RATE J0CKEYING EVIDENCE
This ls The Feature SO Far Of the
Rate Hearing on Railway Tarins
at Charlotte.

Charlotte - Mr.. Lincoln Green,
freight traffic manager of the South
ern Railway and one of the foremost
experts in the country on the various
elements entering into the fabric OF
rate-making in this territory, spent
practically all of the day on the wit
ness stand before Special Examiner
Richard Eddy, Jr., of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, who is con-
Quoting the present general inquiry
into the rate situation as it relates
to the transportation charges from the
Appalachian coal fields to the Caro-
linas.
Mr.. Green's testimony was largely
technical and dealt with conditions
which he declared existed in this
territory and such as affected the
raigned the contention of Mr.. E. j.
McVan, the noted rate expert of Oma-
ha, Neb., who had argued that the c..
c. & 0. route should be the basis for
fixing the standard rate into the Caro-
lima territory from the coal fields.
This argument by Mr.. Green WAS
submitted at some length and was
given in the form of a pamphlet set
ting forth his contention in writing. It
was incorporated among the records
of the hearing for the consideration of
the commission at the proper time
Generally speaking, there have de-
veloped two features of more than or
binary interest at this hearing. First,
1t has become more and more mani.
fest that the ramifcations of the in
quiry have grown almost beyond the
bounds of the physical endurance of
those conducting the investigation,
tor. although it was originally intend
ed to consider the general fabric of
rate making from the Appalachian coal
fields into the South Atlantic territory
so far only the Carolinas have been
reached and should the states of Geor-
gla and Alabama be taken up, then
the hearing might continue for weeks.
The second outstanding feature of
the hearing has been the unearthing
OF evidence of rate and traffic lock-
eying on the part of the several roads
that has been astounding ii the ship
pers and public generally but which
seems to have been generally known
and understood on the part of the rail.

USE EVERY EFFORT TO GET
PENDING BILLS THROUGH
SENATE THIS SESSION.
NO HALT IN THE PROGRAM
He Believes There is Organized Move.
ment to Bring an Early Adjourn
ment Of the Congress.

Washington. President Wilson
came out with fat declaration that,
despite what he characterized as a
deliberate campaign by certain inter
ests to secure adjournment of Con-
gress and postponement of the admin
istration's trust legislation program,
he would use every influence at his
command to get the pending bills
through the senate at this session.
Choosing his words carefully, the
president disclosed his belief that or
gained distribution of circular let
tiers and kilograms among business
men, members of congress and other
public officials, calling for an adjourn
ment of congress, halt in the trust
bills, an increase in freight rates for
the railroads and rest for business"
was responsible for what he recently
described as psychological depres-
sion."
In support Of that view, the White
House made public copies of letters
and by kilograms brought in by friends
of the administration One letter was
circulated by the Simmons Hardware
Company of St. Louis under date of
June 9. Just prior to that date Presi-
dent Wilson had offered to E. C. Sim
mons, president of that company, a
place on the Federal reserve board
And now, just before the president
expressed his views on the trust pro-
gram, it was announced that Mr.. Sim
mons had declined the appointment
and that Charles S. Hamlin. of Boston,
would be nominated in his stead.
White House officials emphatically
denied that the Simmons letter had
anything to do with the declination of
the appointment. 1t was said, how
ever, that the president did not know
OF the letter when he offered Mr..
Simmons the place
The presidents declarations and the
publication Of the letters created
mild sensation, approaching that
which followed the "President's de-
nunciation Of the insidious lobby"
which, he said, was threatening the
tariff bill last year." Senator'S and
Representatives discussed the situa-
ton, but no action was taken.
