test against the ordinance boost
ing the express car fee from so cents
To SO per ear, when the judiciary
committee OF the common council met
Monday, morning, to discuss the
measure, as prepared by corporation
Counsel Lawson. The Board OF Com
merce was strongly in evidence, how
ever, and both by letter and by word
OF mouth the association begged the
committee not to molest the ID. u. X.
in any way as far as its freight busi-
ness Is concerned.
A. III. Zenner, chairman OF the trade
Promotion committee of the Board of
Commerce, was the spokesman for
that body's delegation. Others In the
party were Arthur T. Waterfall, chair
man OF the transportation committee,
and Assistant Secretary Will b. Wre-
lord.

mistake IN not fixing the fee at $40
per car instead OF $40"
Mr.. Van Zandt, it was noticed. took
no part in the discussion in the com.
mittee hearing. He was there merely
TO report what took place.
Aid. John Thompson also gave the
Board OF Commerce representatives
little dig.
Your orators got out on the stump
and told the people that it was up TO
the council TO tame the ID. u. r. he
said. Now. when we are trying TO do
something. you come in here and try
TO call us or"
In addressing the committee, Mr..
Zenner explained that he appeared in
the interest of the shippers who use
the freight cars. and did not want TO
