PRIVATE GAR LINES
 WILL HAVE ID GO Members of Congress Coming
 Out of the Woods RAILROADS ARE AGREED
Many Hold That Special Facilities Should Not Be Furnished By Private Persons-Wili Sup-
 ply Refrlseratina Cars.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, September 10.-(Special.)- Out of the maze of doubt and uncertainty as to railroad legislation in the next Con gress, members are becoming more in- clned daily to believe that the private car lines at least will have to go. It may be that the Elkins and Aldriches will concede this much to the railroad rate agitators in the hope that 1t will some what serve to satisfy their desires for the passage of bill along the Esch- Townsend lines. It is even stated that at the interstate commerce commission in- formation has been received from several important railroads that they will not seek to prevent legislation looking to- wards the abolition of the private car line system.
 A Member Talks.
 A member of the interstate commerce commission said today, in reference to the recent interview of Commissioner Cockrell, that 1t would be but right for the railroads to furnish the special fa- cilities. and they o,syht not to be In position where they can tie1egate any part of their duty or responsibility as common carriers to anyone else.
 Many of the railroads' continued he, 'are already airing this view of the sit- uation In the Louisville stock yards case, 1t was held specifically that such special facility should be furnished by the railroads. Some of them are already won over to this view, and have given us definite assurance that they will furnish such facilities.
 seu,.,o ..~4Ixfno owo,,,,Ias ,F tt,fs t,, fl,a west are the Pere Marquette and Mchi- gan Central roads, which tap one of the most important fruit sections of the country.
 The roads have not only assured the commission in writing that they will furnish their own refrigerating cars, but that they will put Into effect a rate which the commission has already said to them is a possible one They only walt until their present contracts with private car lines expire, and until they can secure the necessary refrigerating car equipment and Ice house stations.
 Rates Will Be Cheaper
 "The rates which the commission will enforce on these roads and which the roads have already accepted, are 50 per cent cheaper than have been in effect in the past.
 "If the next Congress will correct the private car line abuses by either abolish ing them or else so controlling them that the commission can get the same reason able rates for the shippers they are now assured by stricter enforcement of the laws against common carriers, 1t will go a great way towards accomplishing all that has been demanded by a suffering shipping public"
 In addition to those roads mentioned by the member of the commission quoted above. 1t Is said that the Illinois Central and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy roads have taken steps In exactly the same direction, and that in compara- lively short time they will offer as com mon carriers all the facilities for refrig eration now furnished In their territories by the Armour and other private car lines.
