Chicago. Feb. 17.-raking of testi-
mony in the fight between the Hill
and the Hartman railroads in the
Pacific northwest was begun in this
city today by Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty. The contest,
which is regarded as one of the most
important which has come before the
commission in years, is to enforce an
order directing the Northern
Pacific railroad to participate with
the Hartman lines in making a
through rate from Missouri and Mis-
sissippi river points into Portland,
ore. One of the important points in
| volved in the controversy is the right
Of the commission to compel Compel
ing railroads to join in making
trough rates. There we're seventy
five officials and lawyers present
when the hearing began, c. w. Bum
appearing for the Hill lines n c.
w. Dillard representing the Harri-
man interests. J. j. Woodwork, gen
eral traffic manager of the Northern
Pacific, was the first witness. with
maps and time tables in front of him
he compared the running time of the
Northern Pacific and the Union Pa
cific between the Mississippi and the
Pacific coast, and the service given
the public.
Beginning April 80. he said the
Northern Pacific viii operate rs pas
senger trains on an entirely new sche-
dule. A new train between 81. paul
and Seattle will be added to the SER
| vice and the daily through trains

by way Of st. Paul over the Burling-
ton route. The running time between
st. Paul and Seattle, he said, will be
reduced three hours and forty min
utes. Another new train will be OPP
Grated between Kansas City and Sc
attic.
"Arc these new trains to be put on
