LITCHFIILD TALKS.
The Railroad Commissioners viii
Investigate.
shiVsly's Complaint Concerning Freight and
Passenger Rates to Be At
tended To.

Railroad Commissioner Litchfeld was in
his usual communicative mood when a
CALL reporter visited him yesterday to
hear what he had to say about the COM
plant filed last Monday by II. o. Shively,
the San Jose merchant. with the Board Of
railroad COmmi ssiOners.
Mr.. Shively petitioned for an immediate
revision of the freight and passenger rates
On all the railroads in California. He
claimed that the freight rates are 20 per
cent too high, and the fares ought to be re-
duced 10 per cent. His demand is a sweep
Ing one, and he does not 20 into partic-
ulars.
Commissioners Rea and Beckman have
left the city, and Mr.. Litchtelj, who is the
only resident member Of the board, was the
only one who could be seen yesterday.
we Will go right ahead with the inyesti-
CATION asked for by Mr. Shively," said Mr..
Lltchileld, IN answer TO a query, and then
ne added that the commission had no choice
I'D the matter. I'VE have put ourselves on
record that we are only awaiting formal
complaint before we take action" said he,
and now there is only one thing for us to
do, ana that is TO go to work in earnest"
According to tile Commissioner, it will be
40 days before all of the 81 railroad COM
panies have filed their answers to the
N|HAfNiHJ CbHipldbtt IOplGo VI NulCu WILL dS
soon as practicable, be sent to them When
all the answers are on file there will be q
meeting of the commission and a time will
be set for the hearing of tie matter.
1t is expected that hundreds of witnesses
from every part Of the State and in every
walk OF life Will be summoned To give teSti-
mony, and the proceedings will probably
last year.
The commission will make arrangements
with Sten0grapner who will do the work
OF the investigation on q contingency, as it
is expected tie State Board of Examiners
VIII recommend to the Legislature that the
necessary expenses Of the commission In
this matter call for a just appropriation.
There Is but little doubt bat that the funds
needed Will be Obtalnable in this manner.
Mr.. Litchfield is of the opinion that Shiye-
ly's demand for an indscriminate reduction
of freight rates is impractirable and unjust,
and he says that it would be much better
had that petitioner filed rate schedule
with his complaint, for some freightS are
now so low that 90 per cent reduction on
them would mean an actual loss to the rail-
road on that particular kind of COM
modify
We have no power to make rates which
compel railroad company to lose money
on freight" said Mr. Lltchield. land there
lore In making rates must arrange them so
that they have margin for the operating
railroads"
When asked why he did not like Com
missioner Rea, volunteer 10 pay one third of
the expense of The coming investigation.
Mr., Litchfeld answered that If he did not
earn his salary as commissioner he ought
not TO be In office, and if he did earn it he
did not propose to give it up for any such
purpose.

ceiying Hospital yesterday afternoon for

TRADES UNIONS SUED.
Litigation Growing Out Of the Brewery
Workmeu's Fight.


Workmeu's Fight.
The National Brewing Company and the
Jackson Brewery have sued the Federated
Trades, the Brewery Workmen's Union and
other labor associations for judgment In
each case for $1,000 damages, and to restrain
them from prosecuting so-called boycOtts
levied against them on April Is, 1892
The brewery men say that the unions
have sought to manage and control their
business, and insisted upon requirements
which are unreasonable and impraclicable
Of fulfllment, namely, the payment of such
rates to the employees as should be fixed
from time to time by the uEiOns and the dis
charge of all Objectionable to the defend
ants, besides the utterance Of threats to boy
colt unless compliance we're had with their
demands.
Complaint is also made that the conspir-
acy 10 boycott was entered into as early as
IN January rs 1902

Humerez Died From Natural Causes.

An inquest was held yesterday on the
body of Cordonnio Humerez, the Chilean
sailor, who died on May p, after falling
overheard from the schooner Minneta
Captain Frank Adams, the master Of the
schooner, was suspected of having pushed
him overheard, but the evidence showed
that he fell into the bay while hauling In
the sails. More than this, tue autopsy re-
yealed the fact that pneumonia was the
cause of death, so he was probably dead
before he struck the water. The Coroner's
jury therefore found that Humerez'S death
was due to natural causes.

resulted in the negotiation OF seiie" va ooh
mercial treaties highly favorable TO American
trade. No greater service has Deeh fenucieu ~
the Nation in many years than the tin'elS INTRO
d,lction of that amendment by when the 1arih
and Reciprocity policies were harmonlzed. Heh-
ator Aldrich. while he was Identified with the
Mckinley bill and had more complete mastery
of the complex details of the Tariff question than
any other member of the Senate, had the fiexibil-
ty and practical sagacity required Tor adapting
his ideas to the requirements OF equitable com
mercial Reciprocity. Rhode Island Is small
State but through the eminent public services
of Senator Aldrich it has powerfully influenced
the industrial ard commercial future of the Ma
ton. The neglect of the Republicans Of that
State to secure the return of the senator TO ash
ingt0n will be not only serious party re-
verse. but also a National misfortune, for there
il hardly another member OF the United States
Senate equally competent to deal with the Tariff
d'Reciprocity questions.
Fortunately, the Republicans of Rhode Island
are united and entirely free from fractional dis
sensions Mr.. Adrich is the only candidate in
the field for election to the. Senate. The pre-
liminary conferences held last week disclosed
harmony and good feeling The reelection OF
Senator Aldrich should be made the browning
issue of the spring canvass. 1t is an issue which
affects the enormous manufacturing interests OF
one of the busiest hives Of industry In New
England. and also appeals strongly to State pride.
1t is an honor to Rhode Island to be represented
in Washington by so capable, progressive and
eminent a man as Senator Aldrich. 1t will be
sorry commentary upon the intelligence Of the
new and enlarged electorate of that State if a
leader of National reputation be forced to retire
from public life
