Many Rallroadi Involved.
Charleston, I >ec. L'7.?After a delay
?>i more than three houri t?? allow
Attorney General Lyon to arrive here
today to represent ihr railroad com
mission at the hearing on the mileage
books regulations and rules, the Inter?
state commission represented by W.
A. Ryan und H. Elder, epecial exami?
ners in the ahs, n< e of Commissioner
Lane, Who was to hear the case, but
was unable to come to Charleston,
gave a hearing on question Involved
today but it will probably be some
days before the commission will re?
view the testimony and make known
its decision.
The hearing is of much importance
to the railroads of the southeastern
territory, affecting 79 railroads and
the hardest kind of a fight is being
made to sustain the contention of the
roads and prevent an extension of the
present movement.
The heaving waa held in the United
States ccdrt room and the room was
Crowded with lawyers and traveling
men who have special interest in the
case. South Carolina was the only
state which was officially ' represented
at the hearing for it appears to be
only in this State that the pending
questions about the books have been
raised.
In a nutshell the proposition hinges
on whether or not the system of hand?
ling mileage books as employed by
the railroads is a burden to inter?
state commerce and whether or not
there is discrimination in these regu?
lations. The recent act of this State,
making it obligatory for lines in this
State to pull mileage on trains on
intra-state trips, came in for elab?
orate discussion and also the incon?
venience to the traveling public as
urged by Mr. Schirmer, secretary of
a traveling men's organization, of
having an exchange mileage for tick?
ets on making trips, interstate In their
character.
The specific case that opened the
hearing was the necessity tnat Mr.
Schirmer faced on a trip fr~? Char?
leston to Washington of 1
pay the cash fare between
Florence, because he did nol
to M-i h'.s mileage exchange

examination but the examiners up?
held Mr. Lyon and permitted him to
prosecute his investigation further.
Considerable ground was covered
in the hearings. The testimony
moved along familiar lines and Com?
missioners Richards and Hampton
were in frequent conference with Mr.
Lyon in the conduct of the case. The
more important of the railroad oill
cialfl and counsel "had their confer?
ence for a couple of hours before the
< xaminera started to take the testi?
mony. Loth sides have prepared th< .
cases and a: e ready for battle, Whose
outcome will not be known for prob?
ably Borne time to come.
