Washington that the railroads were not
getting down 20 work in the preparation
OF new freight tariffs. Neither did any
OF them seem to consider seriously tho
news that the Commissioners had taken
rather strenuous exception to recent crit
iciRn on the part of railroad men. espe-
clally tho statement OF President Under
wood OF the Eric railroad, who said the
commission had 'mufred the ball"
Instead Of being derellct in their duty.
as ono of the Commissioners was quoted
as eaying, the railroads have been doing
everything IN their power To prepare the
new freight tariffs called for under the
decision which permits them an increase.
80 President Erb OF the Minneapolis and
St Paul railroad said. and tho Interstate
Commerce Commission knows Il.
an order TO submit our increased freis 4
tariffs" said he, AN immense amount of
labor has been necessary. An increase OF
rates within the territory OF one asso-
citation has made necessary a change in
the tariffs OF other associations. Thi.
IN turn has made joint conferences be e
tween the associations necessary and has
entailed work OF one sort and another
that will cost before II IL completed some
thing IN the neighborhood OF half IA mill :

g. +. DAILY. vice-president in charge OF
traffic for the New York Central Lines,
said that tho Eastern roads not only had
an extra force of men working day and
night on the new tariffs In order TO pre- :
pare them rs quickly as possible but that
they had az well been in frequent confer
ences with Chairman Harlan OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission 80 that
thoro might be- no mistakes In the work.
Mr. Daily said that the commission had
neen fully aware OF the amount OF labor
Involved IN revising tho tariffs and had
been advised OF the unusual efforts on the
part of the roads 10 complete IL. lie
said that the entire labor would take
about two months. which meant that the
