MORE TINE is ASKED
For Railroads to Equip With
Safety Appliances.
A YEAR MORE NECESSARY
The Interstate Commerce Comm ssion
Grants Hearing to Representatives
of tho Roads - Discreditable
State os Affairs.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The interstate
commerce commission gave hearing
to the representatives of the several
companies asking for a further ex-
tension of the time allowed the rail-
roads to equip their lines with safety
appliances. Two years ago the COM
mission granted an extension until Jan.
/, 1900. The further extension asked for
at the present time is one year. The
representatives of various labor organ
izations were also present to offer their
side OF the case. Representatives of
about hundred roads were in attend
ance.
John C. Rowan, president Of the Bal
timore s, Ohio, representing, as chair
man, IS other roads having $4,000 miles
Of lines, made the opening argument.
He said that June !, 1899, 2l1,26S freight
cars out of 2,226,000 engaged in inter-
state commerce were not equipped with
safety appliances. Since that time the
number had been reduced to between
100000 and 175,000. The argument of
the railroads asking for an extension,
he said, was based upon the showing
The Anaconda standard., 1899-12-07
CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS OF UTAH.

made by the roads since the last appIi-
cation. The showing demonstrated that
the railroads had done as we'll as could
be expected and would ask no further
i extension.
Wayne McVeagh, representing the
Pennsylvania and affiliated lines. Joined
in asking for the extension. They had
equipped 5000 out of 100000.
President Knapp of the commission
stated for the benefit of those present
that of the roads petitioning for an eN-
tension over 80 per cent were fully
equipped. He said there was some mis-
apprehension as to the meaning of the
law. which provided that not all the
roads should equip their cars. but that
after a certain date no unequipped cars
should participate in interstate COM
merce Fully equipped roads could not
therefore haul uneauipped cars after
the expiration of the limit.
AT this iuncture President Knapp an
nounced that the president had sent
word that he would be glad to receive
the representatives of the railroads and
labor organizations present at the white
house at l o'clock The invitation was
accepted. The committee recessed un-
til o'clock.
After the recess Mr. McVeagh again
addressed the commission, dwelling
upon the enormous progress already
made by the railroads, which, he said
had spent $100,000,000 to comply with the
law. If the extension were not granted
he said the withdrawal Of 175,000 cars
from interstate commerce would infiict
a serious injury upon the business in
terests of the country.
Mr.. Fly OF the motive department of
the Pennsylvania railroad gave it as his
view that it would be entirely imprac-
| ticable for one road to equip all the for
! eien cars on it's line.
| President Knapp at this point stated
! that a travelling inspector Of the COM
mission who had been examining the
equipment of roads for some time had
found an almost ideal state of affairs
so far as hand holds and standard
height of draw bars, but that he had
/ found a surprising state of affairs so
