SO STRONGLY insistent Is toe public
demand for an amendment to the psnd'
ing railroad bill, which will prevent Tali'
roads from charging more for short
haul than 70: long one, that hearing
on the subject is to be given by The SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce to-
day. The railroads are fighting The
proposition, but the interior states are so
strongly 70. it that senators representing
them will vote for it. 1t is cont'nded
by the railroads thtt such a provision
will deprive seaport cities aud cities on
WATERWAYS Of their natural advantages.
Obviously this contention is untrue.
What they are really trying to prevent
is any interference with their present
