A. c. BIRD OPPOSES R4TE BILLs.
Says They Are Revolutionary and Would
Not Prevent secret Rate Cutting.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. A. c. Bird, vice.
president Of the Gould railroads, appeared
before the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce to-day to oppose
all the pending bills on the subject OF Inter
state Commerce rate regulation. He said
that not one OF them would accomplish
the elimination OF the practice OF secret
rate cutting
An these proposals are revolutionary,
he declared IF any one OF them ia enacted.
il will create the greatest monopoly the
world has ever known. II would place
the commerce Of the country and the in
strumentalities Of commerce in the hands
Of half a dozen men.
Mr.. Bird gave it as his opinion that placing
tho rate making power into the hands OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission would
produce u chaotic condition because OF the
inability OF the commission TO take up the
complaints that would come up from every
city town. village and hamlet In the coun-
try He said there was much dishonesty
in the comuetition bet ween cities Tor adj
vanrages in the matter OF rates Each
wants a differential in it, own favor.
The burden Of his argument was that
no Government board could give the com
plicatei ques on Of rates the attention 1t
requires He said that traffic conditions
change so rapidly that rate that may he
fair one week may be absolutely ridiculous
the next He said that no railroad rate
maker ever considers the question OF a
fair return O. the capital stock. Rates
are the res & of comparison, competition
and comp omise. he declared
Mr. Bird said he could not say positively
that anv freight was being carried at
loss. although railroad men belle "a -oIne
rat ~ are Toe low
THAT is the result Of competition is
II not?" asked member
Yes. was the reply.
Then. why don't the railroads agree to
raise the ones that are too low
If we did. said Mr.. Bird. thanks 70
the law You gentlemen enacted, we would
be put in Jail.
Mr. Bird, IN answer TO questions by
Representative Davey. said he was opposed
to any legislation and that he did not agree
with the views expressed on the subject
by President Roosevelt in his last annual
message,
The committee. in secret session. decided
20 close hearings on Wednesday. consider
the pending bills on Thursday, and try 10
report a bin 10 the House in time 10 have
it passed in the early days Of February.

The New Highway Bridge.

Colonel Leach, the engineer officer IN
charge of the improvement of the POto-
mac river. called at the War Department
Yesterday aid made an oral report to
General Mackenzie, chief of engineers,
regarding the temporary suspension OF
work on The steel superstructure OF The
new Highway bridge. The work, 1t *
understood, was stopped in consequence
of the strike against the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, contractors for the
bridge. because of some differences with
the workingmen at the plant in Penn
sylvania. It Is understood that several
of the principal bridge building firms IN
the country will join forces with the
Pennsylvania Steel Company in making
an issue with the Union Iron Workers
Association in this case. 1t Is alleged
that the iron workers employed by the
PENNSYLVANIA Steel Company have broken
their agreement with the company not
to strike without first submitting to ar
bitration any grievances against the COM
pany that might possibly justify such
action. 1t is on that point, it is said.
that thebridge companies have decided 10
combine for the settlement of the present
issue
