RAILROADS MAY
QUIZ SHIPPERS
Defendants in the Freight Rate
Hearing Threaten to Change
Their Tactics
Intimate Unfair Desire for Profit
on the Part of Raise
Champions

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Coincident with
the closing of the testimony for the
Santa Fe system before the special .ex-
aminers for tRe Interstate commerce
commission and the statement from
the roads statitician that the, in
creases in freight rates would net the
Santa Fe only $94 900 increase yearly
in earnings, theer came a suggestion
today that the railroads now on the
defensive in the fight change their
tactics and seek to compel the ship
pers who oppose the advance in the
freight rates to declare HON much they
profit ON the different commodities un-
der considerations.
When the initial presentation of the
contentious of the Santa Fe system
was concluded the hearing was trans
ferred to the Rock Island road.
The first witness at the afternoon
session was w. A. Poteet, chairman of
the trans Missouri freight bureau. He
presented q compilation of the rates
in effect in the territory west of the
Missouri river. The tables showed
both the class and commodity rates and
included the years 1900 to 1910.
Attorney John II. Atwood of the ship
pers questioned Poteet concerning the
method in which the rates were raised
and asked for the names of different
representatives OF the railroads VINO
were present when the order changing
the freight rates was decided on.
Atwood also asked if the railroad rep
resentatives on that occasion considered
an injunction issued by the federal SUI
preme court in 1907 prohibiting any
agreement on rates TO be charged by
the trans Missouri roads. The witness
answered that the injunction was not
discussed or considered.
Vice President +. o. Melcher of the
Rock Island company was questioned
by Attorney w. S. Dickinson, counsel
for the road He offered in evidence a
table showing that increases in wages
paid in the operating department of the
road amounted in 1906 and 1907 to So2S,-
600; in 1907 and 1908 to S1,314,0OO; in
1908 and 1909 to $1,314 900; in 1909 and
1910 to $1,451, 900 and in 1910 and lsll
he estimated the increase would total
$2.465,00 and in 1911 and 1872 the es-
timated increase would be $2,612,OO0.
Melcher commented on the leg1sla-
tive measures that had increased the
cost of operating the railroad.
u do not object to the safety appil-
ance law" said Melcher. "It is a good
thing but it does not save money. We
have to have as many men on train
now as before the automatic brake
was installed. The hours of labor bill
is very proper: bill, but 1t has re-
uuired more men and an increased eX-
penditure Other required regulations
have been good but they all cost
money to us as we'll as the increased
cost of operation. Altogether l should
saw that the increased volume of trait
fic has not kept pace with the increased
cost of operation.
