Commissioner Judson c. Clements
has served on the board since 1892, is
a lawyer, was born in Georgia in 1916
and has been member of congress.
Commissioner Clements learned how
to read and write and spell in coun-
try school and then attended an acade-
my in neighboring town. When the
war broke. out, though only fourteen
years Of age, he wanted to shoulder a
gun and fight for the south, but his
youth prevented him from carrying out
his inclinations at once. However, if-
teen months before the war closed he
joined General Johnstons army and
was with him all through the Atlanta
campaign. He was in the thick of sew
eral battles and was wounded In one.
The commission is a busy body and
has much work in hand at the present
time. Its powers are not sufficient,
however, as many claim, to do the
work the body was created to per
form. 1t is urged that under the oper-
atoms of an adequate railway rate law
these conditions would be changed.

case OL AIS paSSdkc'
Much of the difference of opinion which
has developed as to the kind Of bill
which should be passed turns on the
question Of what powers should be
given to the commission in the propos-
ed law. A crucial point In the discus
sion in the halls Of legislation at Wash
ington Is that of whether the bill in
question should contain clause pro
viding for judicial review of the de-
cisions or orders of the commission re-
specting railroad rates. Many hairs
have been split by the legislators VINO
advocate this or that plan, the con-
servatiyes generally advocating limita-
ton Of the powers of the commission
and ample provision for appeal to the
courts from its decisions. The radi-
Gals favor leaving the commission as
untrammeled as possible in the exercise
of its authority, so that it may have
full opportunity to remedy the evils
in the way Of rebates and discrimina-
ton so much complained of by ship
pers.

A. Knapp (chairman), Charles A. Prou-
ty, Judson G. Clements, Joseph w.
Fifer and Francis M. Cockrell. Chair
man Knapp has served on the commits
sion for fifteen years. He was origi-
nally appointed by President Harrison
in 1891, was reappointed by President
Cleveland in February, 1897, and was
reappointed second time by President
Roosevelt Commissioner Knapp was
considered one Of the best lawyers in
central New York at the time he be-
came member of the commission and
had in his legal practice given especial
attention to laws pertaining to corpora
tons. He was born near Syracuse in
1843, is a graduate of Wesleyan uni
versity, Middletown, Conn, and has
served as corporation counsel Of SYRIA
cuse. He has long advocated wider ex-
tension Of the powers Of the federal
government over railroads.
Commissioner Charles A. Prouty has
been member of the commission since
1896 and was named for the post by
Republican senator and appointed by a
Democratic president, Mr.. Cleveland.
At the time Of his appointment he was
solicitor general of the Rutland rail

milwaukee, April 25.-A Sentinel
special from kenosha, Wis, says:
An agreement has been signed be-
tween the manager Of the Allen tan.
merry and the committee representing
the strikers, which makes many con-
cesslons to the strikers. BY the
terms of the agreement the men In
three departments will receive an in
crease in wages of so cents a week.
while those in others will receive 81 a
week added pay. The men are to lose
no time for the two days taken I'D in
the strike. This agreement has not
been ratified and some of the discon-
tented ones are hanging about the fac
tory buildings and one assault in
which bricks were thrown through,
windows took place at night. The sit
uation, however, is not alarming. 1t
Is thought possible that the men will
return to work in the morning.

that Lee is a decidedly tough propo-
