A public inquiry into the relations of

ing rates for shippers. The car COM
panies are said to insist on exclusive
! contracts from shippers and TO de
mand mileage from the railroads. j.
W. Midgley, representing big railroad
interests, testified that the system of
private cars had the railroad cOmpa-
MES firmly I'm its grasp. Counsel for
