to underestimate the abilities of

Tho absence of compulsory school

THE NORFOLK NAVY YARD.
Assistant Secretary RoOsevelt's hives.
tiGattOn Into COmplaint's Made.

Assistant Secretary RoOsevelt's Invcs-
tfgattOn Into Complaints Made.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt returned
to Washington this morning from a visit of
inspection to the Norfolk navy yard and
the shipbulding works of the Newport
News Co1pany. The primary purpose of
Mr.. Rcoaavelt was to look into complaints
that had been rather numerous of viola
ton of the spirit of the labor employment
rules in the navy yard.
Like the complaints that had been made
in the case of the New York navy yard,
the assistant secretary found that in only
a very few cases was there any substantial
foundation for complaint. and even these
will require further consideration, before
judgment can be passed upon their eff
cheney
AS to the yard generally, the conditions
manifested itself among thu workmen is
attributed to the fact that owing to the
lack of money and work it has been found
necessary to make heavy reductions in the
force of workmen.
When a force of 1000 men is reduced
suddenly to about 900 it is no matter of
surprise, in the view of the assistant secre-
tary, that the unfortunates who are dis
missed should feel that they have been dis
eliminated against.
Another similarity to the complaints
made i'll the case ofthe New York navy
yard was that the bulk of the Norfolk
complaints are as to discharges made since
the present administration came into
power.
Mr.. Roosevelt spent day in the exam
nation of the plant of the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, and was much
pleased with the character of the work be-
as with the rapidity with which it Is being
prosecuted.

POOLING RAILWAY RATES.
Opposition of the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission.


The members of the Interstate commerce
commission have sent to Senator Cullom,
chairman of the committee on interstate
commerce, their views on proposed legisla-
ton in favor of authorizing the pooling Of
railway rates. The members favor nom
action now. there being five more cases
pending before the United States Supreme
Court, involving the most important pro-
visions of the act. These cases have been
already tried, and await the decision of the
court. When decided We shall know what
the law is, and better know in what re-
spect, IL any, it should be changed. The
chief purpose of those who urge imme-
date legislation under present conditions is
to authorize pooling and undo the recent
decision of the Supreme Court in the trans
Missouri antitrust cases. as provided in
the proposed fifth section, which Is identi-
cal with like provision in the so-called
Patterson bill of the House. No. 1897, first
session. Fifty-fourth Congress This we
believe should not be done: but Should the
Congress determine otherwise, and deem
1t wise to authorize pooling. it should be
done only on terms which will prevent the
abuse of the privileges granted. In our
opinion, this cannot be done except by
guarantees secured before the authority to
pool is given and before the contract goes
into effect.
Commissioners Yeomans and Prouty Quail
ify the statement of the other members as
follows:
we would not oppose the passage of a
pooling bill provided the ether amendments
which are necessary to mako the interstate
commerce law effective were made as a
part of that bill. We are opposed to the
passage of the pending bill or of any other
pooling bill until this commission is given
by suitable amendment the power in fact
which 1t Is supposed to have and must have
IN order to carry out the purposes OF the
act to regulate commerce. We believe that
the questions involved in the proposed legis-
lation are of paramount importance and
should only be acted upon with the most
mature consideration, and that any Iegis-
lation at the present time would be un-
