Mr.. Sloan testified as to what
effect the proposed change would
have on tourist travel over the
new Red Lodge-Cooke City road,
He stated that the railroad
would provide such service as was
required should the situation war
rant it, but at the present time, he
stated, his company had not made
arrangements or plans as to just
how this would be carried out. He
declared that the situation would
be handled when the time came
for doing so.
City Opens Testimony
First to testify in the city's be-
half was Mayor G. A. Jeffrey.
He declared that he was opposed
to the change because the new
schedule could not be carried out
in the winter time. 81 always
travel by train" he told the COM
missioners, because when / go
somewhere | want to be sure that
/ am going to get back" Mr.. Jeff
cry declared that the present SER
vice was satisfactory to him and
believed that the sentiment in Red
Lodge favored retaining it. He
said that his hardware firm here
patronized Mr.. Hoy and found it
satisfactory and that he had heard
no complaints from others about
Mr.. Hoy's service.
The city then called NJ. H. Mann
to the stand. Mr.. Mann stated that
he was manager of the Red Lodge
Canning company and that his
company depended upon prompt
carload shipments to satisfactor-
lily conduct its. business. The two
day a week rail freight service
offered by the railroad under the
new schedule, he said, would not
supply his needs and his company
would eventually have to look for
a new location where prompt
freight service was available.
Fl. G. Olcott was next called to
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1934-10-24

ials at Billings, that the subject of
the discOntinuance of the Red
Lodge train had come up in the
conversation and that he had ask
ed the officials if he could help
them in any way. They replied
that they had a petition prepared
that they would like to have cir
culated in Bearcreek and that he
had offered to do it for them.
Continuing his testimony, Mr..
Freeman testified that he was in
favor of the proposed change and
that the sentiment of the people
in Washoe and Bearcreek also was
in favor of it.
The final witness that the rail-
road placed on the stand was AL
bert Budas who stated that he was
a Banker at Roberts and was also
president of the Roberts Elevator
company. Mr.. Budas stated that
he was in favor of the change and
that there was some sentiment in
Roberts also in favor of it. Asked
as to whether or not he patronized
Mr.. Hoy's service, he replied that
the Roberts Elevator company did
business with Mr.. Hoy and hat
there was no complaint to be made
about it. He also stated that he
had heard no complaints about
Mr.. Hoy's service from among
other Roberts merchants.
Sloan and Challoner Recalled
Mr.. Challoner and Mr.. Sloan
were then recalled to the stand.
Mr.. Challoner presented petitions
signed by residents of Billings,
Laurel, Silesia and Rockville ex-
pressing themselves in favor of
the change in rail service to this
city. Mr.. Challoner admitted that
the petitions in Billings, Laurel
and Silesia were circulated by the
station agents of the Northern
Pacific at those places, and that
the Rockville petition had been
circulated by a Mr.. Wiley.

freight shipments and that, when
his company selected Red Lodge
as the site for its plant, it had
looked into the freight service
offered here and found it adequate
for it's needs. However, he said,
had it known at that time that a
change in the service was contem-
plated by the railroad, a site
would have been selected else
where.
He pointed out that his COM
pany would require frequent car
load shipments in order to oper-
ate. In fact, he said, it was inn
perative that an adequate freight
service be available because,
should his company be forced to
suspend operations because of the
lack of raw materials, government
regulations called for the collec-
ton of a $1,000 fine for every
such suspension and his company
could not survive many violations
of this regulation. Once operation
starts at the company's plant, he
declared, it must be continued and
a twice weekly freight service
would make such operation ex-
tremely hazardous.
o. H. P. Shelley was next call
ed to the stand by the city. He
stated that he was a local news
paper publisher and was familiar
with the transportation facilities
in Red Lodge and the sentiment
here toward the proposed change
in such facilities. This sentiment
he declared, favored retaining the
present service. 1t was his belief
that an adequate highway bus and
truck service could not be supplied
this city in the winter and spring
months. He stated that this city
was growing and would continue
to grow and that the service pro-
posed by the railroad would be a.
detriment to the cityis future.
Mr.. Hoy then took the stand in
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1934-10-24

The railroad next called Doug
las Mcdonald to testify in its be-
half on the stand. Mr.. Mcdonald
stated that he had been the Joliet
manager of the Northwestern Dis
tributing company for the past
five years and that his company
did considerable shipping. He test
flied that the proposed change
was favorable to him and would
facilitate his company's business.
He stated that his company did
little business with Mr.. Hoy, but
also testified that he had never
heard any complaints about Mr..
Hoy's service.
Freeman Testifies
The railroad company then call
ed James Freeman to the stand.
Mr.. Freeman stated that he was
manager of the Montana Coal and
Iron company at Bearcreek. He
presented a petition signed by coal
miners working in his company's
Smith mine asking that the pro-
posed change be made. The city
declared the petition had no bear
ing on the matter at hand as Bear
creek was not on the branch line.
Mr.. Freeman said that about so
per cent of the miners made their
home in Red Lodge.
Isn't it true that Mr.. Challon-
err gave you this petition and di-
rected you to circulate it among
the miners? ?" Attorney Skinner
asked.
at is not', answered Mr.. Free
man.
"Then where did you get it?"
81 got it from Mr.. Overman."
Mr.. Freeman was referring to j.
w. Overman, district freight and
passenger agent for the Northern
Pacific at Billings.
And you circulated this petit
tion?"
mo, my mine foremen circulat-
ed it."
"Under intimidations that the
miners would lose their jobs if
they did not sign?"
The railroads attorneys violent
ly objected to the latter question
but their objections were over
ruled. Mr.. Freeman declared that
the miners had not been threaten
ed to make them sign the petition.
Mr.. Skinner next asked: isn't
it true that your mine has a large
coal order from the Northern Pa
cific Z" Mr.. Freeman replied that
the statement was correct.
"And isn't it true that the oper-
alton of your company's coal mine
depends upon the N. P. coal or
der?" Mr.. Freeman admitted that
his company could not very well
operate the mine on its present
scale without the order.
"Well, then, when you were
given this petition, was it intima-
ted that your company might lose
the coal order unless this petition
was presented here today?"
The railroad objected to the
question but was o~verruled and
Mr.. Freeman declared that the
statement had no foundation in
fact. He told the commissioners
that he had met the railroad offic-

his own behalf. He said that he
was now operating a truck line
between Billings and Red Lodge
and had been doing so for the past
ten years. His line, he declared,
started operation with one truck
and at the present time had five.
He estimated his investment as it
stands today at $4,000 and said
that he would be forced out of
business if the railroad was grant
ed permission to compete with
him on the highway.
Submit Affidavits
Mr.. Jeffrey and Mr.. Shelley
were then recalled to the stand
and gave further testimony in the
city's behalf. The protestants then
presented the names of 40 wit
nesses who could not attend the
hearing but were willing to do so
if called upon. Affidavits were
produced in their behalf. The
witnesses represented residents of
Red Lodge, Roberts, Boyd and
Joliet. The commissioners de-
clared that it would not be neces-
sary to have the witnesses appear
and accepted the affidavits as
evidence in the matter.
In the final minutes of the hear
ing L. d. Brill of Missoula, who
told the commissioners that he
represented the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, was allowed to
take the stand. He stated that the
brotherhood was opposed to all
such applications made by rail-
roads to operate on the highways.
He said that such changes reduced
employment among railroad work
ers and cited other harmful eff
fects such changes created when
allowed to take place.
Commissioners presiding over
the hearing in Red Lodge Thurs
day were Francis A. Silver, Sec
rotary and advisor; Tom Carey
and Leonard E. Young.

could be operated at a saving of
$1,000 a year to the company.
Attorney Skinner inquired of
the witness whether the saving to
the company was the main reason
for its wanting the change or
whether it was actually the COM
pany's desire to give better SER
vice to the public. The witness re-
piled that it was both.
Arguments Brought Out
Some arguments were brought
out in Mr.. Sloan's recitation of the
company's figures. He told the
commissioners that the figures
cited included only those for the
Rocky Fork branch of the COM
pany which is the line serving Red
Lodge. Consequently, the wit
ness said, the figures included
only the revenue and expense Of
this line which extends from Red
Lodge to Silesia, the latter not
being included in the account as
it was served by other lines of the
company.
The city insisted that the train
was operated between Red Lodge
and Billings and that figures for
the entire run should be SUBMIT
ed, as the train did a volume of
business beyond the Silesia sta
ton. The company declared that
it had no figures to show for the
operation of the train between
Billings and Silesia. However,
upon the insistence of Attorney
Skinner, the commissioners direc-
ted the railroad to supply the fig
ures in question.
Challoner's Testimony
The afternoon session opened
with Mr.. Challoner taking the
stand for the company. He reiter-
ated the reasons given by Mr..
Sloan for the company's desire to
make the change. Mr.. Challoner
then testified that he had talked
with business men in towns served
by the line and said that their
sentiment was in favor of the
change. Attorney Skinner asked
of the witness if he was aware
that Mr.. Hoy was now serving
towns along the company's branch
line with a freight service. Mr..
Challoner replied in the affirm
alive.
t'In talking to these business
men you spoke of a minute ago.,
the city's attorney asked, "did you
hear any complaints against Mr..
Hoy's ~service?" The witness de-
clared that he had not.
Attorney Crippen then asked
Mr.. Challoner whether or not the
Inauguration of a truck service by
the railroad would not force Mr..
Hoy out of business. The witness
replied that it was his opinion
that the railroad freight service
would operate at less rates than
Mr.. Hoy could offer and conse-
quently would eventually force
Mr.. Hoy to suspend operations on
his truck line.

DR.. Alvah r. Lauer, Of Iowa State
college, says about the physical short
eomings of apparently normal people.
Clarity OF vision is merely ~ Of
the qualities of normal eyesight. A
secondary quality is width Of the
Geld Of vision. Normally, a person
looking straight ahead detects the
presence of a car when It pulls up
beside him, but some do not become
aware of it until It moves ahead. Ex-
treme sufferers from narrow vision
are said to possess tunnel vision, but
many persons have less than the nor
NAL field of 1856 to 1876 degrees and
do not suspect the fact.
Depth Of vision also Is necessary
to safe driving. This means that the
man behind the wheel must not only
be able to see a a in the road
but must be aware of whether 1t Is
travelling with him. standing still, or
coming toward him, and approximately
how fast. Depth perception is linked
with another point, eye dominance.
Many people who get headaches
when they are tired do SO because
they are seeing out Of only one eye,
although they do not know It. Two
eyes are needed for three-dimension
sight.
Color blindness is a common and
widely recognized fault. Another
thing needed for safe driving Is
strength In the hands for emergency
use; there must also be the ability.
to Judge speed Of movement, and the
right amount Of awareness to sudden
noise. All these and many other
abilities are part Of every persons
makeup in varying degrees. We rec
ognize them by saying a driver is
alert, or capable. observant. quick.

which particular combinations Of
perception and nervous control pro-
duce these desirable qualities. 1t
goes without saying. however, that q

cies can take steps to compensate for
them.-Detroit Free Press.
