OPEN WAR IS ON
BURLINGTON TAKES THE LEAD
IN DEFYlNG COMMISSION
OPENLY VIOLATE STATE LAWS
Governor Threatens to Convene Law.
makers and Mete Out Pun
ishment to Roads.

Omaha, Sept. 16.-An open fight
between the Burlington railroad and
the Nebraska state railway commits
sion is on, and sensational moves are,
being made by each party every
day.
The railroad has issued orders to
all employees not to recognize requests
for information from the commission,
and the commission has retaliated by
ordering the investigation and prob
able prosecution of General Manager
Holdrege, because the commission
charges the Burlington with having
turned in list of pass holders which
Is alleged to be false and incomplete.
All the other railroads in Nebraska
are backing up the Burlington in the
fight, while Governor Sheldon and
the state officials are lending their
support to the commission.
Some time ago the railway COM
mission announced that 1t would
order reduction of from 10 to 10
per cent on grain shipments within
the state. The railroads laid low
and took no notice of the forthcom-
ing reduction until just day OF two
before the rates were to go into ef-
feet. Then a temporary restraining
order was secured from the United
States court, preventing the lower
rates from being placed In effect.
And while this is being fought out
In the courts, the Nebraska farmers
are shipping this years immense
grain crop and are paying the old
rate for the service.
But the great weapon in the hands
of the commission is the extra SEES.
sion which Governor Sheldon is pre-.
pairing to call.
The governor says, eff the railroads
intend to go into court and secure
an injunction every time the com.
mission promulgates an order or be.
gins hearing, they may just as well
be kept busy. Should the commits
sion be enjoined on it's hearings, one
remedy is left. can call an extra
session Of the legislature and the
railroads may be compelled to com.
ply with a law making a reduction of
% per cent on all classes of freight"
The commission has evidence that
fourteen passes issued by the Bur
lington were not incorporated in the
list of passes turned in by that road
The law provides heavy penalty
for this and since the list was made
under oath, a charge of perjury may
lie against the officials.
The fight is cleancut and the peo-
pie of the state, regardless of party
and politics, are behind the commits
sion and the governor.
