a witness to-day before former Judge
Montgomery, who has been appointed

mine the constitutiona1ity of the 2 IA
cent passenger rate law of North
Carolina. Mr.. Daley gave various fig
ures showing the costs of running a
railroad. He said 1t cost three times as
much for local hauling as 1t does for
hauling trains over a direct one-hun-
dred mile stretch or q longer dis
lance. Former Congressman Woodard.
one Of the, Representatives OF the
North Carolina Corporation Commits
sion. cross examined Mr.. Daley, who
said that North Carolina was one OF
the most expensive States In which
to opyrate railre ID.
There were few large cities In North
Carolina, and consequently there was
no very large volume OF business
either from a freight or passenger
standpoint. Mr.. Daley said that IN
Illinois so, 900 pounds of grain or loo'-
nm hounds OF coal were loaded on
car. while in North Carolina 1.soo
nound. of tobacco constituted car
load. The witness sad that he thought
about 70 per cent of the railroad bust
mass In North Carolina was done In
hauling lumber.
The investigation was adjourned IN
