THE AMERICAN LINES
CHARGED WITH BLAME,
McNicoll, OF the Canadian, Says They
Are Responsible for the
Rate WarA

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Passenger Traffic
Manager McNicoll, OF the Canadian Pacific
railway, concluded his direct Statement. be-
fore the interstate commerce commission
today in regard to the rate war between
the Canadian Pacific railway and the
American lines. Mr.. McNicoli in his
closing remarks. told Of his efforts to re-
Store peace with the American companies
and how his Efforts were thwarted by the
refusal OF the companies to discuss the
question Of differentta!s. He insisted that
the American lines had refused to accep.
suggestions. and had said that the Cana
dian Pacific must agree to all their terms.
Mr.. Eustis, general passenger agent Of
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy road,
he said, had told them that there would
be legislation against the Canadian Pa
ciic and that congress would have legis-
lated last session, II the subject had not
been overshadowed by the Cuban crisis.
Mr.. McNicoll said he did not take much
notice OF these remarks. as Mr.. Eustis did
not represent the American people.
He denied that the interstate traffic enc
joyed by the Canadian Pacific amounted 10
$50 coo 600. While there were no statistics
for passenger traffic, the freight traffic
amounted only to 81, 800. 900 year. On the
other hand the Canadian Pacific had
bought supplies from the United States to
the amount Of IS, 0O0, 600 annually.
The feature or the afternoon session was
supplied by Vice President Clough, of the
Great Northern, who presented the polit-
ical and economic side OF the controversy
TO the committee. In beginning his address
he said it would be the duty OF the COM
mission to make recommendations to con-
cress in order that legislation with regard
TO railways could be altered. He said that
the Canadian Pacific railroad had tapped
all important traffic centers in the United
States, and Its policy was to haul freight
from one American point TO another at
rates which the American lines refused to
accept. He contended that the exceptional
circumstances Of the case called for ex-
ceptional legislation. The statistics of the
customs department showed, he said, that
the freight traffic diverted to the Canadian
Pacific amounted to nearly or quite TO-
10000 tons every year, and represented a
loss o. earnings TO the American roads of
not less than SO, zoo zoe to $25. 600, 900 every
twelve months. Every time the foreign
road diverted from the American lines
2l.o 600 tons Of traffic. Mr. Clough con-
tended il took sl4,N0"Do directly out of
the pockets of the American workingman.
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.
