PENNsYOFFICER 'FESSEs

New York, Feb. 17-That the rail-
roads are to blame to considerable
extent for the existing public agita-
tion was the admission made by a vice
president of the Pennsylvania system
He also avowed desire on the part
of the railroads to seek peace with
the public. Vice President ]. B. Thay-
er, of the Pennsylvania railroad, was
the principal speaker at the annual
dinner of the Traffic club. an organi-
zation of railroad and steamship men,
at the Waldorf, Saturday night. Mr..
Thayer, declared that, whatever the
sins of the railroads in the past, their
present methods were based on de-
cent regard for their public respon-
sibilities.
with the old rebates and secret
determinations things of the past" he
said, with all kinds of business in
prosperous condition, suddenly out
of cloudless sky there has burst
forth upon the railroads torrent OF
the most bitter and violent attacks.
1t is fair to say, think, that this on
slaught had its origin in the agita-
tion of 1904 for changes in the inter-
state commerce law"
The speaker said that in the matter
of the rebates there were many men
on the anti-rebate platform today
among the commercial interests of the
country who would have to duck If
any one cried Rebates" Mr.. Thayer
said he believed that the railroads,
upon the resumption of business ac-
tivity in 1898, and 1899, did under
take to get away from the old condi-
tions. / know that the Pennsylvania
company has not paid a rebate for
years and it is fair to assume that its
competitors must to a large extent
have pursued the same policy.
When he came to the matter of free
passes, Mr.. Thayer argued that.-the
railroad was not to blame for abuses.
which we're shared in by the people
and their representatives. What dis
turbed him was the prospect of bills
Of different kinds in both congress and
in the state legislature interfering
with the operation. He believed that
the remedy lay in having the railroad
go frankly before the public with
their troubles, and cited the policy
which he said the Pennsylvania has
adopted of entire publicity in regard
to the legislation and kindred mat
ters.
