Philadelphia, November 1s-Attorneys
for the interstate commerce commission,
who are conducting the inquiry into the
rates and practices of the anthracite coal

the subject of transportation facilities.
Having in mind the merits of the COM

the rates charged by the roads are nm
reasonably high the examiners sought to

pared with other commodities.
Operating officials of the Delaware,

led through an exhaustive examination.
They described the methods OF concen-
trating coal at the mines, the movement
of coal trains to tdewater, the tonnage
handled, the grades encountered and the
terminal facilities
Basis for Comparison
The information obtained will be used
by the commission as the basis for com :

rendered and the profits derived in each
case. The question of profits may be
reached tomorrow, il the commission can
finish the examination of operating Of

The question of labor costs at terminals
will figure as an important factor in the

that none of the witnesses examined to-
day was able to supply them memory.
Counsel, however, promised to produce
the figures as well as other statistics
concerning tonnage moved, empty cars
and demurrage delays.
Witnesses Examined
Counsel for the Plymouth Coal company,
one of the chief complainants against
the roads, examined witnesses as to
whether coal cars were always loaded to
full capacity. The witnesses in each in
stance insisted there was no vacant space.

PROPOSES PLAN FOR
STOPPING GAMBLING
IN COTTON FUTURES
J. L. McLaurin Addresses
Committee From Cotton
Exchange = Why Sys-
tenn Is Objectionable

New York, November 1S.-Ex- Senator
]. L. McLaurin of South Carolina pro-
posed a plan for ending Objectionable
gambling in cotton futures In an ad-
dress today to committee from the
New York cotton exchange, which is
considering .changes in the rules to
meet criticisms directed against pres
+, ent methods. Mr. McLaurin said the
failure of Congress to enact legislation
at this session imposing a tax on deal
ings In cotton options was due to the
fact that no plan had been devised to
destroy gambling in contracts. which
does not also involve the destruction
of legitimate business necessary to
keep open such channels of trade as
could not be closed without disastrous
effects.
Present System Objectionable
Mr.. McLaurin said the present sys-
tenn was Objectionable because cotton
prices made on the New York exchange
were based upon the supply of cotton
in New York warehouses. AS this stock
of cotton is only comparatively small
part of the total he said 1t was pos
sible for spectators to manipulate
prices for gambling purposes in a way
which would otherwise not be possi7
| BILE Under present methods contracts
made on the New York exchange call
! for delivery of warehouse receipts for
cotton stored in New York warehouses
Mr.. McLaurin suggesed that the plan
! for a tax on cotton options which was
considered recently by Congress, be
amended to provide for a heavy tax on
all contracts made through all ex-
changes in the United States, provided
| that cotton delivered in the state in
which it is grown be exempt from the
| tax.
| Should Lead Movement
What would you do them he said.
| Your New York stock of cotton would
be absolutely valueless for the pur-
pose of initiating or depressing prices.
You could not afford to deliver cotton
except in the south. Why should not
the great New York exchange get in
the van and lead this progressive move
ment, instead of being driven by a
| congressional lash?'
