Mr.. Barlow testified that the class
rates between New York and Chicago
were unjust and therefore unreason-
able and that the proposed advances
were not fairly distributed. He said
that the railroad plan put the entire
increase on only 10 per cent. Of the
freight tonnage, while the preteXt of
meeting wage increases applied to 100
per cent. of all tonnage. He said that
the proposed advance put A per cent.
of the burden on the first class freight
and that substantially IS per cent of
the burden rested on shippers of first,
second and third classes of freight. He
estimated that substantially 10 lilo per
cent. of the total railroad tonnage in
the territory affected, would bear the
burden of the advance. He said that
substantially 50 per cent. of the total
increase would be on class rates and
il per cent. on commodity rates. He
contended that the big shippers would

No sea serpent has even been dis

to 500 feet and in thickness from the

The ash can at the side of the play
house was knocked down to a plunger
for 10 cents and pile of ladders and
odds and ends went for a dollar and
closed the sale.
Ackerman of the Chutes made some
purchases under the hammer: Harry
