of the Interstate Commerce Commits
SIGN, Chairman Knapp and Commits
sioners Clements, Cockrell, Clark and
Lane, were present at the hearing I'M
der the new railroad freight rate law
recently enacted by Congress, which
has become effective.
The Trunk Line, New England and
Central railroads wereheard, through
their representatives, as to come
phases Of the operation Of the new
rate law. Thirty-four representa-
tives of these railroads, including
traffic officials and counsel and eight
representatives of various shipping
organizations were in attendance.
Every speaker representing the rail-
roads of the country had no DISPOSE
ton to lay obstacles in the way CT its
enforcement of the act, and the
speakers Wed with one another in as
surfing the commission of their inten-
ton to comply with the provisions Of
the law in every substantial particu-
lar.
b. D. Caldwell, a vice-president OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Wests
ern road, told the commission that,
through conferences with traffic Off
:ials and attorneys of various lines of
railroad, they had sought to reach an
understanding Of the new law, to the
end that they might be in position
properly to observe it.
IN II
Of sthes Pennsylvania Railroad Cons
pany, assured the commission that 1t
was the desire of all the roads with
which he had conferred to conform
absolutely with the law, and he told
the commission thatsuch publications
as had been made to the contrary
were without the shadow Of founda.
ton in fact I'VE have endeavored, e
said he, to find out what the law re-
uuires, and we Eave done our best to
meet those requirements as they are
operative"
James Maynard, of Knoxville.
Tenn, president Of the Brookville
Mills, large shipper of cotton goods,
expressed his opposition to the mere
posting in stations of railroad tariffs.
He said that the great trouble was
that the railroads shifted the classifi-
cation on shippers, which enabled
them to put up a higher rate. He adj
monished the commission that if this
point were not provided against the
effect of the new law would be multi
fed.
Through Chairman Knapp the com.
mission announced at the close of the
hearing that it would take up the
question presented for consideration
and would make known its decision.
