STATE RAIL WAY COMMISSIONERS

WASHINGTON, March AT the morn
ing session of the convention of state rail-
road commissioners, a general discussion
of the resolutions offered at yesterday s
session by the committee on reasonable
rates was held. The discussion covered
the entire subject Of races. The resolu-
tions as adopted are as follows:
That it is competent for the congress
of the United States and for the legis-
latures of the various states to regulate,
within their respective spheres, the rates
of freight and passenger traffic and travel,
subject only to those legal and definite
limitations which under our system of
government circumscribe the exercise of
all legisl tive and administrative acts.
THAT it is within the power of congress
and state Legislatures to delegate the
power of reasonable regulation of the
rates to the said boards of commissioners
and to make their findings upon questions
OF fact, after fair, legal opportunity to be
heard, as conclusive and binding upon the
courts as the findings and acts of other adj
miEistrative officers.
1T is desirable that congressional and
state legislation be had on the subject of
rates to the end that public regulation of
rates may be practically reached by the
active cooperation between state and in
terstate commissioners.
The next subject taken up was car
couplers MI Ueorgo SG Dnard, or Chi
ca9o, representative from the Switch
mems Mutual Aid association of North
America, was introduced, and, on behalf
OF the association, made strong plea for
uniformity in couplers. He had no par
ticRlar type to recommend. He asked the
convention to appoint committee to
meet tho National Switchmen's assoca-
ton for the discussion of this subject, with
instructions to report their findings to the
next state railroad commissioners conven-
ton for presentation TO congress Resolu-
tlons were unanimously adopted providing
for the appointment of committee to
urge upon the next congress action to in
sure the equipment of freight cars with
uniform automatic couplers and train
brakes. and the equipment of the locomo-
tlves with driving wheel brakes
The conference then adjourned, to meet
at Washington a year hence
