Statement of Examiner '
New and Olmmr Bureau
803 District NatioBsl Kink Building,
By K. E. POWELL.
(Special Leased Wire.)
Washington, Oct. 10. Tod.iy aaw the
beginning of the end of the pending
light for better freight rates in North
Carolina. Examiner C. V. Burnside. of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
- filed this afternoon the tentative de
eiaioa in the ease of the Corporation
Commission of North Carolina against
the Director General of the Railroads,
the Atlantis Coast Line and other ear'
riers operating In the 8tare, and reeom
, mended a scale of reduced rates for sp
'-plication between North Carolina and
j South Carolina, pending a general ad'
justinent later.
In this report, Mr. Burnside observes
that rates for the shorter distances be
tween- North Carolina and Bouth Caro
lina are found to be unreasonable; and
rates between Norths Carolina, on the
one hand, and South Carolina, and. the
Southeast, on the other hand, are found
to be unduly prejudicial to North Caro
lina, and preferential to 'the Virginia
cities. '
That is the milk in the eoeoanut, the
thing the Corporation Commission start'
ed out to show the Interstate Commerce
Commission and. in which, they were
joined by a dozen or more commercial
organizations in the State with the sin
gle purpose of removing discrimination
in f regiht rates in order that North
Carolina business interests would have
better chance i-o thxive. . . . .
f- Xi How Rates Will Be Anolied.
'J analyzing tho eeaMof" borliontal
reductions recommended by the examin
r, J. Howard Fishback, who represent
ed th commercial organizations, made
the'fdlTdwinf illustration to snow how
1h new atc proposed by the Examiner
between Net-C-wa-and points
south would be applied, th reduced
scale being Intended to apply to dis
tne in the state of North Carolina as
i well as inter-state shipments in South
Carolina i , - -
"Taking rates from Baleigh. as a ty
pkal shipping point, the reductions
would be about three eents per hundred
for forty mrlet, a reduction of five cents
for eighty miles, fifteen eents for 120
miles, SO eents for 200 miles, fifteen
: cents for 225 miles and ten cents for
distance 225 to 300 miles. -
Will Destroy Unjnst System.
"It means the breaking np of an un
just system of irate making that has
bssn in existence for mora than forty
years. It also opens up to North Car'
olina immense possibilities To. eom
mere by virtue of tha fact that it
elves North Carolln , cities a show
againit tbeir neighboring towns in Vir
rinia."
The tentative report and decision of
the examiner is subject to exceptions
wkwk may be taken either by tha de
fendant carriers or the eomplaining par
ties, tha North Carolina commission or
the chamber of commerce. - Upon, such
exceptions, oral argument beore the
Commission is made and the cat goes
to tha jury second time. In ease the
carriers exespt, Mr. Fisnbaek Wis alter
noon ximeksed tha opinion that tho In
terstat Commerce Commission would go
still further in adjusting tha scale in
favor of the N. C. cities.
. Broader Adjustment Later.
Proceeding with bis observations, the
examiner after recommending seal of
class rates for application between
North Carolina and South Carolina,
pending the determination of a buis
for just ana reasonaora raies ror an me
1 southern territory Involved, says:
"Bates between North Carolina and
- point in the East and North are not
found nnreasonaoie, out rates neiweea
'certain ' North Carolina territory - and
oinU in tha East and North are found
unduly prejudicial to north Carolina
territory and prerersnnai pi Virginia
etc. v.---:,'
- "The reasonableness of rates between
Virginia cities and the southeast la in
issue la docket mo. ww. The Virginian
. interests are represented in that pro
ceeding but hsvo not appeared in this.
It would be improper to defer all relief
to tiis North Carolina shippers pending
the determination of the questions in-
' volved ,a that proceeding and ec others
her Tiised by the defendants. , . ...
- Prompt Relief Passible.
"Th" record indicates that a substan
tial measure of relief can bo given
promptly ' by establishing a - distance
seal of elass rates from North -Carolina
to South Carolina, observing the present
rates to Atlanta and Souther a ' Georgia
as maxima and grading back in anbstaa
tial conformity with the progressions of
the,- central freight association and
" -. nth western scales, a indicated by the
exhibition which compares the present
.rates from Richmond with present and
proposed rates from Raleigh to poults
the Seaboard Air Line.
To Catawba, 8. C for example, the
proposed scale would produce a first
class rate from Raleigh of eighty cents;
Greenwood, 8. C 95 cents, and to
Athena, Cm ilJfl." This will sufficiently
indicate the detail of the scale, which
would apply la either direction, and be
tween points in North Carolina as well
if a interstate points.

Chairman Kenyon said they wanted
to be aure and bear both sides, and
volunteer and voluble interpreters made
it easy, for the foreign born elements
among the strikers to get beard.
At Homestead, Just before the party
arrived, there waa an exchange of shots

two or three bouses in one block, while

Senator. Kenyon tailed ia a steno
grapher to take down some statements
made by Mrs. Joseph Pentedl, wife of
a husky Hungarian mill foreman who
had refused to strike. She had been
visited, she explained, by a committee
of strikers, and urged to get her hus
band to stay away from work. Pentedi

in the hitherto unmatched contrast of
Lieut. B. W. Mayflard, leader of the

pace setter fr the contingent from the
West, either of whom can reach his des

in the cross-country flight.
Captain Smith, however, no longer

two ef his rivals, Lieut. E. C. Kiel ad
Major Carl Sparts overtook him lnte to

three, good fortune attending them,
might easily first reach the finish at

Lieutenant Mavnard. tha "Flying Par

United States for three days ha thrilled
aviation enthusiasts, tonight still easily
led the westbound contingent, although
Capt. H. C. Drayton was a good seepntl,

at 4:13 p. m. mountain tyne, after cov.

Salt Lake City, which would have made
hi day' travel 960 miles, but finally
decided not to attempt the additional

Lieutenant Kiel and Major Spatz, the
Westerners who overtook Capt. Smith
at Bryan, Ohio, 'were nearly matching
Capt. Drayton for they had covered TZi
