RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION
biennial CONVENTION Of Conductors
Ask Congress Not 10 Pass Adj
verse Railroad Laws.

At the biennial convention Of the
Order OF Railway Conductors recently
held ut Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments M TO the effect Of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on tho
100000 railroad employees, whom they
In part represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt In condemning secret re-
bates and other illegalities, and com.
mend the attitude Of the heads OF
American Railways, who, with prao-
tical unanimity, have Joined with
the President on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the individuality Of legisls
ton vesting In the hands of q 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 inevitably tend to
an enforced reduction In rates, ire
spective of the question of the ability
Of the railroads to stand the reduction,
especially In view Of the increased cost
Of their supplies and materials" They
further protested against such power
being given to the present Interstate
Commission because "the proposed leg
islation is not in harmony with our
idea of American Jurisprudence, mas
much as It contemplates that single
body shall have the right to investi-
gate, indict, try, condemn and then
enforce It's decisions at the cost of the
carriers, pending appeal, which is
manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation II any, as.
would secure and insure Justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation "is the
result of the efficiency Of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de-
velopment 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 to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis--
lation 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 articles to the
consumer. thus making the freight.
rate so insignificant q factor in the
selling price that numerous standard
articles are sold at the same price in
all parts of the country"
