A STUDY OF RAILWAY FAVOR

A STUDY OF RAILWAY FAVOR
Parsons of Boston has been writing and
speaking Of the relations between the
railroads and the people. In that time
he has also travelled widely both in
Amesicas and Europe, studying =. railroad
conditions, and has made a com rehen-

The heart Of the railroad problem, in
DR.. Parsons view, is the impartial
treatment of shippers. He says: "The
chief complaint against our railroads is
not that THE rates as. a. whole: are uu+
reasonable, but that sfavoritism is shown
for large shippers Of special interests

in hand is a study of this favoritism.

The Rate Bill Conference,

+ The question of who shall be the con-
ferees upon the rate bill assumes i'm
,portance from the presence in the bill
tpf a large number Of senate amend
Rments which go to the very heart Of the
Legislation. That the conferees should
be men who are not only heartily in
favor Of the legislation but who under
stand its bearings goes without saying.
~ ct such is the situation that the ma
Ejority Of the conferees from each house
may be lukewarm friends of any rate
law. Elkins is chairman of the senate
committee and he will necessarily be
one conferee. Hepburn is chairman Of
the house committee and he will be an
other. Now 1t happens that neither of
these men can be called sincerely
friendly to the measure. Hepburn, tho
the bill bears his name, did not origin
ate 1t. The last house passed the Esch-
Townsend bill, which was forced upon
his committee and Hepburn neither
drew it nor aided materially to guide it
thru the house. Elkins' committee did
not even consider the Townsend
measure, but pigeonholed it and dur
ing the recess Of the senate held lot
of tiresome hearings in which the COM
mittee apparently sought to satisfy
itself and the country that there was
no demand for such legislation.
The testimony Of Governor Cummins
Of Iowa, who appeared before the COM
mittee, is that Elkins received his
pointers and apparently his point Of
view from former Senator Faulkner,
who was present representing the rail
roads. So neither Of the chairmen can
be truthfully charged with being wildly
enthusiastic for rate legislation. Prob
ably neither one would make fight
against "reasonable' amendments in
conference. Who is next9 Tillman and
Deliver from the senate. Tillman is
square on the pbill, but dense and
clumsy man who could be wound up
easily by clever majority. Dolliver is
apparently the only man from the sem
ate in whom the real friends of rate
legislation would place implicit conf
dence. From the house it is proposed
to add Richardson, who is the ranking
member Of the minority on the COM
mittee.
As the second house conferee it was
at first proposed to put on Mann Of
Illinois, whose selection would have
been thoroly Objectionable to the
friends of the bill and would have
shown up Speaker Cannon in a bad
light. The substitution Of Sherman of
New York must be an Improvement,
but still people will wonder why there
was not room on the conference for
either Of the men who perfected and
put thru without party aid the Esch-
Townsend bill. Both Of these men are
on the commerce committee, both are
sincere, able and commendable repub-
icans. Yet they are not mentioned for
this important place.

4 house is NOT such body as to win

The two men were on a west bound train coming into this city about 10 o'clock last evening" As the train was passing under the Grand avenue bridge Reed was struck by the bridge and re- ceived several painful though not se- rious injuries about the head. He was hurried to the New Haven hospital.
 Murphy was arrested by Officer Coo gan on a charge of .trespass, and spent the night in the lock-up. He got off to stay by Reed, whom he said was a good companion and would not leave him, and so got into trouble himself. Reed is twerty-two years old and Mur- phy is twenty-three. They got on the train at New London,
