Criminal indictments of Large
Shippers and Carriers are He-
turned
WASHINGTON, April 2.—-—investiga-
tion by Commissioner Harlan of the
Inter-state Commerce Commission in
to the practice of Colorado railroads
of giving free transportation, has
brought sensational results. Criminal
indictments of large shippers and the
offending carriers have been return
ed.
Commissioner Harlan personally
conducted an investigation and, in his
own characterization of the situation,
he developed violations of the law on
an extraordinary scale."
Mr. i-larlun says in a preliminary
report handed down today that “in
one month over a single railroad, sev.
en thousand trips were made on pass.
on. N}. 93in shippers who controlled
rout “‘ef.,trafnc in any appreciable
alike of duty, morals, and danger, ac
copied, ’evtini demanded these favors
the carriers:
"The record shows that judges,
state officials, members of ‘tlie legis-
lature, county'and municipal officers,
including mayors and alderman, have
very generally made use of passes.
Not only has this been the case, but
'the record shows that where passes
were not volunteered they were ask-
ed for by public officials. Even
Judges have not hesitated to pursue
this course. Personal requests by
judges upon carrleis for passes are
by expressions of their sense of obli-
gation for such favors granted to them
both before and after they went to
the bench.
“All classes Joined in the orgy of
petty graft, at once sacrificing right
ful revenues of the carriers, discrim-
inating against all small shippers and
demoralizing all public officials,‘in-
cluding the legislature and the bench."
. Commissioner Harlan says that the
Chlorado carriers have given ensue
ance that they will conform their in
ture practices to the ruling; of the
commission in pass matters.
-The quickest way’to cover the
ground is to sit still and telephone.
