March

Cross-examination
of
E.
P.
Mallory,
director
of
the
statistical
bureau
of
the
Canadian
National
Hallways,
by
G.
G.
McGeer,
K.C.,
counsel
for
the
province
of
British
Columbia,
occupied
the
time
of
yesterday's
sitting
in
the
freight
rates
hearing.
Mallory
declared
that
the
Canadian
National
handled
grain
traffic
at
an
actual
loss.
When
he
was
confronted
with
the
statement
of
E.
W.
Beatty,
president
of
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway,
in
a
recent
report,
that
his
system
had
handled
grain
traffic
with
a
profit,
lie
declared
that
he
had
no
knowledge
of
the
Canadian
Pacific
operations.
Mallory
said
that
a
large
number
of
mptlea
had
been
.
returning
owing
to
ho
absence
ot
two-way
traffic
but
the
rct
was
established
that.
If
the
com-,
ptany
had
adequate
siding
flcllltles
at
h
coast,
this
lUm
would
be
considerably
reduced.
A
further
point
brought
out
was
that
there
was
