RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the
Order OF Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted voic-
Ing their sentiments as to the effect
of proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse 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 regulation would result
In litigation and confusion and in
cvitably tend to an enforced reduc-
tion in rates, irrespective of the ques-
tion of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction. especially in view
Of the increased cost Of their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because ''the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea OF
American jurisprudence, inasmuch as
1t contemplates that a single body
shall have the right to investigate,
indict. try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers. pending appeal, which is MANI
festly inequitable"
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation IL 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
development 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 leg
islation 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 arti-
cles to the consumer, thus making the
freight rate so insignificant a factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price in all parts of the country"

Postmaster Brunton announced this
morning that the hours for keeping
the postoffice open on Sundays here
after will. be changed from 1880 to
1: 80 p. m. to 10 to II a. m. The new
arrangement will go into effect next
Sunday and will meet the general ap-
prevail Of Sunday patrons of the WAL
la Walla office.
Carriers who serve their patrons on
Sundays will report for duty at 9
o'clock So as to get the mail in readi-
ness by 10 o'clock when the windows
will be open. The new arrangement
will make little difference in the deliv-
ering of Sunday mail. The heaviest
mail is now received in the night and
is thoroughly worked up by the cleri-
cal force long before 10 o'clock in the
morning. The mail from the west,
which arrives on the Northern Pa
cific is always worked by 10 o'clock
if the trains are on time. No s, run
ming between Pendleton and Wa1la
Walla, seldom makes connections with
the eastern train, but as little mail is
received on this train the inconveni-
ence caused patrons on this account
will be comparatively small.

ceive their Sunday mail before at
tending divine service and also per-
mits the clerical force Of the postoffice
attending services if they so wish. I'm
der the present arrangement the clerks

ESCAPED CONVICT WHO suRREN-
DERED TWO WEEKS AGO IN
OLD QUARTERS.
Nine Other Convicts Brought to State
Penitentiary Yesterday Fro Sound
Points.

Charles. Whitley, the convict who
escaped from the state penitentiary,
November II, 1900, and surrendered to
the state board of control at Olympia
two weeks ago because he was tired
of the haunting fear of being recap
tured, was returned to the prison yes
terday. Since surrendering Whitley
has been confined in the county Jail at
Seattle and was brought over by
Guards Rourke and Charlott with nine
other convicts from the Sound yester-
day.
Whitley was employed on the coal
car at the prison at the time he es-
capped. Whitley was tracked by Officer
Sanderson to a point west of Touchet,
but he managed to board q freight
train and get out of <ne country He
wandered back east where he remain
ed for nearly two years. Finally the
desire to treck west became so over
towering that the convict braved the
chances Of being recognized and recap
tured and drifted out to the Sound. He
worked around logging camps and
saw mills for two or three years with
out being recognized. The fear, how
ever, that he might be recaptured be-
came so overpowering that he finally
decided to surrender and serve out his
sentence. Other prisoners brought to
the penitentiary yesterday were as
follows:
Clark county-Albert Albrecht, as
sault with intent to commit rape, five
years. Sc
Lewis county,. B. Dexter, forgery,
one year.
