BIG ROADS FAVOR

THE FIGHT is NOW BETWEEN

Washington, Jan. 29-The fight for
and against railroad rate legislation
\ is becoming one between the trans.
portation lines. The strong and pow
erful corporations favor ac ion by
congress The weaker companies are
against H. This is the opinion ex-
pressed today by prominent members
of the senate committee on interstate
commerce commission.

The rural representatives of these

law. They believe that such an ar

roads under their control. unity all
conflicting interests, prevent the con
struction of additional trunk lines
and assure TO each component Of the
various systems fair and proper.

All the lesser systems and lines, of
which the Gould system is the lar,
gest, are fighting rate legislation
They seek 70 retain control Of the
small roads and to build lines which
will hereafter come into compe ition
with the great trans-continental com.
panies. and they are satisfied that the
expectations of the big corporations
would be realized if rates were fixed
by law. and that therefore there
would be no incentive for small lines
to retain their identity or for the con.
struction of additional roads
