SACRIFICES OF SOLDIERS
Marry Are OH Duty at Heavy Daily Loss
10 Themselves.

10 lnCIl1SSlNGSs
One of the members of tho virginia vol
untcers now on duty In this city yester-
day called the attention Of the reporter
to the fact that though much Is being
said Or the streets and In the
press as to the cost to the
state of the service of the troops here.
not word Is said as to the sacrifices
being made by the military In being here.
SO far from the paltry dollar day being
any inducement to the soldiers. he said
as a matter OF fact many of those now
serving here are ncglccting important bus
mess interests to sorve their State. Some
Of these men who receive the pitiful dol
lar a day here are clerks nnd hook-keep-
ers and business men, with salaries or
Incomes of s75 to $3.50 month, and 9th
crs are skilled mechanics, receiving from
$3.50 to 81 and even S. a day In their Vo-
cations, and losing their recommendations
while they are serving the State here.
That Is a view Of the situation, he said,
which is being overlooked. 1t ought to be
remembered, too, he said. that these men
were not here to take sides in the strike,
In which they were not concerned fur
tier than in maintaining law and order
and protecting lives and proprty from
violence and lawlessness. Tho mon were
hero doing a sworn duty to the best Of
their ability. It mattered not to them,
he said, whose property or llfe was ell
Gangered; they were here to protect 1t
and the right of property Itself.

THE COMMISSION
ASKS MORE LIGHT
Decision Yesterday In Cases
Against the G. & O.
Railway.

The Corporation Commission yesterday
rendered the following opinion in the
case of u. S. Taylor & Company and tho
stamford Manufacturing Company
against tho Chesapeake and Ohio Kali
way Company
Tho commission having CONSIDERED al
the documentary evidence ana orai
testimony introduced on the nearing
of this cause. and 1t appearing from
an examination OF the tariff sheets
in evidence that the rates for the
shipment OF bark OH tho line OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany vary greatly, and taking q distance
of 1o5 miles, said rates vary from MINI
mum charge Of sl.20 per ton on all kinds
OF bark for delivery to manufacturers
from which they obtain return haul OF
finished products to a maximum or S32O
per ton for the Same distance on chestnut
oak and homlock bark: and 1t further
appearing that on one other railroad line
in the State, n level rate OF s1.SO per ton
applies, under all circumstances, on all
kinds Of bark, and that on still another
railway line in the State maximum
rate of s3.40 per ton for the same distance
of los miles applies on chestnut oak and
a maximum of $3.50 on black oak bark,
the commission Is unable, owing to this
wide variation in existing rates, and with
out tuftlert evidence aS 10 INC IlttuIS anu
movement Of the traffic, to arrive at a
Just and proper conclusion as to the
rcasonableness Of the rates complained
of in this cause from the evidence before
It. It seems to the commission that It
has been held by some of the courts that
a railroad company has q right to allow,
in favor Of manufacturers along Its line,
from whom it expects to get n return
haul Of finished products, a lower rate-on
raw material used by them than Its reg
ular rates for the general transportation
Of like material. and that such discrimi-
nation Is not necessarily unjust and I'M
reasonable: provided, that tho regular
ratio allowed to manufacturers or other
shippers, off it's line Is not in itself Unjust
and unreasonable.
The evidence introduced before the COM
mission, at tho hearing of this cause, be-
ing inadequate and insufficient to enable
It to pass upon the specific rates brought
into question in the complaint and answer.
1t is ordered that this cause be heard
again. and such new hearing Is set down
for Monday, tho eth day of July, 1908, on
which date the parties are ordered to at
tend at the offices Of the commission in
tho city OF Richmond, at II A. NJ, and
Introduce such testimony as they may
DO advised Is necessary for the proper
calculation OF the entire case.
