INVESTIGATION Of
PRIVATE CAR Lines

Washington, Oct. 19.-What nrom.
1ses to extend into a legislative and
legal battle against private car Lines
was precipitated by the interstate com
merce commission by the course. taken
Yesterday at the beginning of the hear
ing instituted to show the connection
between refrigerator car lines and rail-
roads.
Counsel for the commission directed
every effort to bring out the fact that
great railroad systems operating their
own refrigerator car lines give to their
shippers much lower rate for refrig-
GRAFTON than lie obts ined on roads that
are compelled to operate in connection
with private car lines. In this the
railroads, notably the Illinois Central
and the Pennsylvania, through their
traffic and freight managers, who were
on the stand the greater part Of the
day, apparently aided the commission.
As result there were many sharp
tilts between the counsel for the COM
mission and the attorneys for the Ar
mour Gar lines and private companies.
The action Of the commission in init
ating the inquiry and prosecuting the
companies has the double purpose of
estab lishing its jurisdiction over pri-
vate car lines and correcting the evils
complained of. The chief contest ID
expected to develop on the point of
jurisdiction.
