Thqy "made arrangements with each offices nWitjfout telling him what its neighbor1 was getting. , The matter had come up in Virginia; and the committee there had decided it was legitimate evidence. . He had ' go&o to the attorney Tor that, committee atii ba4.told him what the salaries were and hat attorney had said it would have no bearing on the case and expressed- his surprise at what they .were. This committee had North Carolina's' proportion of those salaries , in their commission's ' re port and '3dJl$ let the entire aggre gate of the salaries paid from the report of - the Interstate commerce commission at any time they desired it.

"It was, but I did not carry the figures In my mind. , If the commit tee wants that information,' it can get It." " Senator Holt asked why the peo ple of all states were asking for re duction of rates. . . "It is due to the desire of all peo ple tO get something for - toothing, and a lack of appreciation ' of the conditions and want Of knowledge of what the companies are .earning.';' f V Whose, fault was that." - V " 'It; may be the fault of the rail roads, but if a railroad man were to try to reach' the people In a stat campaign, he would, be driven irom the face of the state, and the feeling wpiildu be mora bitte Jhaji ever against the railroads."' Mr. Tount asked to - what - that sDirlt was due. V-' "To the bad service the people nre getting," Mr. Thorn said f rankly, '. "If that Is so, how about the policy of keeping other roads out? "You heard President .Finley say yesterday, that; was not the policy of the Southern Railway.-"- 4 n" ' "In former days,"j 'continued Mr. Thorn, "there ' were great railroad fights, but that was due to the lim ited amount of business. The policy now is toglve the people- the facili ties, they want," . Senator Holt asked if there were not some sort of understanding among -the roads about division Of territory. Mr. Thorn.- said all he knsw about that was that no road wanted to do anything' that might be unnolghborly This ' phase of . the discussion brought up the Barr letter, and Mr. Thorn said he had been informed by th general counsel for the Seaboard Air Una that Mr. Barr simply meant that he would expect leprl- anything had been said by the South- jern about It, . 1 ' Mr. Thorn spoke at length on tlje subject of Denallzins the ' roads for (non - performance of public obllga- uuua, 1 un m nan ihiiu a u iini irui, us. all claims on .presentation.
