ed If we would agree that such a rate
should conform to all the conditions
imposed by the Government under the
contract.
This was the proposition. We were
asked in the space of an hour and a
quarter to make up a special rate,
which would be used on a traffic worth
over 100000 under which we must
conform to various conditions which
would be unusual, and besides that
three or more miles of new track
would have to be built. You can see
what the amount of work was.

ton to sign contract agreeing that
in case Mayer got the contract, he
would have the rock hauled from Puma
| by us. He said no. Then l told him
that we would be unable to offer him a
special rate as it was exactly the prop
osition that the Government was fight
ing, the giving of indiscrlminate spe-
cial rates.
81 asked him why he had not come
in before and he replied that he had
meant to and had been working on the
matter for full month, but had put
| it off too long. l can assure you, in
regard to the tale that they were told
to wait till came home, that there is
no truth in the matter. l have asked
my father and the other men in the

In that state. The chairmanship OF

a southern man because Of the atti-
