.Line of As Much Congestion
As Possible
For three honrt yesterday citizens of
Winston-Salem and adjoining territory
matched, argument with t argument
against ether eitireni representing Sal'
lsbury," Lexington, ThomiiTllle and
High Point and tributary communities
before the Corporation Commission in
the hearing ef the petition presented
by the latter eities for the restoration
of Southern trains Nos. 21 and 22 to
their former routing by Salisbury. The
trains for the past three yeare have
been .detonred by Winston-Salem, and
some days will pass before the Com
mission . readers any decision in tne
matter. ',
Not in years has so large a delete
tion presented Itself before ' the -Commission
to lend force to argument for
and agalnat a pending proposition. The
main line cities had more folks pre
ent. mora speakers, and more voluml
nous reasons with whieh to nrga their
claim for the- restoration, but the Twin
City wa largely and ably represented.
The presentation of the main line eities
ease eonsnmed two Hours, and Winston
Salem required 55 minutes for its my
: Removed During War. r
The two trains under question, run-
nine direct . between Goldsboro and
Aaheville, were detonred , in. 1917 at
Greensboro, and ainee that time hare
run by - Winston-Salem, joining the
main line again at Barber, 12 miles west
ef Salisbury. The removal order was
said at the time to be aimed at clear
ing the main line of as much eon
geetlea aa possible in order to facilitate
the transportation of soldier and war
material.. The main line eities were
told at that time that the trains would
be restored at the end of the war, and
made no protect.
It was Winston-Salem's first experi
ence in possessing a through train, and
they liked it so well that they desired
to keep-H- The main Ihrs citiet missed
it sorely, according to their contentious
yesterday, and have been looking to
the railroads to keep the promise made
three year age to restore the service
as it wst in the beginning. - The Winston-Salem
people wer in no wise will
ing for the train to be taken from them
and the light was brought before the
Commission.
. Railroad Satisfied.;
The railroads are against the main
line cities now, and ire very well satis
fied to leave the train where it is, ac
cording to Supt. B. E. Simpson, who
spoke briefly yesterday, and aeeord'ng
to letters read from other officials by
the Winston-Salem . delegation. Rout
ing the train, by the tobaceo metropolis
has proved a very profitable move for
them, it is understood, and tbey want
to keep it there. Resolutions were read
from the "directors of the North Caro
lina Railroad protesting against any
ehange.
Editor 3. J. Farris, of High Point, led
the fight for restoration, with speeches
from citizens from every town along
the main line, and' from territory feed
ing the maiu line through branch lines,
including Albemarle, Asheboro, Badin,
' Norwood, Moeresvilte, Concord, Haa-
napolit and 'China Grove. ' The presen
tation of their case was rounded off by
aa admirably balanced speech by Wal
ter Murphy, formerly speaker of the
House of Representatives.
B. G. Stockton, of the Twin City
Board of Trade, marshalled the forces
of those who would hsve the trains
stay where they are, ably assisted by
Judge Gilbert Stephenson and James
A. Gray. Judge Stephenson opened the
argument, and Mr. Gray finished it off.
There were numerous petitions, reso
lutions, letter and telegrams filed by
.each party to the hearing, and the
Commission itself was in receipt of up
wards of 100 telegrams and scores ef
letters. 7
Hearing Good Natnred
Xotieabl good will characterized the
fight made by both sides, and there
were frequent passages between speak
ers that brought roars of laughter, but
none greater than the burst that greet
ed Mr. Murphy when he assured Com
missioner Pell that Salisbury's retail
t-ade hjl,laeen-.aBgnW-in 1909.
Judge Pell was suggesting that a train
be run out of Salisbury west to ae
eommodate'the shoppers from thst
section who come in on the day trains.
The main line eities made the-point
that a main line Is a main line and that
through trains ought to run on main
linesi that routing the train was a mat
ter of vital concern to the State, as
well as to eities along the route; that
nearly an hour was lost by tha train in
making the detour by Winston-Salem,
and connections were woefully disar
ranged for all -lain line trains at ether
junction points. ' . -
Winston-Salem contended that North
Carolina's greatest eity was entitled to
at least one through train a day, par
ticularly since that eity furnishes the
railroad annual revenue greater than
,ay ether eity in the South, and fur
nished mors passenger travel than all
the maja. line cities concerned. It was
further contended that all of north
western North Carolina is served by the
two trains, which have done more to
bring them into the State than .any
other factor. ..
