Stilton County, tleotgla
Washington, Dee. 14.—Continuing its
inquiry in tlio vital transportation ques
tion. the house steel Investigating com
mlttee ttimoci its attention today to tho
traffic contracts In the Birmingham ore
district.
The commlttco Is attempting to de
velop that tho Birmingham and South
ern railroad, controlled by the steel
trust, has discriminatory traffic agree
ments with the Louisville and Nashville
and other roads, whereby the steel trust
has an advantage. The alleged ad
vantages come thru the division of rates
in the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany district. Addison Smith, vice
president of the Louisville anil Nash
ville, was asked by Chairman Stanley
as-.to the ownership of tho Birmingham
Southern.
"1 understood It was owned by the
Tennessee Coal and iron Company,"
said Mr. Smith. .
Ts It a common carrier?” ,
■It is In the sense that it ls willing
to.accept anybody's freight. Its prin
cipal business is the transportation of
freight for the Tennessee company.”
Mr. Smith said that the Birmingham
Southern operated on a rato allowance
with the Louisville and Nashville for
many voars, but that the Louisville and
Nashville and the Southern railway
finally bought tho lino to keep from
paying the allowance.
•'About 1906 tho Republic Steel Com
pany. which owned the Tennessee com
pany, complained of the service of the
Birmingham Southern nnd tho Republic
demanded that the road be sold to
them, and this xt^ts. done.”
"Why was the demand agreed to?”
asked Me. Gardner..
I don’t know,” replied Mr. Smith.
SOME HOPE STILL LEFT
FOR BRICEV1LLE MINERS
Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 14.—Spurred on
by tho possibility that some of tho
missing may still be olive, in the Cross
Mountain mine, which was wrecked by
an explosion Saturday, despite tho fact
that they havo now been trapped more
than 140 hours, tho relief work went
forward today with redoubled vigor.
Tho condition of twelve bodies recov
ered last night Indicated that tho men
had lived some time after the explo
sion.
O. A. Brown, secretary of tho Knox
vllle Iron Company, who owns the mine,
expressed tho belief that more eur,
vlvors would be found if they had euf-
flclent food to eubslst on.
