hcarlng ] on the subject of railroad
legislation , judge S. II. Cowan efFort
} i'Ol'tVorth , Tex : , advocated ( several
amendments to the Interstate coni
coerce act as a method of reaching
com lnatlons or railroads to fix joInt
rates. .
E. 1\ [ . Ferguson , who represents
fruIt and vegetahle shllllmg associa-
tions , made a brief speech In favor
of the ElkIns hili. He protested
against dlgcrlmlnationG In favor of
concerns operating private refrigera-
tor t cars , and charged that these own-
ers get rates of from $100 to $ 'L00 less
per ) car than other shippers , and there'
fore were unfaIr competitors.
Judge Cowan , representing several
cattle growers' associations , who was
heard hy the house commIttee repeated -
lOated ) charges of discrIminations In
carr } 'lng cattle to northern poInts ,
saying that there was an agreement
between the railway companies which
fixed joint rates hetween various
points.
Judge Cowan said that no cattle
shipper was dIscriminated agaInst ,
but that comllOtlUon on rates had dls-
appeared ) by reason of combination of
. railroads and the rates had been advanced -
vanced to many ponts.
The Sherman law , ns a means of
reaching comhlnatons and conspIr-
acies of that character , was held to
he sufficient by Senator ElkInS' lIe
declared that the United States r1\s- \
trI't attorney could proceed under

Judge Cowan said he was under the

should be Instituted under the Sherman -
man law. Senator Carmacl : tool { the

Judge Cowan suggested an amend

such discI'lmlnations. The act make
