THOUSAND MILE TICKETS
MAY BE INTRODUCED
These Books Very Much IN Demand
by travelling PubIic-If Renewed
Will be Sold at Flat Rate of $50,
There Being no Rebate.

1t is probable that the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad will again introduce the
1000 mile ticket for $40 which was
introduced some time ago but taken
off the western division of the line.
The ticket was retained east of Pitts
burg. The renewal will depend large
ly upon the passage of the uniform
two cent rate law now being consld-
cred by the state legislatures of 1ndi-
ana, Illinois and Iowa.
According to the statements OF an
Pennsylvania official at the station
yesterday, the 900 mile ticket. good
for any number of persons at one
time, and for all members OF family
or the bearer, is proving highly sue
cessful in the east and are sold almost
as fast as the company can secure
the books from the printers.
1t was thought by the officials of the
road that when the fares were reduced
to two and one half cents in Indiana
that the legislatures would take no ac-
ton to further reduce the passenger
rates and the books were withdrawn
west of Pittsburg, but since every
thing points to that end the books will
probably be again offered for sale.
The thousand mile tickets will be
sold for the fiat rate of twenty dollars
there being no rebate.

Measure for Uniform Hours OF
Service by Railroad Men
Passed by Senate.
CUTS DOWN PAY ROLL
UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS
TRAiNMEN CAN GREATLY IN
CREASE MONTHLY EARNINGS
BY EXTRA SERVICE.

In speaking of the recent bill pass
ed by the senate of the United States
which calls for uniform hours of SER
vice by all railroad employees in the
United States, railroad official at
the Pennsylvania station yesterday
said that the bill was not popular with
Pennsylvania employees, saying that as
a general rule men were anxious to
greatly lower the monthly pay roll
of railroad men, especially trainmen
Under the present conditions train
man can increase his pay roll each
month from twenty to fifty dollars a
month by working overtime and as
the natural result they are loath to
part with a system which is SO remu-
nerative.
Many Of the railroad men go into
the service for the financial returns
possible, with the hope that in some
near future they will be able to. by
working overtime, retire from the SER
vice. hence their universal desire to
work overtime. Some few men do not
know when to stop when working
overtime and as the result they are
both unfit for service and within a
few months undermine their health.
believe that the railroad officials
should have the power to regulate the
hours of service as it is ten to one
shot that they know a little more
about the service than do the sena-
tors who are fighting for the passage
of the measure.
There is one set of railroad men
which cares nothing whether the bill
passes both the house and senate or
not and that is the railway mail clerks
The passage will in no wise AFFECT
their working schedule as they have
certain runs 10 make and if the trains
are behind time many hours, the rail
way mail clerks make the trip and
receive no higher remuneration for
their services for working over the
required time.
On the western roads in the United
States some mail clerks are REQUIRED
to stay upon the road for weeks on
one trip due to snow storms and
blockades. They receive their month
ly WAGES but receive no overtime for
their services.

Indianapolis, February 2.-Publica-
ton of interviews with members OF
the legislature on the subject of reci-
procal demurrage brought out reply
today from one of the railroads affect
ed by the proposed demurrage legisla-
ton.
Reciprocal demurrage,' the rail-
road man said, lis a contradiction in
terms. The railroad furnishes the ship
per car. on which, if it is detained
more than forty-eight hours, the ship
per is charged nominal rental of 81
day. For this charge there is valu-
able consideration-the car itself.
cit is now proposed by the recipro-
cal demurrage advocates that the rail
road shall pay the shipper 81 if he
loads and consigns car in twenty
four hours or less-a payment for
which there would be no consideration
whatever. Why should the shipper.
who has no further use for the car, be
paid for returning it to its owner. the
railroad?
No Profit in Demurraae.
There seems to be an impression
that the demurrage charge for cars
retained more than forty-eight hours
is device whereby the carriers seek
to add to their profits in an unfair way
This is far from the truth The demur-
rage of 81 day does not cover the
value of the car to the railroad-the
car loaded and in motion would be
worth ten times as much to the car
rier.
Without demurrage charge cars
would be indefinitely tied up because
the shipper would have no object in
turning them back into the channels
of trade. Railroads do not make money
on cars standing still They earn pro-
fits only on loaded cars in motion.
CAS- to the statement that shippers
have no relief when, after waiting a
long time for cars, they receive more
than they can handle in the free time
of forty-eight hours, look at the car
service rules adopted by the Railroad
Commission and put into effect JAN
uary I. These rules were framed af
ter taking testimony that fills 1000

typewriter pages, and after the Com
missioner had compared and consid-
cred the car service rules of every
state in the country. The annual re-
port of the Commission says that
these rules have met with the appro-
val of the shippers and that the car
riers having acquiesced in them'
they will become, without appeal, the
law governing such cases.
Protection for Shippers.
''The rule that covers the matter I'M
der discussion is No. 4. Ii provides
that when by reason of delay or ire
gularity of the carriers in filling or
ders cars are punched in excess OF the
ability of the shipper to load within
the free time allowed by these rules,
the shipper shall be allowed separate
and distinct reasonable periods OF free
time within which to load the cars SO
delivered The same additional al
lowance of free time is given to con-
signees who receive more cars than
they can handle, and added free time
is provided for in Rule 6 when wealth
er conditions make loading or unload
ing unusually difficult.
''All these rules are solely in favor
of the shipper, and amply protect
him against the hardship alleged to
exist
Commissioner Wood has summed
up as follows the Railroad Commits
sion's views on this subject:
1.-The courts have settled that car
riers have a right to charge for the
use of cars after shippers have been
afforded an opportunity TO unload.
The only legitimate use or
cars is transportation The cars are
made for transportation, and not for
warehouses. Neither the carrier nor
the shipper, because the rights of 9TH
er carriers and other shippers inter
vene, has any right to divert cars
from transportation, except, Of course.
the usual necessary time to load and
unload them. In this matter the pub
lie have rights paramount to these of
any individual, and the business of the
public carrier must be SO conducted
as TO subserve the general interest
and convenience"

OFFICES FOR UNCLE
SANS LAW MAKERS

Washington, Feb. 2.-Uncle Sam
is supplying his lawmakers with Of
fees. Two of the most magnificent
buildings in the country are being put
up by the national government for
the exclusive use of senators and rep
resentatives in congress. Each viii
occupy block and will cost S2,50O,000
One of the twin structures will be for
the house, the other for the senate,
and they will form detached wings to
the Capitol.
Heretofore the congressman nave
his headquarters in whatever place
pleased him most. There has been no
system about the accommodations.
Now each branch of congress will
have handsome office building. with
uniformed attendants, post Office
and telephone and telegraph service.
Senators Get Mere Room.
The southern building. for the
house will have A29 ROOMS, one for
every one of the 40 representative s
and 10 for future growth in the mem
bership. On account Of their smaller
number of Senators. in the north
ern building, will get the better of the
bargain in the matter Of SPACE. every
senator having a room for himself,
one for his secretary and 4 bathroom.
In designing these con grnscicnal of
fees the architects put particular en-
phasis upon safety from fire, and me
specifications call for 100000 square
feet of terra Gotta hollow tile for the
building. Though only fcur-stories
high, each of them will have as great
quantity of hollow tile brick IN it as
many skyscrapers the heieht of which
makes fireproofng an absolute nee
essity.
Thus, while the character of Wash
ington architecture demands that the
buildings be low, they are made just
as safe as if they were high. Fire will
have no chance against them.
The exterior of these Capitol wings
will be white marble. They will be
connected with the Capitol by arcadeS
lined with ornamental brick and bril-
liantly lighted by electricity. Fea-
lures of each will be rotunda, reach
ing from floor to roof and capped by
a great dome 10 feet in diameter; a
caucus room. Sc feet long and 81 feet
vide, and dining room 60 by 80 feet,
finished in ornamental plaster.
