CLASH over RATES
Secretary Taft and StuyVesant
Fish Argue at Ban
quet
OF THE RAILWAY CONGRESS-
Former Declares Regulation Must
Come and it is Useless to
oppose 1t.

Washington, May 1O.-There was
sensational clash last night at the
banquet given to the members of the
international railway congress at the
New Willard hotel.
1t took place between Secretary of
War Taft and President Stuyvesant
Fish, president of the Illinois Central
railroad, and was over the railway rate
question.
"Jars" the Railroad Men.
Secretary Taft had just been intro
duced by Mr.. Fish. the POSTMASTER
and the first words almost of the sec
retary were a fiat footed statement
that railway rate regulation must
come; that if the railway men of the
country were wise they would aid and
not hinder it; that the sentiment of the
country is such that failure of proper
regulation mean campaign ON the
subject that would do no good to the
railroads.
Was Very still
Absolute silence reigned as Secre-
tary Taft spoke his mind. He was pos
itively against government ownership.
he said, believing that nothing 50 dele
teriOus could come TO the country as
this solution of the question.
But" he continued. you cannot run
railroads as you run private business
You must respond to the public de-
mand. If there is danger of discrimi-
nation then you must allow the estab-
lishment of some tribunal that will
remedy that discrimination"
The secretary saw no reason why
tribunal properly constituted should
not be competent in every sense of the
word TO fix a maximum rate.
Fish in Spirited Reply.
Mr. Fish was on his feet the instant
the secretary concluded. He answer
ed the secretary at length, taking the
view that the law to prevent discrim-
ination, double dealing. and secret re
bates were ample. and he vigorously
called for the enforcement of that law.
Mr. Fish talked of the vested rights of
the money tied up in railways. He
apologized for allowing himself to be
diverted. and. as he sat down. Secre-
tary Taft, who sat next him. queried
in a low tone:
May | have Is minutes to reply?"
This time was given. and the Secre-
tary utilized it in making himself even
more positive as To his position in fav-
or of legislation which would create
a tribunal with authority to name a
maximum rate.
