resulted in positive agreements on six
propositions to be incorporated in the
Allison amendment to the railroad
rate bill, were ratified today by addi-
tional conferences of the senate lead
ers representing all the republican
factions.
That there could be no further mis-

of agreement was prepared and ex-
changed: "The Allison amendment
is to comprise six propositions:
First, the words fairly remunera-
tive in section 4 of the bill, are to be
stricken out
Second, the words in its judgment
in the same section are to be retained.
Third, jurisdiction is vested in the
United States circuit courts to hear

Fourth, no preliminary injunction OF

Discuss EIkins' Amendment.

amendment proposes to prevent inter-.

Senate Hits Pass Evil.
The railroad evil was hit a
stunning blow by the senate of
the United States yesterday.
That august body, SO frequent
~ accused of subserviency to corpor-
alton influences, awoke and by vote
of 38 to 35 adopted in committee Of the
whole an amendment to the Hepburn
bill which prohibits any railroad com.
pany engaged in interstate commerce
commission from issuing or giving any
free pass, ticket or transportation to
any person whatsoever outside Of its
own officers, attorneys and employees
and the classes of persons generally
recognized as entitled to unusual priv
ileges by reason of religion or charity.
This was done after the discussion had
run the gamut from propositions to
prohibit congressman and judges from
mileage allowances for congressman
clerks.
Twelve Republican Ayes.
Twelve republican senators, much to
the surprise of the galleries, joined

business, and when the senate ad.

that the next sure thing will be an
amendment prohibiting common car

votes in favor of the bill. The labor
organizations can have no particular
regret in the defeat of this measure ex-
cept that the old condition of exploita-
ton Of class of citizens who can
least afford it and are least able to re-
sist same is permitted to continue. So
far as the organizations are concerned
the very reasons given by the oppo-
nents for defeat of the measure are
the ones that could be used to the
great detriment of the unions in case
OF labor difficulties Members of labor
unions seldom use the bureau when in
search of employment because of the
fact that their own organizations are
so much more satisfactory for this
purpose. The opposition in the main
was useful to us as demonstration
of the lack of general horse sense used
by our antagonists. in their fight
against labor organizations.
Assumption of Risk.
During the early days of the session
bill was introduced by Representa-
tive Wright, providing for change in
the common law rule of assumption OF
risk in employment. This rule as gen
orally defined is that when an EN-
ploye knows of defect in machine
work or way in his employment, and
he continues in such employment ther
he is guilty of contributory negligence
and in case of injury can not collect
damages. 1t will readily be, seen that
knowing of the defect making his
work dangerous, and the employer no,
making the necessary repairs, the only
option of the employee is to quit his jot
to avoid the risk of injury. The Wright
