ROADS DETERMINED
TO FIX S TATUS OF
RULES ON MILEAGE

CHARLESTON, s. c.. Dec 2S.-Ex-
aminers Ryan and Elder OF the inter-
state commerce commission. today con-
tinued the hearing on mileage book
regulations of Southeastern railroads.
The session probably viii continue
through today. after taking a recess at
IL O'Clock last night. William Schirmer
and II. j. Craig, of the Atlantic Coast
Line and s. H. Hardwick of the South
ern railway have testified so far.
South Cardinals recent law for pull
ing mileage on trains is playing prom
inent part, with Georgia's new regula-
tons also factor.
The railroads are determined to fix
the status on use of mileage books be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion The South Carolina railroad COM
mission holds the mileage book regula-
tons unreasonable and DISCRIMINATORY
The railroads are arguing strenuOusly
TO the contrary, through Attorneys
Thorn, of the Southern, ard Aston. Of
the Coast Line, and the railroads ex-
pert witnesses. South Carolina con-
tends that the ticket exchange rule is
unreasonable, and failure to permit in
terstate trips on intrastate mileage
books is discriminatory.
