The %endeavor to spell a permanent agreement for ar
bitration out of these stenographer's minutes upon this
state OF facts. do not care to characterize, although the
COMMISSIONS remark that I'VE have already developed
the fact throws some light upon their mental processes.
Still less do wish to enlarge upon the manner in which
the stenographer's minutes were used at recent hearings.
l understand from Mr.. Cook that his complaint of the
procedure of the Commission was made to it directly. and
Mr.. Maher. whose testimony was not completed. informs
me that his position has not been correctly or fairly rep.
resented.
So much for the allegations that | have either inten.
tionany violated the agreement was in honor bound to
keep. or was so negligent in my duties that | had entirely
forgotten it.
! must apologize for i%ntruding these matters, which
appear SO largely personal, upon your attention. but con-
sidering the character of Mr.. Strauss attack. | feel that
am bound in the public interest to make this reply.
! am, with great respect,
Very sincerely,
FREDERICK W.. WHITRIDGE, President.
