Ube flJlornhig Star. J- WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON. N. 0. Friday Morning, March 31. TO INVESTIGATE THE RE FRIGERATOR CAR LINES. .We learn from the New York Journal of Commerce and Com mercial Bulletin ' that the Inter state Commerce Commission will resume at Chicago on the seventh of May the investigation of the private car line abuses which, was begun with fruitless results last October. It is to be hoped that jthis investigation will bring out and establish by conclusive evi- fence the actual facts, which have een the subject of contradictory statements since the inquiry of jlast fall, and that it will furnish koine basis for legislation ETA E cial action to remedy the evils comDlained of. Enough trust- worthy information has been al ready elicited to support the be lief that -the private .car compa nies have been the means of keep ing alive ja pernicious system of rebates wjiich has-been the chief inciting , cause for a 'misdirected agitation jn favor of Government rate-making. The railroads de clare that' they have not granted rebates to shippers, but have been forced to make contracts with the car companies for the use of "cer tain kinds of cars for - carrying live cattle, dressed meat, t dairy products, j fresh fruits and vege tables, and other articles requir ing refrigeration or other special provision,! paying certain mileage rates therefor. The companies thus paid for the use of their cars make their own charges to ship pers for iceing, etc., and vary these to suit themselves and grant rebates to favored shippers if they see fit. Their claim is that they are not themselves common carriers and . are .'not engaged in interstate commerce, and i- there fore the law against unreasonable rates, rebates and discrimination does not apply to them. Between the plea of the railroads that they do not own the cars but : pay a fixed contract rate for their use, and that! their own charges are reasonable and without discrimi nation or rebate, and the plea of the car Companies that they are not subject to the law, the ship per findsi himself the victim of ex tortation or of an unjust discrimi nation and apparently without redress. ; These car companies are mostly subsidiary to the packing compa nies or, other corporations . en gaged in producing and shipping the commodities which they car ry and "are xwned by therm, It is said that some of them virtual ly force railroads to make year ly contracts to use' their .cars yearly contracts to use their cars exclusively for the traffie to which they are adapted at cer tain rates by threats to sendltheir own products ovej other lines if their terms are not agreed to. The railroads, having no cars of their own for that special kind of ser vice, have, to accede to their terms or lose the traffic, not only of those controlling the car compa nies,, but of others who have to use their cars: The making of such contracts is in itself a dis crimination, as it excludes aiiy rival : car owners from the ''i liaes affected. The payments for the use of the ears, in so far as tiiey are profitable, 'ae in -effect a re late upon the f wight charges. Ur carrying the commodities of the . car owners and give them an ad vantage over Competitors in the same business. It is" saiJ that certain packing companies which control j their own. ear companies increase this advantage by going into the business of buying dairy products, fruits, etc., and shipping them in their own cars. Then there is the charge for ref riff erat. ingrfor others which they can us to discourage or suppress compe wuercver it -is ior tneir in terest orf profit to do so. j It ' is said that they obtain larg ship ments or the exclusive . business of certain fruit-growing associa tions y granting heavy rebates from the. regular .charges. In the particular case upon which ' ..investigation was started it ' was alleged - that - unreasonable rates were charged for refrigerat- ing cars carrying fruit Michigan to Eastern cities. from - Commenting upon, the facts about the private car line monop- ly the Journal, ot. Commerce and Commercial Bulletin says: ' ' It 'cannot be said that the" va- rious charges and allegations in regard to wrongs and abuses in this , private . car business t . have - been proved, but much', evidence hs been adduced in their support and more is ready.to.be brought forward. . Whatever . the"'! actual facts may be, it' is obvious, that -. thii is a matter calling for regu lation and a, clearer definition, of legal rights and obligations.-' Sev ! - pers and. railroad companies, and V 11 a'Ua-ma1' ltA raenATlci- escape aix siittxcj iii bility of observing the law which requires that all interstate trans portation 'shall f be subject only to reasonable r rates and forbids unjust discrimination ': and the granting or receiving of rebates! It is important to have these ques tions answered j and ' if the law cannot i no Wj be so applied as to remedy such abuses as are proved to exist, it should be adjusted for the better, accomplishment of its nurnoses .when! Congress meets again." j ;- - The . berry growing and truck producing ; region around Wil mington is immediately and se riously concerned in the investi- crntirm nf this feature of transDor- tation. The investigation at Chi cago will therefore be watched with keen interest.. , is MUNICIPAL EXPANSION. Richmond, Va., and Columbia, S. C, . are agitatfng expansion, which means the extension of the corporate limits so as to take in suburban communities. , The am bition ofrthosej within the parent municipalities is to make a better showing ", in .population, add the outlying industries to the list of manufacturing concerns within, and in other particulars to contri bute to the pretentiousness and actual importance of the city. .There is no doubt that , the ex pansion plan will prove quite ad vantageous to a ' city"? in - many ways, but most of the outside communities dread the paying! of the higher city tax rate. If, how ever, they "are given the benefit of the city utilities, share fairly; in the expenditure for improvements and; are actually treated as a part of the city, the suburban people ought to jump at the opportum-J ty to be taken in. By not oppos ing expansion the 7 suburbs have the chanee' of their lives to make a treaty with: the city, guarantee ing a quid pro qHO for their sur render of rural existence. We rather think !' the spreading out idea for a municipality is a good one. In fact it is the only way that any great city, has ever grown. I.".- i . ; Brother Wade . Harris, of the Charlotte Chronicle, has . been preaching expansion for that live North Carolina ' city and itis said that a scoop of the suburban com munities, already in reality a part j-of Charlotte,1 will give that ambi tious city a population of 35,000.
