TIRE OF DEFENSIVE ROLE.
Rail- Lines VIII Try to Prove to Inter.
state Probers That Foes Mako
Greater Per Cent Than Do the
Common Carriers.

Chicago, Sept. Profits of private
corporations and firms which are
fighting the proposed raise in rates
of western railroads will be brought
into the hearing before Special Elk
aminers Browne and Hillyer of the
interstate commerce commission II
certain of the railroad officials have
their way. The shippers are fighting
the raise in rates on plea that the
earnings of the roads are excessive,
and the inquiry into the profits of
the private corporations was declared
today to be retaliatory move by the
railroads to show that their earnings
arc not as large as those of many
who are now fighting increased
freight rates.
Roads Tire Of Defensive Role.
"The railroads are tired of being on
the defensive and are going on the
offensive by way of variety declared
well-known official of one of the big
lines. 1.-THE shippers have been de-
claring that the railroads are making
unreasonable profits, when, as mat
ter Of fact, nearly every western road
needs more money than it can get for
ordinary improvements. We know for
fact that some of the concerns in
terested in this protest are making
over 100 per cent. on some of the ar
ticles the freight rates on which are
the subject of this controversy. We
shall demand that they come into
court and show, by way of affecting
the reasonableness or unreasonable
ness of the rates, just what their
profits are. They have always hid
behind the fact that being private
concerns their profits were not pub
lie matters. But when they seek to
fight needed increase in freight
rates we think 1t no more than right
that they should let the commission
ascertain whether or not the in
creased rate will seriously affect
them, in view Of the profit they are
enjoying"
Move 10 Foreshadowed.
The move was foreshadowed in part
when President E. P. Ripley of the
0dutd TS 5yoIcul, Ou Llic SLduu, Qo-
clared that the prices paid to the pro-
ducers and the middleman on the ar
ticles affected should be investigated
by the commission to ascertain just
how large percentage goes to the
railroads.
"The shippers here are making 25
per cent. on an inflated capitaliza-
tion," declared Attorney E. j. Norton,
representing the railroad. 1--WE shall
endeavor to show later that they are
prospecting faster than the railroads"
These statements, taken with the
declaration Of the official quoted
above, are taken to mean that before
the end of the present hearing a for
NAL demand will be made that the
shippers who are fighting the in
crease in rates be put upon the stand
and made to tell just what proportion
of profit they enjoy from the articles
in controversy. The move, II made,
will be an unprecedented one, and the
decision Of the commission examiners
as to whether, in fighting freight
rates alleged to be exorbitant, pri-
:vate shippers may be compelled to
swear to the exact percentage Of
profit they derive from the mooted
traffic will be awaited with interest.
