VILT IS SAlCK FOR Tllfc CJOOS1 IS SAUCE FOR THK GANDER. f There Is going on now before the Corporation' Commission of Virginia a fight for reduced freight rates in that State. The railroads In that and oth er States go oh Increasing their earn Ings : by ' leaps : and . bounds, but; . the people ret -.no- benefit in the Way' of lower freight -ates. -j '. In the hearing; -In Virginia, the mat ler of the ;operating expenses" figures lhrgely. . .The! Southern Railway General Manager.? Mr. H. B. Spencer, testified that the road's operating ex? penses had increased very buch Thereupon th attorneys representing the railroad went fully into the wasres palii all the I employes in order to show that the! railroad was payins such high wages it could stand no re duction. Indeed, the railroad con tended that the wages paid to labor: ers, engineers firemen, conductors, and other employes had so largely In creased that, instead of reducing rates, the road was hardly able to keep soul and body together. After mnr? test I - money to' that effect, Hon. A. C. Brax tpn, attorney I for the -State, brought from i ' Mr.'t Spencer . the admission that a through freight crew cost only $2.50 more now than, ten years ago, for a one-hundred-mlle run, and that a train ef 10 .tons' In a one-hundred-mile run noy earns $40 more than ten 'years agd. And that was com plete answer ;to the vague claims of big increases-fln wages. The truth Is that railroads have "not increased the pay of their semi) loves much while their earnings have . doubled and . . lMttUIU.nru ,u'n- ' " . ; ' ,w ' I Nobody objec ted when the railroad much . was paid to the other hjgh up .officials, the rail road lawer. Mr ! . . . . ' i inorn almost had a nt, it took a j'Yhom' a' ' ;ueDaie or, fore the more than ha!f a j day be matter was brought to a head. Mr. Thorn in the course of. a vigorous protest against the invasion of the rlghts of the corporation i and ofllcials, said:; "I will gladly lay be fore youc honors the lercentage paid In salaries by., the , read, and It seems to me that 1 Pufflcient. These mat? ters' have always been considered of a confidential nature, by the Southern, for the reasons I have stated, and when no legitimate purpose can be served. I submit that the question need not ; be gone into." I - V . There was! no objection when the made public, no claim that j their pay was "of a confidential nature," but when It wast proposed to See if the "operating eren8es" did not Include extra high salaries, how the lawyers did squirm! But the Attorney Gen eral and Mr.f Braxton held the ralt road men tf the- track and eMeited the amount jald to the men on that which showed ; that Mr. ol - Spencer received 12.000 d year as - . . . . .. . , general manager and the following salaries were f paid to men under him: jcjeneral superintendent, i.t00: me chanical superintendent, $7,500; chief engineer of maintenance and ways, 9S,00Q;j assistant general manager. $6,000; assistant" general eprerintend ent transportation, (5.G5t. Now if if r, Braxton will go on "higher up" he will find thatt other fancy salaries are included in 'Soperatinr expenses." and the ' people are denied just rates be cause of extravagant salaries and ex travagant, management. But the '.Virgin la Commission - has done., well li declaring that "nhat Is sauce ,for tlif lipoose Is sauce ' for the gander." That Is an Important step, for we are but on the threshold of the fight for Jut aid' fair freight and passenger rajes, and before it la ended Important reforms will be se cured Infrairroad management.. - i. i : THEY NEED THE I PACTS. n .

The continued Injury to wholesale business. covering large territory has been de stroyed by , favoritism to Virginia cities and. Norfolk; Richmond. Lynch burg and South Boston have been giv en a rate that glyes them such an ad vantage over Noifth Carolina as to di vert trade that belongs to North Caro lina to Virginia tjwns and cities. This paper has tlmtj u.nd again referred to these ; wrongs, land Its long fight for the bill to give the Interstate Com merce Commission 'power to regulate rates'has been prompted by a desire to see .North Carolina get a "square deal1 the denial of which has prevent ed that large expansion of commerce and manufacturing that Is dependent upon ' fair treatment in transportation rates. J , The best, object leswon of the dis crimination against North Carolina is contained In a remarkably strong and able article written for th-e Oreens- boro Telegram by Mr. K. J. Justice, a leading member of the Greensboro bar. L Mr. Justice in writing for Greensboro, and; his figures speak trumpet- tongued against the damna tion of the discrimination practiced against that and other 'North Carolina citie. We hope) every business man and consumer iii the State will read and ponder the article of Mr. Justice. It Is eloquent .with plain facts and figures. We quote: "My I name having recently been added to the. committee on Trans portation of the Chamber of Com merce, on account or a uiscuiwion. before that body; of a rrimUlon to secure'an additional jsteam railroad Into Greensboro. which dlscuslon caused the president of the. Chamber of Commerce tuifee!:that It would be well to Increase the number who com iosed that committee, and having in transacting somej business for a client of mine, had iny attention called to what I conceive j to h- an outrageous discrimination against Greensboro in the matter of freight charges. 1 have looked somewhat Into the subject ana given the matter some thought. I have concluded that surely the iojle of this city do int understand the extent of the discrimination against them by th? ony railroad that ha lines entering Greensboro, and 1 have concluded further, that if they did un derstand it that they would be aroused to greater activity to get relief from the present situation. 1 belief that If a!! the business men of tms i-lty were to becomej connected wiTh the Chamber of Commerce, and through It make a determined effort to secure railroad eoiinet-tiom: between Greens boro und the Seaboard Air I.lne. or some other lajhrjftjA vfctjeroviT 'W neTetrnr-fr me Tmtnern. tnot a practical way could he found to bring thl.i about. It Mi with the- 1io:m- of se curing oreanicd: effort In this behalf that 1. write this article, and xtute a few. facts which are probably not gen erally known. j A client of mine told me a few days ago that he had shipped from some point In Pennsylvania, a consignment Of iron pipe to Wilmington. N. C, an other consignment to Jacksonville. ia and still another to Greentboro. and that the freight charges per; hun dred pounds to Wilmington were less than the charge. to Greensboro and the charges to Jacksonville. Pla..! were but two or three cents per hundred more than to Greensboro. From re liable sources I have learned that it Is cheaper to ship good from points north through Greensboro, to point south; and from, points west of Greensboro, through Greensboro, to points north, south and east: and from points south of Greensboro, through Greensboro, to points north; west and east of Greensboro, for less freight charges than Is charrred for shipping ine same goods from the same points to Greensboro. A few instances of the exorbitant charges will illustrate the policy that Is pursued by the South ern Hallway towards this city: f From Evansvllle. Ind.. through Greensboro, to ijynchburg. Va.; the cost of freight pejr hundred pounds on class one is 75 'S rents. From Evansvalle. ind t nt-Aona. boro. N.
