QUARLES-COOPER BILL
Meets Opposition by Railroads at In.
tcrstate Commerce Hearing.

Washington. Jan. 11.-OppoSition to
government rate making for the rail
roads was continued, t"flay. before tn"
House c"mnitt.'. un Interstate and for
eigu commerce. President samuel
Spencer Of tho Southern Railway, re-
summed his argument against the
Qu:rltS-C COPPER bill.
Mr.. Spencer taking up the increase
in the receipts of railroads in 1903 of
$1J.,, 600. over the ye1r 1899, declared
that 1899 was the love- rate period in
the history of rairoadng. If the char
acter of the tonnage had been precise
~ the same. during the years 1899 and
1908 there would not have been the
&135 0D0, 900 difference N lates. Plume
tuations are going on in classification
all the time but these re-c!assificationS
have not resulted in Increasing rates.
Asked whether there would be objec-
ton to a uniform classification Of
freight throughout the country, Mr..
Spencer said there might not be, al
though it would without doubt throw
the rates Of certain railroads out OF
line. If ii was done suddenly, there was
often a great difference in freight rates
on the same commodity each way on
the road.
Answering Representative Richards On
of Alabama, Mr.. Spencer said: Speaking
rmotficially for, | might say, - PER cent.
OF the railroads of the country: assert
that you cannot make the law forbi,;diIS
rebates 200 drastic to suit me-.
No well managed roads give tn" re-
bates now, he continued. In the cia5sl-
hcatlon of freight. Mr.. 81, nccr said that
the result WAS uniformly a reduction ani
not an increase in rates.
Asked as 10 what power The Interstate
commerce committee had respecting ra les.
Mir. Spencer said:
1t has power to state WAT l. an TN
reasonable rate. and have .hr right To test
that aSScrj ion in the courts.
The comforting Of the power 10 declare

would he prriudictIl to The commercial
interests OF the country.
The present bill. Mr.. spencer said, would
effect an irrewrahle injury on q raiir' I'd
which had affixed a rat" after careful
consideration by having thai rate set
aside and another named by the commits
sion and the whole matter tied up in the
courts.
