TO join STUBS FIGHT.
Southwest Fearing a Precedent Will
Attack Rate Raise.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Sept. 10
Fear on the part of certain southwest
ern traffic men that the interstate
commerce commission, which is inves-
tigating the proposal of the railroads
Of the country for a unified raise in
freight rates, will hear only one side
of the question. is cause for the call
from Governor Stubs of Kansas to the
southwestern traffic managers for a
meeting September g.
The call was inspired by Judge S. H.
Cowan. Fort Worth attorney, according
to r. o. Mccormack, secretary of the
Fort Worth chamber of commerce, in a
letter to ]. H. Johnston, manager of
the Oklahoma City chamber of COM
nent in several of the rate hearings in
the southwest, having appeared as
counsel for the shippers.
According to the letter from Mr.. Nc
Cormack, the hearing before the COM
merce commission promises to go fav-
orably for the railroads, who are pre-
senting their case. Should the raise
prayed for be allowed, says Mr.. Nc
Cormack, a precedent will be estab-
lished Immediately, which, being used
Immediately, will result in a still more
general raise. Not only this, but the
western Shipping association, the
Texas rate case and the Cattle Raisers'
case, will be interfered with.
BY the meeting September %. it rs
hoped that certain vital facts may be
submitted to the commission before the
investigation closes. These facts, thinks
Judge Cowan, will throw new light on
the matter, beneficial to the shipper,
the consumer and the general public
Facts thus presented will lead the
commission to make a more thorough
examination of railroad methods of ac-
counts and cost of operation and ex-
penditures than will be possible other
WISE" says the letter.
TIL gain from all this it is hoped
will be a forestalling of any kind of a
general raise, which might serve as a
precedent, any increase in rates as ap-
piled to specific articles would not
serve in general sense, and would af-
feet only those freight commodities
named. In other words, the object of
the shippers meeting is to bring about
a compromise.
The communication from Governor
Stubs is addressed to J. H. Johnston,
manager of the Oklahoma City cham
Der of commerce; c. S. Maxwell. traf-
fic manager of the Dallas chamber of
commerce.: H. H. Haines, secretary of
the Galveston chamber of commerce,
J. G. Gibbs, secretary of the Texas
Grain Dealers associa ton, Fort Worth !;
A. w. Reeves. secretary of the cham
b~r of commerce, Ell Paso; George T.
Atkins, traffic manager of the cham
Der of commerce of Shreveport, La,
and r. L. Sangster, traffic manager of
the freight bureau of the chamber of
commerce of Muskogee.
