to 1t. They decided to vote against it.
The Republican conference was held
in the hall of the House and was well
attended. The Pennsylvania delega-

Washington. D. C.-"ElagIant, wilful
and continuous violations of the law
during the past five ears is the way
in which the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad is arraigned in a de-
cision promulgated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission ON 'the alleged
unlawful rates and practices of that
road in the transportation of coal mine
supplies, involving also the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company The main
points of the decision summarizing
the way in which 1t is alleged the law
has been violated and disregarded, are
as follows:
The act to regulate commerce re-
CURES carriers to publish and adhere
to their tariffs. The Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway Company has
for the last FIVE years wilfulIy and
continuously violated the provisions Of
this law in the respects above stated.
February 10. 1908. the so-called 'Ef-
kins biz was enacted, providing that
carriers should in no case transport
traffic until tariff hac been published,
and that the published tariff should be
observed. and providing penalty of
not less than $1,000 nor more than 500
900 for each offense.
"The provisions of this statute ex-
tend both to the railway company
which grants and the party which re-
ceives the concession. Both the Santa
Fe and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company Systematically and continue
ously violated the provisions of that
act in the particulars mentioned from
the day of its passing down to Novem-
Der 81, 1904, when the tariffs under
which this coal moved were reduced in
all cases S1-15.'
