south Carolina senator Refers 10 Coal
and Railroads and Method of
TrRnsacting Business
in the East

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-There was
larger attendance in the senate galleries
than usual today. owing evidently to the
expectation that there would be some re-
vival of yesterdays scenes over Mr.. Pat
terson's caucus resolution.
Mr.. Tillnan opened the proceedings Of
the day by referring TO a petition previ-
ously presented by him from the Red Rock
Fuel company of West Virginia complain
ing that the Baltimore Ohio company
had refused to permit that company 10
connect its tracks with those Of the Raln-
more e. Ohio. thus. as Mr.. Tillnan ex-
pressed il, "bottling up the company He
said that at the time MI Elkins had said
there was a remedy under the state laws
OF West Virginia He then presented a
letter from Governor Dawson Of West
Virginia complaining of the difficulty in
administering the laws. The governor
added: 1T may be that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company does not legally own a
controlling part Of the Baltimore Ohio
company or the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
way company or the Norfolk & Western
Railway company, but I have no doubt
that an investigation will show that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company practically
controls these three great lines which
only means whereby the products OF this
state. including coal. can be shipped to
either the lakes in the west or other mar
kets in the east Hence il is q fact that
West Virginia today is in the grasp OF
a railroad trust which practically says
what part Of the state shall be developed
and what shall not be developed. how much
coal shall be shipped out Of the state. TO
what points ports it shall be shipped
and when II shall be shipped.
''Of course II makes its own rates and we
are helpless. The Pennsylvania railroad is
very largely interested in the production or
shipment Of bituminous coal: il will natu-
rally look after its own interest and the in
Pennsylvania and elsewhere first Of all.
and therefore the interests Of West Viz
ginia are subordinated TO the interests Of
these others and our railroads upon which
We are dependent are controlled by an
alien corporation practically in competition
with US"
Mr.. Foraker expressed the hope that
there would be an investigation along the
lines suggested by Governor Dawson. He
said that the governors complaint went TO
the heart Of the railroad trouble all over
the country.
Mr.. Hale, from the committee on appro-
prtations. reported the urgent deficiency

would tomorrow ask the senate 10 take IL
