great number Of shippers in Rich

posed to the increase in the rate. Mr..
Hotchkiss presented evidence to show
that every state through which the
Chesapeake and Ohio passes has al
lowed the Increase with the exception
of Virgiria, Indiana and Illinois. Inc
States which have given the rate are
West Virginia, Kentucky. Ohio. Penn

I'VE realize that with low rates In
Virginia we are helping the Virginia
shippers. and aiding in building up
the commercial industries said Mr.
Hotchkiss.
AS an illustration of the condition

the rates now prevailing, Mr.. Hotch-

than Richmond and Norfolk, at a
greater distance.
Baltimore is distant from Clifton

The witness clearly stated that the
low rate in Virginia was maintained
specially to encourage the merchants
In Virginia in purchasing their goods

than sending to Baltimore or other
