RAILROAD NEWS
SALT AIR IS HEAVY
Increases Weight of Baggage
From 1000 to $500 Pounds

Its curious remarked Great
Northern official yesterday, chow some
people will kick. even when they have
little cause to do so. And then, on the
other hand, it seems strange how much
some of the travelling public will stand
without raising holler
ION the latter proposition 1 had q
case called to my attention the other
day that was a wonder.
"a carpet salesman travelling out of
New York, but making the Northwest
clear to the coast, had an experience In
Seattle that would have caused the
average man to invent q few brand
new cuss words to fit the occasion,
but he stood it like a little man, and
understand the road on which he met
up with the experience has his picture
framed and decorated with forget-me-
notS.
Carpet samples are packed In big
cylindrical cases, and as a salesman
must carry quite line, his excess
baggage amounts to q very consldera-
bic item on a trip across the country.
The man refer to paid on 1000 pounds
excess on his westward trip. He trav-
eled- up and down the coast country,
and when he was ready to return he
had his samples weighed again and
prepared for his trip.
"The railroad in weighing the sam
pies discovered that they tipped the
beam at $500 pounds, and in spite of
the fact that the traveller swore they
were identically the same as he paid
for on basis of 1000 pounds, he had
to settle for the odd 500.
"All the satisfaction the man got
from the Seattle officers was that the
salt sea air of the coast probably ac-
counted for the extra weight. And
sf,NrIr.
samples passed through st. Paul yes
terday I saw them weighed and the
extra substance was there all right, all
right. The salesman, however did not
file long complaint, but merely pass
ed it off as joke

DEALER ASSA|LS THE
PRIVATE CAR SYSTEM
TestifIes Before Commission
That Fruit Car Company
Underse.Is Competitors

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Attorney Levy
MAYER: representing Streets Western
Car line. made an unexpected move in
the inquiry of the interstate commerce
commission today regarding private
car traffic.
He set up the contention that the
car concern was not a common carrier
and that its officers need not divulge its
methods Of business.
Commissioners Clements, Yeomans
and Prouty decided to take the matter
under advisement.
J. Leverone a Cincinnati fruit mer-
chant, testified before the inquisitors
that Armour & Co. sold pineapples IN
Cincinnati at prices which could not
possibly be met by competitors, in or
der to coerce produce dealers into US
Ing the Armour refrigerator cars.
Leverone declared that Armour &
Co. not only charged fruit shippers
arbitrarily high prices for the use OF
iced cars, but, through arrangement
with fruit carrying lines like the
Louisville & Nashville, practically
compelled consignees to use the Ar
1nour cars. Then having forced deal
ers to hold their goods at high prices
TO cover excessive transportation costs,
the Armours are in the habit, he
averred, of turning about and under
selling dealers to degree that debars
the latter from doing business in any
particular line of business.
Leverone testified that Armour & Co.
could afford to undersell him $35 car
load and still make a profit, so over
whelming was their advantage through
ownership of fruit transportation facil-
tiles. He produced documentary evil.
