TECHNICAL PHASE OF THE QUESTION


Washington, December 1.-The hearing
given by the United States interstate COM
merce commission to the representatives Of
the railroads who have petitioned for an
extension Of time In which to comply with
the car coupler law, was resumed today.
VIM. Brown. general solicitor Of the Chi
cago and Alton. replied at some length to
the protest made by Mr.. Gompers yester-
day against any extension to roads which
had made no effort to comply with the law.
He spoke. he said, for the holders OF the
railroad stock. who were entitled to receive
their dividends as the laborers were to
their daily wages. On behalf OF 300 of the
employees Of his road Mr.. Brown also pre-
scented to the commission a petition for an
extension. 1t was practical and physical
impossibility, he said, to comply with the
law To grant reasonable extension. would
bring every road, especially the trunk lines,
into active sympathy with the law; to re-
fuse would be to punish those who had
complied
Representatives Of other delinquent
roads rendered their excuses to the COM
mission and in each instance estimated the
time required for the full equipment Of
their individual lines All united, however,
In the request of MIR. Cowen for a general
fve-year extension. Lack OF funds, reduced
earnings. want of shop facilities and the
difficulty Of determining the safest and
most economical appliances were the main
reasons advanced by delinquent roads.
At the afternoon session President Smith
Of the Louisville and Nashville road in the
course OF his explanation for the delin-
quancy of his road expressed the opinion
that the time was coming when the peo-
pie OF this country would demand the con-
fscadon and government ownership Of
railroads. In connection with his argument
President Smith, in answer to questions
asked by the commissioners. developed the
fact that 10 per cent OF the freight cars now
in service are not worth equipping. The
bearing adjourned until tomorrow.
