tival will not postpone securing tick
cts too long.

SAME INTERESTS CONTROL.
Great stress is laid upon the in
creased cost of equipment and fuel.
but they don't confess that the same
interests control them all. In four par
ticular steel companies are 65 direc-
tors Forty of these directors are also
directors in an aggregate of 50 rail
roads, which operate 100000 Of tho
grand total of 241.2 miles Of Ameri-
can railways. The railroads combine
with signal success against the ship
pers. Why not against the steel max
ers?
IF congress is really in earnest In
desire TO relieve the plain people. let
it create a companion board 10 the in

resent the consumer as well as tho
shipper"
1t is a fact, as Mr.. Barber says. that
at the present time the consumer is
not represented before the interstate
commerce commission.
