4 GREAI VICTORY
won By WEST
VIRGINIA
Senator Elkins
Hero ofthe Hour

WASHINGTON. D. c., May. 15.-The
week just passed was an eventful one
IN the history OF West Virginia
Through the unremirting efforts Of
her senior Senator. Mr. Effdns. the
Senate passed his amendments re-
Guirins railroads to provide switches
for shippers when they have sufficient
business to justify 1t and prohibiting
railroads from Transporting in inter-
state commerce any coal. coke. OF
other commodities which they them
selves have mined or produced. It
Will be recalled that from the begin
ming he contended that the Hepburn
bill should be 50 amended as to cor
rect real evils. abuses. and oppres-
s:ons on the part of railroads He has
Insisted all along that without some
provision correcting these abuses the
bill would not afford substantial re-
lief
The amendment requiring railroads
tn put in switches at all points where
needed for the shipment of interstate
products and to provide cars and dis
tribute them without discrimination
or prejudice meets all such cases as
that of the Red Rock Fuel Company.
It is known that the railroads of West
Virginia have refused switches to in
dependent operators. and in many In
stances have driven them out Of buSi-
ness.
OF even greater Importance than
this. however. was his success in pass
ing his amendment prohibiting COM
non carriers from transporting in
interstate commerce any coal. coke.
or other commodlty2 which they have
mined. or produced, or become direct
ly interested in. elect in the case OF
things needed by them in their own
business as a common carrier. In
other words the amendment is to force
railroads TO adhere to their own buSi-
ness OF transporting passengers and
freight for pay
Senator Elkins introduced this
amendment Monday and it occupied
the attention of the Senate until
Wednesday evening. three days. When
the whole mater had been completely
gone over. the Senate was SO fully
convinced OF the wisdom of the amend
ment that it passed by the unusually
large vote Of 6. to 6. Senator Elkins
was on the floor during the whole
time the amendment was pending.
There was a great effort TO defeat it,
