Truth IS OUT.
econtinusd from First Pags.l

CONTINUED from First Page.)
The foregoing statement shows the
extent to which the stock of the sew
eraa railroad companies named in the
discussion is owned by any other rail-
road company named therein.
In addition to these facts of stock
ownership the annual reports above
referred to show the names Of the Of
Hcers and directors of the several raif-
road companies named in the resolu-
ton on the Both day of June. 1905.
From the general knowledge and in
formation of the commission the further
statement IS warranted that since the
acquisition by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company and the companies con-
troIled by it of the stock of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railway company and the
NorIolk q Western Railroad company,
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad com
pany as above set forth, the published
rates Of the several railroads named
have been better maintained and in
some instances advanced, and there APP
pears to be less competition in rates
between these lines than was formerly
the case; but this is also true of com
petitIVe rates generally in other parts
of the country.
AS to whether the facts herein before
stated show or tend to show a violation
of the act of congress referred to in the
resolution the commission expresses no
opinion, as it is charged with no duty
in connection with that enactment hav-
ing no authority to determine a ques-
ton arising hereunder.

news was strong cables and reports OF
