TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES
Complaint of Hearst Against Coal
CarryinR Roads is 20 Re-
ceive Attention.

NEW YORK, April 21.--The Interstate
Commerce commission sat in this city today
to consider the compr' mt of William r..
Hearst that certain CT. wing roads are
violating the intersta. sr1t,. - law.
The defendant roads afS N.Y. selphia
& Reading. the Lehigh Valies " "a al
Of New Jersey the New York, Sua
& Western the Erie, the Ontario &.
ern, the Delaware & Hudson, the Pennsy.
vania and the Baltimore g. Ohio.
The specific complaints OF Mr.. Hearst are
that the roads charge unreasonable rates
that they discriminate in favor of the BIZ
luminous against the anthracite coal COM
panies, and that they have contrived in vio-
lation OF the anti-pooling section Of the
interstate commerce law to discriminate
against the independent coal mining COM
panies in favor OF the companies controlled
by the railroads.
The commission is also to consider while
here the old case of the complaint of the
Texas Cattle Raisers' association and the
Chicago 1--we Stock association against the
Chicago local transfer tax. which calls for
the payment Of 81 per car for cattle trans
ferred from the termini OF the western rail-
roads in Chicago to the Union stock yards.
At the first hearing on that subject the
commissioners ordered a reduction Of the
tax from 81 to 81 per car. That ruling was
submitted to the United States supreme
court, which sent the whole case back to
the Interstate Commerce commission for
more evidence.
The Delaware & Hudson, Erie, Delaware.
Lackawauna & Western, Lehigh Valley,
Philadelphia & Reading. Jersey Central and
Ontario & Western entered appearances.
No answers we're received when the COM
mission asked who represented the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore & Ohio.
The session was occupied by summary
Of the complaint by counsel for the com
plainant and the presentation Of an ex-
hibit showing the tariff on bituminous and
anthracite coal and pig iron.
