Railway Rate LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Ore, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect of
proposed railway rate legislation on
the 100000 railroad employees, whom
they in part represented. These res
olutions Endorsed the attitude of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
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 "inadvisability of legis-
lation vesting in the hands of a COM
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United States
than in any other country" because
such legislation would result in liti-
cation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the
ability of the railroads to stand the
reduction, especially in view of the in
creased cost of their supplies and ma
terials." They further protested
against such power being given to the
| present luleISldlc COu1lllSolOn DS-
cause "the proposed legislation is not
in harmony with our idea of Ameri-
can Jurisprudence, inasmuch as it con-
templates that a single body shall
have the right to investigate, indict,
try, condemn and then enforce it's de-
cisions at the cost of the carriers,
pending appeal, which is manifestly
inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if 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 anC
development of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been giver
to the value of intelligence among EN-
ployes in contrast to foreign meth
DDS, where high freight rates anc
lowest wages to employees obtain"
, In pressing their claim against leg
islation adverse to their interests
they point out the fact that eth
; freight rates of this country averag
, only two per cent of the cost of art
cles to the consumer, thus making tn
freight rate so insignificant a facto

standard articles are sold at the sam
