TURNING THE TABLES
SANTA FE AND ROCK ISLAND Civ.
EN- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TABLE INTRODUCED.

Chicago-Coincident with the clos
inR Of the testimony OF the Santa Fe
system before the special examiners
sion, and the statement from the
roads statistician that the increase IN
freight rates asked would net
the Santa Fe only $4,000 In
crease yearly in earrings, there
came a suggestion that the rail-
raods now on the defensive might
change their tactics and seek to COM
pei the shippers who oppose the ad-
vance in freight rates to declare how
much they profit on the different COM
modities under consideration.
A request from Attorney F. J. Nor
ton, counsel for the Santa Fe. for the
names of the different associations OF
shippers represented at the hearing.
that he might question certain OF the
shippers, gives color to the reports
that shippers would be asked about
their profits. One prominent railroad
man declared that inasmuch as the
shippers are protesting that the prof
its of the railroads are unreasonable.
the railroads might well ask the ship
pers what their profits are. SO the COM
mission may know whether they are
seriously disturbed by the increase
which they are fighting.
When the initial presentation OF the
contentious of the Santa Fe system
was concluded the hearing was trans
ferred to the Rock Island road.
F.O. Melcher. second vice president
Of the Rock Island. told OF increased
expenses OF the road In late years. due.
according to him. to advance in the
wage scale and increased cost Of opera
tion.
He was questioned by Attorney w.
8. Dickinson. counsel for the road. He
offered in evidence . table showing
that increased wages paid in the oper.
ating department Of the road amount-
ed In 1906 and 1907 to S52s.00O: In 1907
and 1903. to S1.314.000: in 1908 and
1909 to 31.314.ooo: in 1909 and 1910 to
81 .451 900. and In 1910 and 1911 the
estimated increase would total 32.465..
900. and in 1911 and 1912 the estimat
ed increase would be 32.612.000.
Mr.. Melcher said that the road does
not get more efficient labor by reason
of the increased wages. Some Of the
increases, he said. were the result Of
threatened strikes and some we're
granted after arbitration.
