GO. TO
FIGHT RATE LAW
Indications Point to Legal Con-

Representative Says Company Is

Journal Special Service. :
Chicago, Oct. ~ The Pullman Car
company is preparing to fight the new
rate law This is: the belief of railway
officials, and all signs indicate it. The
company is disregarding the require
ments Of the law. 4
The law makes every sleeping car
common carriers to publish, file with
the Interstate commerce commission and
post in it's ticket Offices copies of it's
schedules containing all its rates. The
Pullman company has mo ticket offices
or stations, but usds those Of the rail
ways. z~~t ts,sSEE1
Doesn't Follsw Railways.
The railways while they have not
placed their tariffs in the outer Offices
Of their ticket offices and stations, have
posted notices stating where patrons
may obtain Them No such notices
have been posted by the Pullman com
pany, nor are its tariffs on file any
where for public inspection.
It is believed the company and it's
officials would not thus risk the pen
alties of the law without thinking they
had some good reason for doing SO.
One of the company's representatives
says that despite the provision, of the
law, it does not consider Itself as q
common carrier and does not believe
it can be forced to conduct it's business
as one. -. IS.

"The position Of the Putnam SAID
he, els that it is not engaged in the
transportation, but in the hotel bust
ness. It does not haul persons or prop
erty. The railroads do that. 1t merely
furnishes travellers on the railways
with lodging accommodations and
where it furnishes the dining car serv
| ice, with meals. Because the Pullman
company's hotels are on wheels is ne
reason why they should be called com
mon carriers. - -.
The main reasons why the company i
disposed to resist the new law is tha1
the enforcement of its requirements re
garding the publication and posting O.
tariffs would put it to great expense
and that it gives the. interstate com

This regrouping of great powers is a
natural outcome of the destruction of

quent upon the paralysis of Russia in
the Japanese war. It is an important
step in the formation of league Of
peace-the great object which King
Edward has labored to achieve ever
since he came to the throne of Great
Britain. It has behind it the cordial
support. Of Spain and Portugal. There
is good reason to believe that it com
mands also the sympathy of the United

well aware of it's inception and .pur-
poses. King Edwards league of peace,
it is expected, should be able very soon
to bear any strain that may be put

Just so long as for the industrial

the need of the young man and

mon school education. Keener
competition, higher specialization
and scientific inventions have en-.

are of one flesh and blood and not
