ing facilities connecting the plant
with the railroad. and i'm hundreds of in
stances the trackage of these switch
yards is several miles long. Generally the
switches join the plant with two or more
competing lines.
Prior to the passage of the law pro-
hihiting the payment of rebates on
freight shipments, many of these
switches were operated merely as part of
the general pant which owned them.
After the at went into effect, however,
many a manufacturer called his switch
yard railroad system and incorporat
ed it separately under high-sounding
title, the entire capital stock remaining
in his ownership.
Then the new railroad would file its
schedule of freight tariffs with the inter-
state commerce commission just like a
real common carrier. After this was
done, the railroad would claim 1t was
a feeder to the trunk lines with which it
connected. and on that ground would de-
mand eXorbitant division of the
through freight rates.
I'm reality the switchboard was just as
much a switchboard as it ever had been;
its ownership was unchanged: and every
division of rates which 1t extorted over
and above a reasonable switching charge
amounted to forced rebate from the un.
fortunate railroad. Inc latter would
have to yield to the shippers demands,
however. because it had to have his
freight and If it wouldn't. stand for the
allowance, the shippers entire tonnage,
which in many cases amounted to over a
thousand cars a month, would be di-
verified to a competing line
One of these railroads was found by
Mr.. Esterline to get as much for showing
a line of cars few hundred feet to the
railroad tracks as the railroad got for
hauling the same cars for $50 miles,
Another railroad" which received more
than $40 a car as a division of the
through freight rate for switching trains
over distance of less than mile, was
hauled before the interstate commerce
commission, which ruled that it was en-
titled only to switching charge of 81. 80
car. 1t Is estimated that the aggregate
amount paid as division of the through
rate by the regular railroads to
such little industrial Lines as these
amounted to not less than $1OO,OOO,OO a
year.
One of the hardest little known prob
lens which. the new Attorney General

bet "a 10 nothing and put up both end )
of the bet that I've seen a more un-
usual play than any man in Washing
ton.
1t was up in the New England
League. where i was pitching for New
Haven in a game between that team
and Hartford. The first act Of the
comedy or tragedy. according to which
side you are on. came in the opening
inning when Miller. the Hartford first
baseman, slid into second, and in some
strange fashion ripped the front of his
right trouser leg from the waist about
half way down to the knee. After
that the game went along pretty un-
eventually, except that we were two
runs behind. when we came up for the
last time in the ninth

ment. Another expedient, expressly all-
thorized by the laws of some states. is
for the interested party to confess .judg-

been accused of some offense pay off the
judgment and then have the laborer
bound under contract made under the
supervisor of the court to work out the

such laws is now in process of being
tested by the department.

furnish the most interesting reading
which can come out of the legal records.

is unusually rich.

title to these lands has been carried three
times to the highest state and federal
courts. but no final Judgment could be
had until the United States itself took a
part.
However this contested fortune of
S.3OO,OD amounts to very little compared
with the amount involved In some of
the other land suits which Mr.. Mercy
nolds will be called upon to bring to a
conclusion. The largest recovery Mr..
McReynolds is now attempting to make
involves lands owned by the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company and others
claiming under it. Among these lands

mia, said to be of value exceeding $500.

most half of the national debt at sin

Another lost-treasure hunt that holds
out vast possibilities is the suit. now up
to Mr.. McReynolds to press, which the
government has against the Oregon and
California Railroad Company. This suit
involves all those lands granted in 1866
and 1870 as a government subsidy to help
build the railroad that remained unsold

instituted in 1911. still held by the rail-
road. This suit involves about 100 900
acres of land. worth about s50OO0.OOO.
FOrtyfive other suits have also been
brought against certain purchasers of
the same lands in large quantities in
violation of the restrictions imposed by
the granting acts. These latter suits
involve approximately 100000 acres or
land. worth about s15.OtO.O00. The i'm
mediate object of all these suits is to
enforce forfeiture 10 the United States
the provisions CO the granting acts re-
stricting the manner of selling the lands

But the money at stake i'm all these
proceedings pales into insignificance be-
side the huge amounts that the govern

railroads suffering from the eXtortions of
the railroad rebater. OF all the devices
used by big shippers for the purpose of

certainly one of the most costly to the
