TALKED ABOUT RAILWAYS.
Edward 4. MoseIey Addresses the
Industrial Commission


Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the In
terstaie Commerce Commission, made an
interesting witness yesterday before the
Industrial Commission at their rooms in
the Bliss Building. He had been invited 10
speak especially on the syllabus OF the sub
commission on transportation.
He described the difficulty Of effectively
blocking blaeklisting by railroad companies
of the employees whom they dismiss. Mr..
Noseley said that after the Debs strike the
railroad companies gave letters OF recon-
mendation freely enough TO former en-
pioyes who could not well be denied them,
but phrased the recommendation in such a
way as 20 notify the sympathizing compa-
nies that tine recommended .men had been
blacklisted.
Touching upon the matter OF injunctions,
Secretary Moseley said that the only appar-
ent remedy for abuses was a bill to pro-
hibit the courts from attempting 10 en-
force the personal performance Of labor
contracts by mandatory processes.
The question of the liability OF the rail-
way companies for the injury sustained by
their employees while al work for the COM
pany brought out that most of the cases
were carried by the defendant company
over the State courts TO The Federal courts
on one ground or another
Secretary Moseley considered the results
OF the enforcement of the safety appliance
act. All but about 80 per cent of the rail-
road companies are provided with that par
iicular labor saving device known as mas
ter car builders coupler. The statistics
showed that in 1897. Notwithstanding the
increase of the business of the roads. 1,065

CARS SHOULD BE HEATED.
Professor Paul Protests to the Dis
fricf Comm srinncrr

The people of the District are taking up
the question agltated in The Times last
week for the improvement of the heat
ing facilities OF the street cars
of the District of Columbia. \ promi-
nent citizen said last night that in his
opinion. section of the law which gives
the Commissioners of the District the pow
er to make the police regulations also con-
fers authority to remedy the cause of COM
plant and compel the heating of street
railway cars. The section referred to en-
powers the District Commissioners to pro-
mulgate such measures as they deem nee
essary for the protection of life, limb,
health, comfort and quiet of all persons,
and the protection of all property within
the District of Columbia"
Anent the protest against unheated cars,
Prof Henry NJ Paul. L. S. n, has written
TO the District Commissioners as follows:
Il wish to enter an earnest complaint
against the Capital Traction Company for
its barbarous refusal to supply its motor
cars with heat in cold and stormy weather
when 1t is most needed.
To-day has been cold with a cold wave
coming on and a driving rain all day, and
no heat has been turned on in the Avenue
cars. On three days similar to this. one
Of them when it was so cold that it was
showing. the cars have been likewise with
out any neat.
This is simple barbarity when they have
every facility for rendering their cars COM
Portable. Nothing could more aid in spread
ing the prevalent grip through the city
than TO compel the patrons of this line TO
sit shivering in wet clothing and with wet
feet on such days as this.
The Metropolitan line, so far as | have
observed it, and even that old ramshackle
apology for car line, the Tenleytown
road, heat their cars, and there is no rea-
son why the richest corporation of the sort
in the city should be allowed to menace the
health OF its patrons in the way it does
The letter was referred to Captain Beach.
the Engineer Commissioner. and he rec
ommended that the Capital Traction Com
pany be asked If they could not find some
way in which to comply with the evident
desires Of their patrons.

has been successfully tried in California.
The Leeds Review has some OF the seed
to give away. Another remedy sug-
gested in the Dakota Farmer is: If you
have any alkali or "gumbo" places on
your farm land, pile all the ola dry hay,
straw, litter, ETC., on it, two feet deep at
least, better four or six. When the
ground is dry set the trash on fire. The
fire seems to burn up the alkali salts
and the ashes to fertllize the ground.
This remedy has 'cured" spots for us

cation is success elsewhere. 1t ls
