PRIVATE CAR LINES
ARE ON THE WANE
Armour and the American Transit
Companies Said 10 Want 20 Sell
Coal Roads Correcting Abuses.

Washington. June 26.-Thc Inter
state Commerce commission has been
informed that Armour a. Co. and tre
American Transit company are en-
deavoring To- sell their private cars.
Members OF the commission believe
this Is an indication OF the passage OF
the day OF the private car. The senu-
ment against these cars In growing
stronger every day. tho demand for
their regulation is insistont and tho
action Of congress In the pending rail-
road rate legislation promises TO bc
only a step toward more stringent con-
troll. The advantage heretofore OBJ
tanned from the use OF such cars cor
rectty Is diminishing. II Ia predicted
that In ten years no coal concern VIII
have private cars.
Tho Interstate Commerce commits
sion has practically finished its inves-
tigation OF the railroads which carry
bituminoas coal To tidewater I'm the
east. Tho commission considers itself
justified In believing:
That there will be a more equitable
distribution Of cars to coal companies,
which will mean in the future an abb
sence OF discrimination for or againsl
any concerns;
That there will be no repetition. for.
some time. Mt least, Of the colossal graft
such as was developed in the inquiry
into the Pennsylvania system;
That. as n result OF the report II will
make to congress-. legislation Will be
enacted nj the next session placing
Soal-carrytng cars under the Interstate
Commerce commission. as In done by
the pending railroad rate act In the
cases OF refrigerator and other private
cara.
