Will Gather Data For President.
Chicago, Jan. 4.-The Interstate
commerce commission win begin a
series Of their Investigations In Chi
cago next Tuesday. which are said 70
have for their purpose the gathering
of data for a special message by Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO congress. It is said
that in this special message President
Roosevelt will deal with three sub
iects, as follows: /. Railway commits
sions; 2. the interstate commerce
commission; 3. legislation governing
interstate traffic
Originally IL was the purpose Of the
president to cover these subjects
fully in his annual message to con
gress. but owing to the inability of the
Interstate commerce commission to
get all the facts necessary these sub
jects were touched upon but briefly
and were left to he handled in a sup
Elementary message. While the pack
Ing house men are apparently shun-
ming the investigation, the railroad
men are not seeking to avoid It. Many
Of them believe that anything is bet
ter than tho present conditions, and
that with stable rates would come
lower rates, to the great benefit Of the
entire country.
