
OF their formal agreement that they had
organized ITO aid in fulhlling the purposes
of the interstate commerce act" when, In

the United States courts of New York to
dissolve this association, and Attorney
General Harmon has been waiting SIX
voeks cor the Brown case to be decided
that he might know whether tho law was
to live or die.
William H. Morrison. chairman of the
commission, has said In Its reports and in
recent commandment ton to congress that tie

one OF the curses OF inc railroad business

When Brown was called before the grand
jury In Pittsburg, the question asked him
was this:
