Prouty, will, if possible, be made amen
abel to a maximum fine of $4,000 for
every violation of the law.
Speaking of the scope of the investi-
cation into the effects of combinations
between railroad interests, Commits
sioner Prouty said:
I'VE have asked the presidents of all
i the roads comprised in the Southern
Pacific combination and the Northern
i. Pacific combination to attend and also
j. F. Morgan. When they do not come
we shall take measures to compel them
to appear later But l do not wish to
be understood as presuming they will
fail to respond to our request"
The men indicated by Mr.. Prouty' S
statement are j. Pierpont Morgan, e..
H. Hartman, presiednt of the Southern
Pacific Oregon Short Line and Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company;
James ]. Hill, president of the Great
Northern; C. S. Mellen president of the
Northern Pacific; George B. Harris,

The testimony of the day by both
eastern and western men bore weary
| ing sameness. The essential points
elected We're:
From January to April, 1901, tariff
rates were obtained on packing house
products and dressed meats. From
! April to July there WAS concession OF
/ three cents from the Missouri river tc
| Chicago and of six cents from Chicago
to the seaboard on both domestic ano
export traffic. From July to January
1902, there was concession Of five cents
from the river to Chicago and of six
cents from Chicago to the seaboard,
During the early months Of the yea'
shipments were billed at tariff rates
and rebates paid either in the form OF
| vouchers or checks payable 10 the pack
ing-house firms or their representatives
and during the latter portion of thf
year the practice was almost general OF
billing fat or at actual rate, as being
more convenient
No records were made or kept on tbs
companies books concerning the trans
action of payment of vouchers.
There was a universal opinion thai
legalized pooling would do much to cor
rect the evil.
1t developed that the Santa Fe had 6
contract with packing company tC
carry its product from the river to Chi
cago for five cents off the tariff rate fol
one year from June 30, 1901, and tina
when the company gave notice of pub
fishing the rate the other roads induced
it to withdraw the notice.

The heavy business done since the

to reach the big figures predicted is
that it is the result of the congestion
