ATTACK ON THE RArE Law.

The first concerted effort of the
the effect of the amended interstate
commerce law was addressed to the
commission itself. which was put I'M
der great pressure to suspend indef-
nitely some of the important require
ments like the one relating to notice
of change of rates. but that effort
failed completely. the commission re-
fusing to commit itself to narrowing
the laws effect by so much as a hairs
breadth.
But that move is only preliminary
to the real struggle. for which the
railroad companies In union are now
making. preparations, and which is
said to have for its purpose nothing
less than the humiliation by judicial
decision OF the important new powers
over transportation rates and services
provided for in the act passed at the
late session of congress. The secret
conferences now in progress in New
York of a hundred lawyers known to
represent the great carrier corpora
tions, together with large number of
the ablest railroad officials, are plausi-
bly, believed TO be for agreeing on a
plan of legal battle against the law.
which is the elimination of design
formed last spring as soon as it be-
came apparent that the law would be
placed on the statute book, and in ac-
eordance with which preparations
have been In progress ever since.
Indeed the basis for such attack was
laid long before congress convened.
! and its main legal and constitutional
points were presented in bold outline
in Senator Foraker's great speech in
opposition TO the bill at the very open
Ing OF the senate debate. They go to
the very root of the matter, involving
not merely the questions of judicial
review. of fixing rates by commission
of carriers damage responsibility. ETC.
all of which provisions are essential
to the purpose of the law, but also the
more crucial question whether thai
purpose can be constitut ionally accom-
plished by any possible statutory forms
through an executive commission

strategy OF the contest. so that their
legal and constitutional case may be
presented to the courts in the most
advantageous and effective manner.
The prospect, therefore, is that any
hope that the carrier corporations
might submit to public authority un-
der the rules laid down by the national
legislature will be disappointed. and
that a corporation effort as memorable
and arduous as the popular movement
to secure the statute will be made to
annul or at least to emasculate 1t
through the judiciary. Confederated
corporation interests undoubtedly
have It in their power to force the is
sue IL they are so unwise as to hazard
the consequences to themselves OF
such an exasperating challenge of pub
lie interest. but whatever the court
decision may be, they are powerless to
prevent public control.

a record of success in the senate, but he
will at least deserve fame a remarkable
railroad builder and developer OF new ter
ritory. His railroad from Salt Lake City
to Los Angeles and the seaport Of San
Pedro. which is reported to have been built
entirely on his income, has already been
I'm operation some time. Now he is building
a line 225 miles long, which will run from
Las Vegas in New Mexico to Tonopah In
Nevada. The completion of this road will
mean much to the far western mining in
dustry. Senator Clark is reported as saying
that he hopes a railroad will eventually
be built to Alaska, but whether he con-
templates providing such a thing himself
is not stated.
