RAILROAD MAN PROTESTS
would Not Have Rule ON Export 1stes
Changed from Present
Form.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-Further hear
ing was given by the Interstate Commerce
commission today on the question of waiv-
ing the thirty days notice of proposed
changes Of rates on shipments of cotton.
Chairman Knapp announced that he had
received letter from well known pres
ident of a western railroad protesting
against any waiver of the thirty day rule.
without exception. on export and import
traff1c. Chairman Knapp proposed the
reading of the letter with the statement
that 1t was for the information of those
present and that his action should not be
construed as lending approval to the sem
timents therein expressed.
The name of the author OF the letter was
not announced. but II appealed to the com.
mission to do its full duty and not permit
itself 'to be winked at" in order that
secret midnight rates" might not be given
to some favored shipper, one passage OF
the letter was follows:
/ protest against the letting down of the
bars which will render the efforts of the
company to obey the law useless and re-
suit in a flood of Illegal practices and COM
shadow of the penitentisry the remainder
OF their lives.
Edward Baxter counsel of several SOUTH
ern roads Interested In the hearing. upon
the conclusion of the reading OF the let
ter. declared that he believed he knew the
name of it's author.
II think" said he. that he belongs to a
class OF railroads that nominally profess
obedience to the law and make what profit
they do make by secret midnight rebates.
We are not here before this commission TO
ask it to wink at anything"
At the afternoon session Mr.. Baxter de-
clared that an accuser of right ought to
meet the defendant face to face. In this
case. he said, the opportunity was not
given of even knowing the name of the let
ter writer. He said that II was extremely
unfair that an anonymous letter writer
should put us in the attitude of endeavor-
ing to obtain some advantage over this
commission. 1 wish to acquit the gentle
men 1 represent of any sinister or under
hand or nefarious purpose toward obtain
ing anything from this commission
The commission passed the matter over
without announcing the writer's name and
ordered the hearing to proceed.
The hearing developed into a general dis
cussion of cotton trafhc, the representa-
tives of the lines east of the Mississippi
who are favorable to the waving of the
thirty-day notice and those west of the
Mississippi, who favor the enforcement of
the law, charging each other with endeav-
oring to restrict competition.
An adjournment was taken until tomor-
row.
