Austin. Nov. 2s.-The proposition to
reduce sleeping car rates on Pullman
sleepers was taken up wednesday
morning before the railroad commits

Texas opposing any reduction and urg.

were read. Letters were read from f.
s. Peters and Calvert OF the National
Farmers Union favoring the proposed

General Attorney Miller OF the Katy
declared that the railroads would In
sist upon three points: That the com
mission has no authority under the
law to compel railroads TO transport
sleeping cars; that the higher courts
of Texas have decided contracts be
tween railroads and Pullman company
by terms OF which the contracts are
exclusive and by terms OF which the
Pullman company has the right TO fx
its rates are valid. The commission
he said, Is doing indirectly that when

body OF men who are undertaking rail-
roads or common carriers must accord

from existing methods Of conducting
railroad trafic. Judge Miller contend
