ARBITERS DISPERSE
WILL MEET AGAIN IN ScRAN'
TON NOVEMBER IA.
They Have Gained Much Technical
knowledge Of the Anthracite
Situation by Their Weeks
Personal Investigation.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-Chairman Gray
Recorder Wright, Brigadier-General Will
son and Mr.. Parker. four of the seven
members of the anthracite strike COM
mission, and Assistant Recorder Mosely
arrived here late this afternoon from the
coal region. where they have just ended
a weeks tour of the coal belt.
From here Judge Gray went to his
home in Wilmington, Del, and Commits
sioner Parker departed for New York,
while Recorder Wright General Wilson
and the other members of the party left
for Washington over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Commissioner Clark left
the party at Reading. Pa, and started
for Chicago. Bishop Spalding and Com
missioner Watkins returned to Scranton,
where they will remain for some time.
Scranton is Mr.. Watkins's home. The
Bishop will be the guest Of Bishop Poban
while in that city.
The commissioners finished their work
in good physical condition and separated
in the best of spirits. They have gained
much information in the regions visited
and during the interim they will look
over statistics which some of them have
in their possession.
The commissioners will meet again at
Scranton, November IA, when the bearing
of the miners side of the case will be be-
gun. After they have concluded their
case, the operators will make their de-
Tense, after which the mine workers will
probably be again heard in rebuttaL
From Scranton 1t is likely the commits
sion will go to Pottsville, and sit there
for a few days. and then go to Philadel-
phia and New York The commissioners
have no idea when they will be able to
make their decision.

SHOULD RAISE RATES
RAILROAD VICE PRESIDENT
TAKES BOLD STAND.
Tells Interstate Commerce Commits
sion That Transportation Charges
are Unreasonably Low-Con-
tentions of Chicago Packers.

Chicago, Nov GA. C. Bird, Thirt
Vee-President of the st. Paul Road, tool
bold stand before the Interstate Com
merce Commission today when that bod!
began an investigation into rates on cat
tie and packing house products between
Chicago and the Missouri River.
Mr.. Bird was the first witness of i'm
portance before the commission, ant
when asked If he desired to defend the
rates, he declared that they were not rea.
sonable.
Not only are our live stock rates I'M
reasonable" he declared but all our
freight rates today are unreasonable, be-
cause they are entirely too low to com.
pensate for the service rendered. AL
freight rates should be raised, and 1 am
surprised that the railroads do not make
a combined effort and raise them
This statement surprised the members
of the commission, and they Immediately
started to ascertain Mr.. Birds reasons
The witness stated that 1t was unfair
to take the past two years as basis from
which to judge the fairness of rates and
the fairness of the remuneration derived
by the railroads, for, during that period
the volume of traffic had greatly increas-
ed, whereas before that period railroad
ing had not, as a general proposition, been
remunerative.
With respect to cattle rates, Mr.. Bird
asserted that cattle did not now and had
not for years paid their just proportion
of transportation charges, and that to
further reduce the rates on cattle would
be to make a bad situation worse.
When asked what governed the scientific
making of rates, he replied that he had
not seen the time in twenty-five years
when rates could be made on a scientific
basis. On the contrary, rates are always
based upon competition, comparison and
compromise.
The present inquiry Is at the instigation
of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange
which claims that the lower rate on pack
ing house products which exists between
Chicago and Missouri River points, -rela-
tive to the rate on cattle operates against
the Chicago market. Under the prevail
ing rates, packers can better afford to
convert the live stock into packing house
pr oducts at Missouri River points than
at Chicago
