Rucker has returned from ST. Louis, where
he conferred with a number of leading sill
yer men of the country concerning the

ed, as ii is necessary to consult with 9TH

He found many Democrats in sympathy
with the idea, but Mr.. Bryan is yet to be
heard from

men who came to ST. Louis to talk over

If Interstate Commerce Decision Is
for the Roads

The outcome of the testimony taken by
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
its hearing of the protest. offered by COM
made by transportation lines between east

with a great deal of interest
Not only the sections in which the adj
vances have been made. but others win
be on the watch for developments, for 1t
is more than probable that other sections

the attorney general to whom the evidence
has been submitted by the commission. in
favor of the railroads. 1t is not improb-

of rates in all states where there are no

that there is a strong disposition on the
part of officials of Southern lines TO raise
their freight rates. Expressions have been
made that readily indicate this, officials
believe the roads should come in for Their
share of the general advance in prices on
all manufactured products, railroad sup
plies and materials and, in fact, nearly
every commodity, and it will be strange
If, favorable decision to the roads being
given by the attorney general, Southern
lines do not follow the lead of the trunk
lines and elevate freight rites
