Washington, Dec. 10 - A n investí-
gat ton of the operations and manage
ment of the railroads controlled by
James J Hilland associates, including
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern
and C hicago, Burlington & Quincy is
in contemplation by the Interstate
Commerce commission. After certain
preliminaries have been arranged and
counsel for the commigeion selected,
formal announcement of the proponed
inquiry will be made.
As in the cage of the proposed inves
tigation of the Southern Pacific and
l nion Pacific railroads of the llarrim an
system, the inquiry is not the outgrowth
of any specific complaints of violations
of the interstate commerce law, hut it
is to be undertaken by virtue of the
general inquisitorial powers conferred
upon the commission by congress.
The inquiry will be broad and com
prehensive, with a view to ascertaining
the exact condition of affairs regarding
the railroad’s compliance w ith the in
terstate commerce act. A member of
the commission, in speaking of the pro
posed inquiry, said:
“ Although there has been outward
compliance with the decree of the Su
preme coqrt in dissolving the Northern
Securities company, yet there has been
no difference in the rates given upon
the ui.ited system.”
