Question Is a New One.

Ruling on our petition will establish
how far witnesses may go in refusing
to testify" said MIR. Hines. This ques-
ton Is new. In a previous application for
ruling f. II. Hartman was allowed to
decline to testify, but the ground taken
then was that the commission did not
contemplate complaint, but merely was
seeking information on which to base
possible recommendations. This is an en-
urely different case. as there Is no ques-
ton that a complaint may be made on
the basis of this hearing
Mr.. Hines stated that the rebate ques-
ton was involved in the inquiry into
rates and icing charges Of the refrigera-
tor car lines.
Even If these refrigerator cars are
privately owned and are not common car
riers,' he said. '.the commission will in
quire into the rates of transportation to
see II they are reasonable and to ascer-
tain If through icing charges or other
wise rebates may not be accorded"
On the advice of attorneys for the
company Mr. Ellis refused to disclose
details relative to itP financial rela-
tions with Armour & Co.. and its in
come from car rentals, on the ground
that the commission has no jurisdiction
over the Armour car line, as the COM
pany is not engaged in interstate COM
