ease. although the commission, or
rather Secretary Edgerton, the lawyer
of the board of secretaries, pronounced
the inquiries that brought ont the
testimony for the complaint.
The railways were represented by a
big squad of attorneys. A number Of
witnesses were examined relative To
the rates for stock. II appeared from
the testimony that under the old sche-
dule shippers used to pack the cattle
into the cars as tightly as the safety Of
the cattle would permit, "a the cost
was the same for a packed car as for
one that was not SO we'll filled. Now
the railroad companies provide u mini
mum charge for the car, and IL the
load runs over a specified weight ac-
cording to the length of the car, there
is a charge of so much "a hundred for
all overthe minimum. Shippers there
fore now only seek to be certain hat
they get enough cattle into a car to
reach the minimum. 1t is claimed that
under the new schedule OF rates
the cost is 50 per cen greater than
1t was under the old. The railroads
deny this.
