Galveston, Tex. Nov. 23.-The inter-
state commerce commission, in session
at San Antonio. is in possession of evil
oence of a collision between the rail-
road systems and the steamship lines
operating in the coastwise trade be-
tween New York and gulf ports, par
ticularly with reference to Galveston.
This information was limited at in the
session Saturday, and it is said today
the commission has come into posses
sion of details through a statement or
confession of one or more officials, be-
heved to be steamship officials.
The commission had an agent in Gal
weston for two days on a special in
vestigation. 1t is charged that the rail-
roads and steamship companies have
been operating under a secret agree
ment, whereby the steamship lines
maintain certain freight rates which
prevent the railroads from losing the
business, and the latter give the steam
ship lines a larger proportion of the
revenue on through rates than they are
entitled to. In other words, the raj
and water lines have been in a rate
combine to Cypress the shippers.
The commission will give this special
attention and prosecutions for viola
lions of the law may follow.
