Q. IT wish to ask you now, Mr..
Spencer, what are the salaries Of the
general officers Of your company"
A. IT do not know, except as to
those who report to me-
Then Mr.. Brnxton asked question,
| which provoked a long and brilliant con-
troversy between counsel and which,
was finally determined In his favor He
wished to know what was Mr.. Spcnccr's
salary as general manager, and In a mo-
| ment Mr.. Tnom was upon his feet to
object. The latter mad on the previous
| day examined the witness closely as to
the Increased cost Of labor among the
i men paid wages on tho road, and now
! Mr.. Braxton desired TO know as to
| salaries.
"The question Of salaries is directly
pertinent to this inquiry" said NJ
! Braxton. If this road Is run extrava-
| gantly 1t cannot come here and plead for
| high rates. All salaries and wages, from the
| highest to the lowest. should be looIed
| into. This Is a public corporation. and
| it should say what its expenses are in
order that we may arrive at a proper con-
clusion as to what rates 1t shall charge
Thought It Proper.
II submit that this Is a proper SUBJ
ject of inquiry, and must say In frank
ness that it Is a wholesome one. It will
be good for the people and good for the
road
Mr.. Thorn replied briefly to Mr. Brax-
ton, and at o'clock the commission took
a recess until $50 o'clock.
| When the sitting was resumed Attor-
/ ney-General Anderson pleaded for the
I admission of the testimony In question.
1.-THE evidence is not only material, but
! Important he said. Eve do not feel
| that we are invading any sacred pre-
salaries should be kept secret. unless
they are extravagant-''
Mr.. Thorn followed In a strong effort.
while admit that railroad companies
arc quasi-public corporations" he said,
"yet they retain the element Of private
ownership. You are proposing here to
cause the company embarrassment and
the officials discomfort.
IT wish to emphasize the fact that
we have nothing to conceal. IA
II will gladly lay before your honors
the percentage paid IN salaries by the
road, and. It seems to me, that is sutli-
cient.
"These matters have always been con-
sidered Of confidential nature by the
Southern, for tho reasons have stated,
and when no legitimate purpose can be
served, submit that the question need
not be gone into.
