FOR FEDERAL REGULATION
OF RAILRoDS.

st. Paul, Oct. Railroad com
missioners of Minnesota, Wisconsin
North Dakota, Montana, Washington
and Oregon will convene at the Ryan
hotel Tuesday to consider plans
whereby all the states in the Union
may ultimately agree upon uniform
laws and regulations pertaining to the
railroads, SO as to obviate the necessi.
ty of the federal government assuming
jurisdiction over the railroads, which
is now held by the states. In the main
it is an effort to make the laws and
regulations SO harmonious and effect.
i've that the railroads will not have
any cause to complain against any in
justice they may suffer from the diff.
ferent states, due to multifarious and
inconsistent restrictions, and to salts.
fly the demands of the public.
The meeting of the commissioners Of
the Northwestern States will simply
be preliminary to the national conven.
ton of railroad commissioners, which.
will open Oct. 8 at Washington, D. c.
The st. Paul conference will probably
adjourn Wednesday to meet again at
Washington, where the results of the
st. Paul conference and suggestions.
will be presented to the national asso-
citation.
