Boston, Now, In political speeches

eating "the great and powerful coal

Mr., Moody spoke in part as follows;

"Can any sane man doubt under

Chicago, Nov. If Rudolph M. Pat
terson, former assistant state dairy
commissioner, his associates in the Hi
nois Freight Audit company and their
end Se campaign tRey have 6egun
against the railways Of illinois for
damages for alleged overcharges in vio-
1ation of the long and short haul clause
Of the state law they will never have
to work any more.
Mr.. Patterson announces that the
company expects to bring, on behalf
of Illinois shippers, suits for over
charges and damages aggregating $780,
100000. This, was after he had stated
on the witness stand in Justice Mar
tin s court during the trial of suit
and his associates get so per cent of
every bill collected sgss 49, s. .s. b
Gigantic Hold-1p, He Says. n
Mr.. Patterson further asserted that
if shippers continue to send in bills at
the rate they have been, his company
and the shippers it represents will soon
be in a position, by bringing both
civil and criminal actions for over
charges to bankrupt every railroad in
Illinois,
Mr.. FELTON,, president Of the Alton,
three days ago swore in court that the
Audit company is engaged in an at
tempt to perpetrate ''hold-up'' on a
gigantic scale.
While the roads, have disregarded
the long and short haul clause ever
since it was passed, thirty-three years
ago, under. the statutes of limitations
shippers can only recover for over
charges during the last five years. Pat
terson says he has received excessive
bills paid by $4,000 shippers during this
period, aggregating $2,5O0,O0O and esti:
mates that the total number in exist
ence aggregates $10,O00,O00. He pro-
poses in every case to sue, as the stat
ute permits, for. three times the face
of the alleged excessive bills.
