Rate Expert James A .LitLle of the
state railway commission, who return
ed the first Of the We. * from Wash
ington, was one Of 26 state represen
tatives who conferred with Director
General McAdUo of the U. 5. railways
at White Sulphur Springs on June 6
At that conference, the order Of the
director general covering increases in
ates and ways and means OF hingins
about closer cooperation between the
federal government and the srate rail
way commissioners was discussed
"TJnde7 the present method OF con
ducting transportation affairs" said
Mr.. Little today, If shipper finGs
that he is injured as result OF a
rate increase he would have to go to
the traffic officer of his railroad com
pany, then to q traffic committee com
posed OF several officers Of the rail
road companies in his territory; then
to the regional director Of railroads
located at Chicago, anG finally to the
division OF public service and account
ing, or to the interstate commerce
commission at Washington. Such q
course of handling affairs would seem
to be very difficult for the small ship
per to follow in presenting his griev'
ance. -,
1T now seems likely tha: the state
railroad commissions will retain THEN
full power to decide many cases when
ordinarily come up before them, and
in other cases will act as the agents

Prices For Grain.
I'm connection with the conference
with Mr.. McAdoo, attention was called
to the fact that the grain producer
will have to pay the increased freight
rates on grain through the reduction
in the price Of grain at his marker.
When Mr.. !McAdoo's attention was
called to the situatiO nhe suggested
that the proper course for the farmer
would be to secure a readjustment OF
the basic price for grain, based on the
increase in freight rates. This Is
matter which should be given the ear

ganizations, as we'll as public officers
