JUST A HUGE FARCE

kean of New Jersey, who is largely
interested himself in railroad prop
critics.
Senator Joseph B. Foraker has
grown grizzled In the service of rail-
roads, and is too shrewd a lawyer not
to be able to find legal objections to
any federal rate-making proposition.
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, who
was the author of the original inter
state commerce act, and believes in
government regulation, did not intend
by that law to grant to the inter-
state commerce commission the rate
making power which, for some years,
it was assumed that the commission
possessed, and today does not go so
far as to advocate the lodgment of
rate-making authority in a commits
sion. He is disposed to be satisfied
with the present statute.
Senator Moses +. Clapp of Mime
sofa has contented himself, in the
recent hearings, with bringing out
evidence from each witness to show
that any objections to granting rate
making authority in a commission APP
ply with equal force to any effective
enforcement OF the present statute.
Senator Joseph II. Willard of Ne
braska has attended the sessions of
the committee, but has taken no act
i've part. He is relied upon to sign
any report prepared by the chairman,

hearings is Edward w. Carmack Of
Tennessee, who has maintained a con-
sistent attitude of criticism of the
testimony offered before the commit
tee. Other members have been abb
sent for various reasons.
a casual examination of this com
mittee reveals the fact that IT is
thoroughly controlled by the railroad
influence. Nothing which is seriously
opposed by the railroad systems will
be reported. The only chance for any

legislation must come from a will
ingness of the associated railroad in
huence, which here makes itself felt,
to make q compromise with public
opinion. This may be done, but the
railroads have made 1t plain that
general control of rates by a govern
ment commission will never be ac-
cepted.
The railroad managers see a men
ace in the continued agitation, and
fear the growth of socialistic senti-
ments. They fear the coui> which

Why the Canadians Threaten Cross Over and Cut the
American Lumbermens Booms-Provincial Govern
ment of New Brunswick Backing Up the Threats Of
Invasion.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 15.-A bitter
feeling between Canadian and Ameri-
can lumbermen over control of the
st. John river threatens trouble akin
to border war between the province
of New Brunswick and the state of
Maine
SO acute has the situation become
that. as reflected in recent news dis

Canadian governments. There have
been diplomatic exchanges with a
view to averting trouble pending a

peaceful means.
American lumbermen, in presenting
their side of the contention, lay stress

the destruction of the property of

action they claim to be within their

The facts as presented by the Ca

cut the booms, are that the Maine
lumbermen, who operate on the head
waters Of the River st. John and it's
tributaries, manufacture their logs in
the vicinity of Fort Kent, Me, and
shin them to the American market
over the BaBngor & AroOstook rail-
way. These are the people who, on
several occasions, have sought from
the Dominion parliament power to

Brunswick, and the Americans have
built in their half of the river large
piers, from which are swung booms
to aid in sorting out their logs. New
Brunswick lumbermen and some
Americans who operate mills at ST.
John. n. b., complain that these
booms are an obstruction in the river
and prevent the free passage of their
logs to the mills at the mouth of the
river.
The contention of these lumber
men. including the Americans mill
ing at St. John under the Ashburton
treaty, is that 1t is not permissible
to put distractions in a navigable
river, and they are insisting that the
piers and booms be removed. The
matter is of vital interest to the COM
planning lumbermen, as the obstruc-
ton of their logs, even for a few
hours. mey mean that they will be
hung up. And So 1t is that they make
the threats to destroy the booms.
Deputations from New Brunswick
interviewed the dominion govern
ment receitly. but all the government
has promised to do is to give the
question consideration.
The provincial government of New
Brunswick is backing up the Canadi-
an lumbermen in their threats of In
vasion. The American government
has recognized that the situation is
serious and has requested Lord Lans-
downe, the British foreign minister,
to use his influence to induce the
New Brunswick government to re-
frain from taking excessive measures.
Senator Hale of Maine will ask the
United States congress next winter
to adopt a resolution providing for
the settlement of the trouble by a
special Anglo-A commission.
