COMPROMISE ON THE RAIL CUES
TION.

A compromise has been reached be-
tween the steel companies and the rail-
road managers on the highly important
question of steel rails. Altho no "i:i-
cial report has been issued it is general
ly understood that the steel companies
will make u rail TO come up to the re-
quirements of the railroad managers at
a cost of SIS a ton advance. or $50 a
ton in place of the present price of SIS
a ton. 1t was also agreed that a change
is necessary in the shape of the rail
with much more metal being put into
the base. This has two objects. One
is to moro equally distribute the tenn
perature in the process of manufacture
and the other to make rail that vii
better Withstand the reverse bending
stresses which occur at all times ard
particularly during the frosts of the
Winter months.

A LAME CONCLUSION.
The Interstate Commissioners Only FiEd
Hartman Guilty Of "indeiensible Meth.
ods''-Lines Laid for Future LegisIa.
tiOn.

Just before the seven Interstate Com.
merce Commissioners packed their
grips for a vacation and pulled down
the curtains of their offices for two hOl
SumWer months they handed out print
ed copies of their report on the great
and public-a bsorbing investigation of E.
H. Hartman. 1t scores the great mag
nate roundly. condemns his railroad
methods, finds that he consolidated sew
eral competing lines and recommends
some stringent legislation. But as far
as any conclusions with teeth in them"
are concerned the report is something
of a disappointment. There is no rec
ommendation that Hartman be prose-
cuted, no clear-cut statement that he
has made himself amenable to prosecu-
ton in Federal courts.
Three specific recommendations are
made One is that the function of a
railroad should be confined to furnish
ing transportation The Commission
would not permit railroads to invest
generally in the stocks and bonds or
other railroads and steamship compa-
nies, except connecting lines. Hartman
has transportation lines surrounding
$4,000 square miles of territory in Ore
gon. The Commissioners think he
should use the funds of those lines for
developing that vast territory, rather
than in purchasing stocks and securi-
ties of the New York Central. Another
recommendation declares that it is
contrary to public policy. as well as
unlawful, for raiiroaGS to acquire con-
troll of parallel and competing lines. The
Constitutions of about 40 States forbid
it," The Commission urges Federal
law that will forbid the ownership of
any stock by a railway in a naturally
line. The Commission woull
also prohibit such lines of railway from
having any common directors.
The third and last recommendation
the Commission makes is some reason
able regulation" upon the issuance If
securities by railways engaged in inter-
state commerce. Old established rail
ways, it says, should be prevented from
initiating their securities for merely
speculative purposes.

The National tribune., 1907-07-18
The Conclusions,


The Commission concludes that what
would have been another competing
transcontinental line has been prevent
ed by the amalgamation of the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific. The
Denver az Rio Grande, with connections
To the East, comprised such a line. II
runs from Denver TO salt Lake and Og-
den. and used to have equal facilities
with other roads over the Central Pa
cifc from Ogden to the coast. Since the
amalgamation is has been denied equal
facilities in the receipt and transporta-
ton of freight over the Central Pacific
and also over the San Pedro lines. On
this account its business has decreased
and the GouldS are now building an
other line from Ogden to San Francis
co. The Commission also concludes that
joint control of the Chicago & Alton
Railroad by the Union Pacific and the
Chicago q Rock Island has undoubtedly
eliminated competition between the Al
ton and the Rock Island between Chi
caSo, st. Louis and Kansas City.
A detailed statement of what was
developed at the numerous hearings
during the investigation is made in the
report. Practically all the points there
of were made public thru newspaper
articles many weeks ago. This stale
ment follows the outline of a brief
drawn up by Special Attorney Kellogg.
The report goes to the President ard
the Attorney-General for further con.
sideration at their hands. The Attor-
ney-General will also have a COPY of
the voluminous testimony taken BIZ I'll =.
Commission regarding Harriman's OBJ
erations. IL is doubtful whether the
President takes any further action on
the report, except to study it for sug~
gestions about the railroad legislation
he will ask of Congress next Winter.
The Attorney-General will undoubte iIy
go over the evidence carefully to ascer-
tain whether there is any violation Of
law on which he can hale Mr. Hartman
into court. At White House confer
ences considerable time ago mich
doubt was expressed as to whether Har-
riman had violated any law. The two
or three cases where there was a pos
sible violation have been nullifie,i nv
the abrogation of the traffic agree
ments, such as that of the Union g. Pa-
cific control of the Alton and that of
the San Pedro Road
The investigation has had a tremen-
dous influence upon public opinion, and
has let in flood of light upon the
methods of railroad magnates. In those
particulars il Is the most momeptous

tered upon in exposing railroad meth

Lines for Next Winter.

These recommendations are taken 70

dent Roosevelt will work next Winter
in securing more railroad legislation
He thoroly dominates that body. and
has kept fully informed as to what il
has been doing. Commissioner Frank
lin K. Lane, who writes the report is an
intimate adviser of the President. While
the recommendations, as far as any
official statements the President makes
to Congress are concerned, may be mod
flied and developed between now and
next December, it is believed they rep
resent in the rOught what the President
wants.
The Commission draws several con
clusions from its investigations. 1t finds
that the effect of the control of the
Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific
has been to unity and amalgamate the
management of those two railway com
paneS and their steamship lines and to
eliminate competition between them il
transcontinental business and in hrsi-
ness to and from Oriental ports. Il
finds that there is no competition he
tween the Union Pacific and the South
ern Pacific on one hand and the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Road,
because the stock has been deposited
in the hands of a trustee. The Commits
sion finds that the Union Pacific owns
$10,000.000 par value of the stock Of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way Company. that about S30,000,000
more is owned by individuals connected
with the Union Pacific, the $4,000, 600
being substantially II per cent of the
entire capital stock of the Santa / Q
Company. Mr. Hartman refused to
tell the Commission who owned the
$50, 100000. Two directors of the
Union Pacific are also directors of the
Santa Fe, and there is now division
