THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA
AS TO sTocKMENs PASSES
The Court Adheres to Its Former
Judgment.

nc OOuTI AuneTeS TO IT'S fOrTneT
Judgment.
The supreme court has adhered to
its former judgment in the case of the
g. 3. e. @. II. r. company against
David G. Troyer, error from Hamilton
county, Judge Barnes dissenting.
Troyer while travelling on a stock
shippers pass sustained personal in
juries. In the lower court Judgment
was given against the railroad. The
supreme court holds that under the
evidence the question of the alleged
negligence of the company was a mat
ter for the court to determine and the
evidence is sufficient to warrant a
finding that the defendant company
was guilty of actionable negligence
which was the approximate cause Of
the injury complained of. The court
says that it cannot be said as mat
ter of law that the plaintiff was guilty
of contributory negligence so as to
preclude a recovery. The court holds
that q person while travelling on a
freight train on a stock shippers pass
for the purpose of attending to the
live stock being shipped sustains the
relation of the carrier of passenger,
but in restricted modified sense.
Such a person while so travelling as
sumes such risks and inconvenience
as necessarily attend upon caring for
such stock and such as are incident
to the means and methods employed
by the company in the operation of its
freight trains.
Judge Barnes dissenting says that
the plaintiffs right to recover depend
upon actionable negligence upon the
nart of the company and as he reads
the record finds no such negligence is
shown. The plaintiff was walking in
order to reach the caboose at the end
of freight train and was struck by
a switch engine on an adjacent track.
Judge Barnes says the fact was clear
ly established that the space between
the railroad tracks where the plaintiff
was walking was wide enough for his
safe passage if he had exercised or
binary care.

HEARING WITNESSES.
Fifer and cockerell Before Senate
Committee.

Fifer and Cockerell Before Senate
Committee.
WASHINGTON - Interstate Com
merce Commissioners Francis NJ.
Cockrell and Joseph w. Fifer were
among the witnesses before the senate
committee on interstate commerce,
whose investigation of railroad rates
has almost drawn to a close. Commits.
sloner Fifer spoke Of rebates and rate
cutting and said they were induced by
railroad men distrusting each other.
Rates, he said, should be made by the
railroads in the first place, but should
be subject to revision. He said that
the commission would adjust rate
complained of in accordance with
rates on like commodities in other
sections under like conditions. He
thought the adjustment of the long
and short haul difficulties should be
left to the commission. He believed
that the power of rate regulation If
given to the commission would not
be exercised very often, as the roads
would be careful not to get into
trouble with the commission when
changing rates. The commission, he
added. would have power to lower or
raise rates or prevent determinations.
Commissioner Fifer spoke of the dan
ger of government ownership unless
there were just laws justly admins
tered.
Former United States Senator Cock
rell of Missouri. now a member of the
commission, said he would leave the
origination of rates to railroads, CIV
ing the commission power to condemn
rate found to be unreasonable and
to fix another rate in it's place, to take
effect Immediately. The railroads, he
contended. should have the right of
appeal to the courts, and the latter
should. determine whether the railroad
rate was unreasonable or the commits
sion's rate unreasonable. If congress
should enact a law to this effect, he
said, the courts would take jurisdic-
ton of rates to the extent of deciding
such questions He would make the
railroads responsible for icing and
other charges of private car lines.
Commissioner Cockrell cited num-
Der of cases where decisions of lower
courts sustaining the commission in
rate matters have been reversed by the
supreme court. He did this to show
that the judiciary was divided on these
rate cases. In one case he pointed out
that Secretary Taft was a member of
the court of appeals which sustained
the commission.
S. II. Cowan, representing the live
stock shippers of the southwest, also
appeared. He controverted state.
ments by other witnesses as to the
satisfactory rate conditions and claim
ed that the cattle rates were too
high.

the affairs of the Equitable Life AS
surance society. Clarence Whitman,
president of the Merchant associa-
ton of New York, had a conference
with the president on the subject De.
tails of the conference were not to be
obtained, but it is believed that Mr.,
Whitman urged the president to take
up the subject with view either to
ordering a government investigation
or to making recommendations to

legislation

FIGHT TO A FINISH
PROSPECTS OF PEACE IN TEAM.
STEERS STRIKE DISAPPEAR.
EXPRESS COMPANIES OBDURATE
Strikers Demand That They Be Per.
mitted to Return to Work In a Body
Expected that Strike Will Now
Rapidly Spread

CHlCAGO-All prospects Of peace
in the Transfers strike have disap-
peared and 1t will be open war from
this time on. The last conference
looking toward peaceable adjust
ment was held at o'clock Tuesday
night between James B. Barry. bust
ness agent of the express drivers
union, and the local managers of the
seven express companies. The con
ference had been set for an early
hour in the afternoon. but owing to
the failure of Mr.. Barry to receive
proper notice it was postponed until
Tuesday evening. When the meeting
finally took place the conversation
was brief and pointed. Business Agent
Barry opened the negotiations by say
ing:
Our position is this: | want all the
men reinstated except those who have
been guilty of violence. | cannot do
anything different. That is what the
local union wants and that is what
the local officers have told me to
demand, That is all can do. The men
told me that they all want to go hack
in a body or they won't go back at
all; that is the position of the union
and the union officials"
THE reply of the representatives of
the express companies was brief. 1t
was:
"Our opposition to the reinstate-
ment of the men will be the same four
years from now as it is today We
will not take them back under any
circumstances"
This brought the conference to a
close and all parties concerned in it
Immediately left the city hall
The spread of the strike was not
as large as was anticipated it being
understood in many quarters that
there still is a chance of peace being
reached. Four hundred and siXty-two
drivers employed by twenty-oight
firms belonging to the Lumberlnen's
association went out. In each case the
men were ordered to make deliveries
to boycotted houses and the usual
strike followed. Other firms to the
number of fifty-five belonging to the
Lumbermens' exchange will make
similar requests to their men and by
night it is expected that the full mum
Der of 1000 drivers employed by these
lumber concerns will be on strike.
Edward Hines, president of the AS
ISOLATED of Wood Industries said that
the members of the organization pro-
posed to stand together. and when
asked if peace was in sight, replied:
peace. I am not looking for peace
I am in this thing now to fight it out
We may lust as well have it over once
for all. The Employers Association OF
Wood Industries is affiliated with the
Chicago Employers association, which
has been fighting the strike thus far
and, of course, we will work in con
junction with them. The reason that
more men did not go out today was
because some of the orders to the boy
cotted houses had to be taken in rota
ton and it so happened that most OF
the orders were for firms not in
volved in the strike The orders that
were given for deliveries to strike
bound houses were met by the team
sters with refusal to do the work anc
