RAILROADS FIGHTING REFORMS.
The Railroad Committee of the
House had an interesting meeting
on Monday afternoon of last week
during which distinguished lawyers
representing the Pennsylvania and
Reading railroads made elaborate
arguments against about all the
pending railroad measures. The
main point Of attack was Duns-
more's railroad commission bill but
the two cent mile passenger rate
bill was also broadly and bitterly
denounced. Former Attorney Cen
eral w. U. Hensel made the prin
cipal argument and held that the
State has no legal right to create
railroad commission or to fix rate.
President Baer of the Reading road,
expressed the same views in letter
addressed to the Senators aNd Rep
resentatives i'll the Legislature in
which he also asserts the bald pro-
position that promises made before
the election are not binding after
ward. AS Mr.. Baer is a church
member and processes to favor poll
tical morals of the highest standard
that statement excited both sur.
prise and regret.
Neither the letter Of Mr.. Baer
nor the argument of Mr.. Hensel
had any influence on the minds of
the legislators, however. The COM
mission bill is still in committee bnt
the two cent passenger rate bill
passed Second reading on the even
ing of the day the arguments were
presented and passed tTe House
finally on Thursday. 1t isn't much
of bill but it was needed by the
Contractors combine for use in
the closing hours of the Mayoralty
campaign in Philadelphia. Repre-
sentative Blakeslee, of Carbon
county, told them about it just be-
fore the final vote was taken. He
declared that the bill gives the
passenger no guarantee of good
service for the two cents charged
and that box cars can be forced on
the travelling public under the pro-
visions Of the bill. The Democrats
wanted to pass good measure, he
continued, one which would hold
the corporations to full measure
of responsibility. Bet political ex-
igencies required expedition and
the bill will probably be killed in
the Senate.
GREASY HAD SOME FUN.
Representative Greasy had some
fun with the majority while the
trolley freight bill was under con-
sideration the other day. His bill
on that subject was turned down
because it was his bill and the
Homsher measure taken because he
is a Republican. When the meas
ure was on second reading, there

made the Homsher bill look so
cheap that its friends moved to re-
commit it for the purpose of adding
the salient features of the Greasy
bill. OF course it will still be the
Homsher bill after the repairs are
made but fair minded men in and
out of the Legislature will under
stand that Mr.. Greasy and his
