 Ut is charged that the railways and concerns from which they buy fuel, materials, supplies and equip ment are under the same financial control, and that, in consequence, the railways pay excessive prices to these concerns. Every railway buys ma terials from literally thousands of different coal. iron and steel. lum- her and equipment companies all over the country and the charge that the railways and all these concerns are rnder the same financial control is absurdly untrue.
 Even if they were under the same control this would not prove that the railways pay excessive prices, and indisputable facts regarding almost jnnumerable transactions of the pur- chasing departments of the railways could be presented to show that they do not and have not paid higher prices than other purchasers Of the same things.
 .Everything the railways buy, ex- eept labor, has been reduced.
