EASTERN FREIGHT TRAFFIC.
Testimony on the Subject Before the
Industrial Commission


e H CriswoId, general freight and
passenger agent of the Western Mary
land Railroad, testified this morning be
fore the Industrial Commission on the
present state of Eastern freight traffic
His general conclusions were that less
cut-rate traffic existed now than ever
before; that unreasonable freight rates
have practically ceased; that freight dis
examinations are almost unknown, and
that the Southern freight classification
is somewhat higher than the official
classification
Before beginning his observations on
freight traffic Mr. GriSwoId explained the
operations Of the Baltimore Freight Blu
reau, an organization Of railroads which
reach Baltimore, and which was estaB-
lished three years ago to obtain uniformity
Of practice and close relation between the
separate lines lie traced the growth Of
differentials from Western points TO
ports in the East. Formerly these IA
yOred the shorter lines, he said. but the
trunk lines had arranged an agreed
mileage. which equalized matters
A fast freight line, Mr. Grisgold ex-
piained, vas a line within several lines
operated by manager chosen by the
several separate roads and maintaining
through schedules Unreasonable rates
had given way 10 n uniformity of tariff
no matter what differences of mileage
might exist.
Between Baltimore and Hagerstown.
for example,, said Mr. GriswoId, there
are three roads-one s. miles long, one 104
miles long. and the third 15S miles long.
Yet these lines all charge the same
freight rate The long and short haul
clause of the existing Interstate Com
merce Law, the witness declared was OBJ

PRINTERS WANT BACK PAY
Claims of Temporary Employees CT
the Government Office.

~ Case Involving Pro Rata COmpcn-
satfOn for All Unused Leaves OF
Absence since July, 1S95-COnsid-
craEIc Interest in the Controversy.
Printers in Washington. especially
those employed by the Government, are
awaiting with great interest the decision
of the Court of Claims in the case Of
Arthur 3 Barringer vs. the United
States The case involves the right Of
temporary employees of the Government
Printing Office to pro rata pay ior I'M
used leave of absence which accrued
during the years from July l. 1893 There
are several hundred printers both men
and women. who have worked on the
temporary forces at the Government
Printing Office since 1895. and if the pend
ing case results in a decision favorable
to Barringer they will all be benefited
by it
The matter Of leave for employees of the
Government ONCE force was discussed
by printers several months ago, and laid
before George a. and William B. King.
local attorneys Those who took the
most active part were printers who have
worked as extras at he big office few
months in each year They came to the
conclusion that there was a chance TO
secure back pay. and meeting was
later held at Typographical Temple
George 4. King was present and made
plausible argument. which encouraged
those present to further efforts, and the
case of Barringer was filed as a test
Barringer-S claim is for pro rata pay at
the rate of 50. % and 800 per day for all
accrued, but unusued. leaves of absence
earned by the claimant in the several
years since July /. 1885 The right to re-
cover is based on the act of Congress of
June I9 1891 and Te-enacted in 1875, ana
finally elaborated upon and made perrna-
nent in 1896.
Prior to the act of June II, 1894 there
was no law which distinctly provided
that the Public Printer had any author
ity to pay for unused leaves of abseEce.
The accounting officers of the Treasury
have held that these acts give the re
CURED authority, but the light to such
pay has been withheld from those -em-
porarily employed, and the extra men
