EXPERTS ON STAND

RAILROADS MADE SELECTIONS
In Making Tariffs They Used Their
Own Judgment In Erecting
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF Rates.

Washington, Nov 2j.--Expcrt freight
tariff testimony featured today's ses-
slons Of the interstate commerce. which
is investigating the proposed advances
in rates in the official classification ter
rtory.
Several OF the witnesses told in de-
tail of the effect of these scheduled IN
cieascs by the eastern trunk lines.
dwelling on the discriminatory phase
OF the railroad plan to meet tile alleged
needs for more freight revenue. Henry
G. Barlow of Chicago. Il director of
the Chicago association Of commerce
and for 90 years experienced in railroad
business, testified that the class rates
between New York and Chicago We're
unreasonable and that the proposed
advances were not fairly distributed.
lie said the railroads seemed to have
selected such commodities US they
wished, had left other tariffs un-
changed. and had made some rcduc-
tons He said the railroad plan put
the entire increase on only 10 per cent
OF the freight tonnage while the pre-
text Of meeting wage increase applied
to 100 per cent OF all tonnage.
lie declared the proposed advance put
"A per cent of the burden on the first
class freight and that substantially 10
pcrs of FIRST. second and third classes
OF freight. He estimated that substan-
TALLY 101-l0 of tho total railroad tom
mage In tie territory affected would
bear the burden of tho advance.
He said that substantially So per cent
of the total increase would be on class
rates and Ia per cent on commodity
rates. His contention was that tho big
shippers would not bear as much Of the
burden as the small shippers and that
the shippers under class rates during
the past decade had contributed their
full share Of the proposed increased
ia ties.
Mr. Barlow's declaration that any in
creased freight rate always fell on the
consumer was questioned by Chairman
Knapp. who asked the witness how he
figured that an Increase nj less than )

crease of freight rates promised gem

the price Of shoes e man wore.
Mr.. Knapp explained that he recently
had been shown some figures regarding
shoes which he had verified. The man
ufacturcr had increased his price IL

under requirement from the manu-
facturer and owing to the freight in

Mr.. Barlow said that when q manu-
tacturcr shipped 100000 cases OF shoes,
It vas probable OH 3 or 4 per cont profit.
and IL ~ Is per cent increase rate was
Imposed on him.he probably would raise
his price 10 cents n pair. as the manu-
ifacturer would not be willing to suffer
tho loss. Then the retailer would in
sreasn the price to the consumer.
/, While discussing tho packing house
products rates, Mr.. Barlow again
