RaiIroadePs Gain Important Con-
cessions From the House Com
mittee.
The house committee on railroads
held a protracted meeting at the Ryan
last evening.
w. S. Mellen. general manager of the
Northern Pacific, delivered an able and
exhaustive argument before the COM
mittee requiring roads to equip their
lerS and air brakes. The ad-
dress was characterized by fair
ness and honesty OF statement.
He expressed himself heartily in SYM
pathy with the provisions of the bill,
and his road was earnestly endeavoring
to do just what the bill requires, and
would do SO as soon as practical without
any law being passed to require the
adoption of the air brakes and patent
couplerS. The Northern Pacific had
10000 freight cars. IS per cent of which
were already provided with air brakes,
but they had not been pushing
the work quite so rapidly owing
to the financial straits of the country.
The equipment of freight cars on that
road with the air brake alone would
make necessary an outlay of $400. 900,
but all the engines were now equipped
with the driver brake, and in time all
the freight cars would be equipped with
the air brake. AS to the patent
car coupler, there was not a de-
vice known that would meet the
requirements of the bill, although there
were over 5000 devices for so-called
automatic couplers. The Northern Pa
aiftar rood uac h0nnctIv ~ ori M n ,nfir u
with the coupler, and had tried 2,1O0 of
them. but they were not a success. The
best was 1.-The master car builder" or
1.-The Janney-Hein" coupler, but they
would not work satisfactorily, and were
] far from complying with the provisions
of the bill. Since June last the North
ern Pacific road purchased 2,100 cars
with the patent coupler, and 661
of them had broken and had
to be replaced. One hundred
more cars with patent couplers had
been ordered, and experiments would
be made until satisfactory results had
been attained. MIR. Mellen also spoke
of the effects of the bill on running cars
on other roads ont of the state through
Minnesota in case the law was passed.
They were
90 Prevented by Law
from reloading freight from cars of
other roads into their own cars, or from
breaking bulk on train loads. In case
other roads did not have the attach
ments required by the bill they would
be placed in the position of not being
allowed to pass through Minnesota with
trains or ears from other roads.
Attorney j. c. Bullitt. OF the Northern
Pacific. spoke much in the same strain
as did Mr.. Mellen.
Mr.. Hayes. from the Brotherhood of
Engineers and Brakemen, took an active
part in the discussion and said, as to
the coupler. he was of opinion there
were difficulties in the way of making
the bill effective, and it was probable
that the measures of the bill liz that re-
gard were ~ineXpedient.
On motion of Representative bearing
the provisions of the bill relative to the
coupler were striker cut.
Ah eAtciideu DISCUSSION followed as to
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-02-13

the provisions relative to the driver
brake upon engines and air brakes on
freight cars.
Representative Lynn was in favor of
indefinitely p%ostponing further action
on the bills.
Mr.. Walch, of Minneapolis, thought
as the roads were doing so we'll in the
line of the bills requirements, it would
be we'll to amend it so as to merely en-
body a request that railroads carry out
its provisions as soon as practicable.
Mr.. Hayes stated that some roads in
the state would never use air brakes on
freight cars unless required to by law.
He urged that the bill as amended be
recommended for passage.
After a number of amendments had
been proposed and a general discussion,
a vote was taken on Mr.. Lynn's motion
to indefinitely postpone action on the
bill. The proposition was lost by a vote
of S to 3, MesSrs. Lynn, Bjorge and NJ.
Walsh voting yea.
The bill was next amended, upon mo-
ton of Mr.. Furl0ng, S as to require the
engines and freight cars to be equipped
with air brakes by Jan. l, 1898, all pres
ent voting aye on this proposition. 1t
was then, on motion of Mr.. Furlong, de-
cided to recommend the passage of the
bill.
The Cross Bill.
Sam Hill, of the Great Northern, who
had come in late, stated that he had IN
derstood that the Cross bill was to be
considered and was surprised to learn
that the bill had been recommended to
pass. He stated that he desired to ask
the committee 10 visit Minneapolis and
inspect the Great Northern bridge in
course of erection for the purpose OF
showing the great hardship that
would be imposed upon that
road by passing a law that would
give another road a right to
use that bridge without paying toll
for the right to use it. The bridge will
cost a million dollars. and if it is to be
used by other roads without compensa-
ton, the project would probably be
abandoned.
The committee, after some discussion,
reconsidered their action at a former
meeting by which the bill was recon-
mended to pass, and it vas intlmated
that the bill will be amended SO as to
overcome the objection raised.
The committee accepted the invita-.
ton of Mr.. Hill to visit Minneapolis and
Inspect the bridge, and decided upon
2:30 p. III. Saturday as the time.

The House Spends the Afternoon
in Committee-Batch of Bills
Passed Upon.
When the house reaSSembled at 2
o'clock general orders were taken up,
Mr.. Doyle being called to the chair. On
House Files 81, ID and 1874 it was decided
to report progress. H.F. 1877, Mr.. Bells
bill relating to mutual building associa-
tions, and providing that all local build
ing societies in the state be placed
under the control and supervision of the
state public examiner, in the same
manner as the national associations,
was amended in several minor particu-
lars. Mr.. Ringwald urged that all bills
which it is proposed to amend should
be recOmmitted. Mr.. Turrell stated
that be was interested in several local
building and loan associations. and
favored the passage of the bill.
Mr.. Walsh considered the question
one of prime Importance to the poorer
classes of people. and II which vitality
affected their interests and well-being.
All legislation looking to local building
a~ssociatio MS should therefore be most
carefully considered. He believed that all
safeguards the state could provide
should be thrown around the aSSocia-
tons for the protection of the poor
people. He therefore moved the bill be
recommitted for further consideration.
MI. Furlong seconded the motion. He
said the bill was a new feature to him,
and he would like very much to look
further into it. Mr.. Smart moved that.
Faribault county be excepted from the
provisions of the bill, Mr.. Kinney
Seconding the motion. The house, how
ever, sat down very heardily on the mo-
ton.
Mr.. Bell hoped the motion to recon-
nit would not prevail. He understood
that there were some building societies
which were specializing in real estate,
and the delay in passing it would sim
ply give the societies a chance to organ
ice their forces in opposition to the bill,
Messrs. Greer, Reyes. Currier and
others favored the immediate passage
of the bill for the reason that it had
been fully considered in committee and
in the house already.
Mr.. Bell moved that when the COM
mitttee rise it report progress on the
bill. Mr.. Furlong seconded the motion,
and it was carried.

WHEAT
A Bill Which Would Be a Terror
to MINNEAPOLIS Thieves.

House File 1879 was considered by the
grain and warehouse committee of the
house last night. The bill is to amend
chapter IA of the General laws of 1885,
entitled an''actt to regulate warehouses"
etc. State Weighmaster Clausen eX-
planned that he was satisfied that there
is a band of wheat pilferers in Mime
apolis. and if a law can be passed to
stop this pilfering, the problem of short
weight Will be solved. Bags have been
frequently caught with wheat in
their possession, but the courts
have held that their boys could not be
convicted of theft unless caught in the
act of taking the wheat. To remedy
this Mr.. Clausen suggested that the
inspection shall all be done by state
inspectors and that the cars, as soon as
coupled, shall be sealed again, and
further that it shall be a penal otfense
for anyone who shall break this scale.
The committee adjourned without
aking any action.

Nothing illustrates the madness of
their outbreak more forcibly than the
fact that their first fire was so directed
that every shot that did not hit a SOL

by this first fire of the indians them
