COMMISSION HAS
BIG JOB ON HAND
INVESTIGATION INTO RELATION
BETWEEN RAILROADS AND THE
COAL COMPANIES HAS ONLY BE-
GUN-MoRE DISCLOSURES YET.

Washington, May 31.--(special. There
is reason to believe that the develop
ments from the interstate commerce COM
mission concerning the relation between
railroads and coal producing companies
has only begun. The commissions task
under the Tillman- Gillespie resolution is
still an immense one.
"It is so great" said one of the COM
missioners today. that It is plainly ini-
possible for us TO finish 1t up In detail,
to determine just what coal stocks every
official of a railroad holds and how he got
# and how many acres of coal land rail-
road owns We assume that substantial
compliance with the Instructions of Con-
gress will have been effected II we are
able to present a well reinforced state
ment Of facts"
Letters and complaints have been pour
ing In upon the commission from all
parts of the country, giving information
as to conditions which demand the atten-
tion Of the commission. The eastern field
will be finished up first. The Indian Ter
ritory field will be among the last taken
up and IL Is expected that the revelations
from the inquiry will be among the most
startling.

Professor Petrojivslly. who is one of the
