The Schauss Parlor Frame Company, In on open letter commenting upon 

 the action of John N. Willys in writing n letter to the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission endorsing the proposed advance In freight rates, said: 

 •While we are willing to loncide that Mr. Willys" letter probably voices 

 till- feeling In this controversy of the shippers of manufactured goods, 

 suih an assent does not dispose of a more vital question before the 

 American people, namely; 'Are the railroads managed economically?'" 

 The Schauss company adds : "We need the railroads. They must be prop- 

 erly sustained, but those who furnish the sustenance have a right and are 

 now making use of It, to (juestion their management. The railroads have 

 been and still are the greatest force In the advancement of human affairs. 

 They must be Just to their patrons. Here Is an experience we are having : 

 A carload of our goods to a certain point carries a freight charge of ?8!».C0. 

 Our competitors In Chicago get a car of the same kind of goods to that 

 same destination for .^.'S^.-Mi and from Chicago the haul is nearly 200 miles
