RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention OF the
Order OF Railway Conductors recent.
ly held at Portland, oregon. resolu.
tons were unanimously adopted vote
ing their sentiments as TO the eject
OF proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees.
whom they In part represented. These
resolutions Endorse tho attitude Of
President Roosevelt In condomning
secret rebates and other illegalitles,
and commend the attitude OF the
heads OF American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity, have Joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the individuality Of legis.
lRtion yesting In the hands Of Il com.
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far In the United
States than In any other country"
because such regulation would result
In litigation and confusion and In.
ovltably tend 10 an enforced reduc.
ton In rates, irrespective OF the qLes.
tlon OF the ability OF the railroads 10
stand the reduction, especially In view
OF the increased cost OF their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given 10
the present Interstate Commission
because the proposed legislation Ia
not in harmony with our idea OF
American jurisprudence. inasmuch as
II contomplates that n single body
shall have the right 10 investigate,
indict. try. condemn and then enforce
It's decisions at the cost OF the car
riers. pending appeal. which is mani
testify inoqultable"
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation II any. az
would secure and insure Justice ane
equity and preserve equal rights 10 all
parties concerned" on the ground thai
the low cost Of transportation lis the
result OF the efficiency OF Americas
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant Improvement and
development Of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
TO the value OF intelligence among EN-
ployes In contrast TO foreign methods.
where high freight rates and lowest
wages 10 employees obtain"
In. pressing their claim against leg
islaton adverse to their interests,
they point out the fact that The
freight rates OF this country average
only two per cent OF the cost OF arti'
cles 10 the consumer. thus making the
freight rate so insignificant a factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price In all parts OF the country"
