But. on the other hand. they are not

STRUGGLE To CONTROL RAILWAY RATES

presidents field marshalS in the lower
branch of congress.
In the senate the course OF railway
rate reform is beSet with greater ObSte-
cleS now. as it was in the previous seS-
sion. owing TO the strength of the rail
way element in that body. \ bill has
been prepared. with the aid of the in
terState commerce commission, which
is said to represent the ideas of the
administration as TO the kind of law
which would prove effective. Senator
Foraker, who has all along opposed
the presidents idea of giving rate max
ing powers TO the interstate commerce
commission, has prepared Il bill eX-
pressing his own ideas of 4 conServa-
tive measure on this subject He Is
one of the members of the senate in
terState commerce committee whic.
has charge of bills on the subject OF
railway rates. The other members are
Stephen Il. Elkins of West Virginia,
Shelby NJ. Cullom of Illinois. Nelson
w. Aldrich of Rhode Island. John Kean
of New Jersey. Jonathan Z. Dolliver
of Iowa. Moses l.. Clapp OF Minnesota.
Joseph H Millard of Nebraska. Bcnia-
min II. Tillman of South Carolina. An
selm ]. McLaurin of Mississippi. sd
ward W. Carmack of Tennessee. Muir
ply J. Foster of Louisiana and Francis
g. NewlandS of Nevada. Senator Ell
kins is chairman. and he made his for
tune largely through railroads and is
counted as in sympathy with their side
of the question. The foremost antago-
mist OF railway rate legislation in the
senate. however. is senator Aldrich OF
Rhode Island. who for years has been
the mainstay of corporati ton influence i'll
the upper branch of congress. Lincoln
SteffenS. the magazine writer. whose
Investigations of the system" have
been carried on in many states. has de
voted much attention TO the operations
of Senator Aldrich. who. he says. owns
Rhode Island. The senator is the IA
ther-in-law of John II. Rockefeller, Jr.,
he stands close to II. II. Rogers. vice
president of the Standard Oil company,
and is an all powerful factor in the
circles of high finance. Senator Al
drich is siXty-fOur years Old lie has
been in politics for thirty-five years
and has risen from alderman to sena-
tor. He entered the house of repre-
sentatives in 1879 ana was promoted to
the senate in 1881. He is an expert in
all matters relating to finance ana has
for years been chairman Of the senate
finance committee. Though past three
score, the senator is well preserved
and athletic and dcvoteS much time to
golf. He has Il private course on his
Providence estate. and il has some
times been claimed that he is the cham

gan passed by Il large majority. Demo
Gratis uniting with Republicans III its
support and only Il few scattering votes
being east against il. When it went to
the senate it encountered obstacles too
great to he overcome at that time. and
the Fifty-eighth congress went out OF
existence without cnacting into law
this most important measure. During
the summer the friends of railway rate
reform rallied their forces. and the rail
roads and the interests allied with them
did the same. During the interval be-
tween the expiration of the Fifty-eighth
congress and the assembling of the
Fifty-ninth the senate committee on
Interstate commerce held sessions and
took testimony. the interstate COM
merce commission made Investigations
with a view of aiding in the solution
of the problem ana the subject was
discussed in the press. on the platform
of Chautauqua assemblies and at other
public gatherings.
As the ch-TOwnSeud measure did
not become law the matter must be
taken up anew from the beginning. and
the assembling Of the Fifty-ninth con
greSS found the friends of railway rate
reform eager to proceed with the en-
actment of the new bill MesSrs
ESch and Townsend are a"ain the
