ranted and unjust. Assistant Attorney
General W. VI. Barrow, who is also at
tOrney for the rail board. has issued
statement explaining the attitude of
the commission and the part it has
played thus far in the fight Of the
states west of the Mississippi river
against proposed advances in freight
rates by the railroads
The Shreveport organization held a
special session adopting resolutions
taking the rail board to task for not
asking tor funds of the Board of IL
GuidatiOn with which to contribute TO
the general fund raised by the shippers
OF the western states to carry on the
freight rate fight. Mr.. Barrow, in his
statement. expresses much surprise
over this action. To show that the
criticism was not warranted, he as
serts tlrat, following letters received
from commercial organizations in
Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Lake
Charles and Lafayette, the Railroad
Commission adopted resolutions pro-
testing against the proposed ;-ivances
and turned these resolutions over to
the assistant attorney general to file
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. These, Mr.. Barrow asserts,
were forwarded 20 Clifford Thorne, of
Iowa, chairman of a committee named
by the shippers of the western states
to handle the fight, and thereafter a
prote.t was filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the name of
