ddrs Reduction In Rates on
Hardwood to Coast Points

Chicago, June l5.-President
Roosevelt Is running this convention
from the White House by long-dis-
tance telephone and other available
instruments OF ready and instant
communication. He Is the boss The
convention will do nothing that 1t
thinks may be In the slightest de-
gree Objectionable to him, and 1t is In
humor to do cheerfully and prompt
ly everything that he favors. Take
the case Of the Vice-PYesident.
1t Is reported that the President
has given out an intimation that the
Vice-President must be either Sena-
tor Dolliver or Governor Cummins,
his chief political rival. Thus Iowa
will get rid Of one or the other of its
chief factional disturbers and the
troubles of that turbulent common
wealth will be composed.
The draft of the Republican plat
form made by Attorney General
Wade Ellis, Of Ohio, and approved
by President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft, is now in the possession of the
prospective members OF the commit
tee on resolutions and will In all
probability be adopted by the COM
mittee ON resolutions with but slight
changes.
The platform contains a most en-
phatic Endorsement of the Roosevelt
administration and Its policies. 1t
contains planks on the subjects of
trusts, railroads, injunctions and
currency. 1t declares for revision
Of the tariff by the next congress on
the lines of the Ohio platform.
The anti-injunction plank Of the
platform as passed upon In Washing
ton is as follows:
I'VE declare for such an amend
ment of the statutes OF procedure In
the Federal courts with respect to
the use of the writ of injunction as
will, ON the one hand, prevent the
summary issue of such orders with
out proper consideration, and on the
other will preserve undiminlshed the
power of the courts to enforce their
process. to the end that justice may
be done at all times and to all par
ties
Labor leaders are urging the adop-
tion of this plank, while employers
are opposing 1t.
At the personal request Of Secre-
tary Taft, Senator Fulton was slated
for chairman of committee ON cre-
dentials at the Republican National
Convention.

GIVES HOPE TO LUMBERMEN.
Orders Reduction In Old Rate ON
Hardwood From Chicago TO Coast.


Washington. D. c., June 15.--In .
decision rendered today by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. hope II
held out that Pacific Coast lumber
cases, now pending, will be decided
In favor of the lumbermen, and in
event the decision is Of that charac-
ter, the commission will allow the
lumbermen full recompense for the
excessive rates they have paid since
filing their complaint.
Today's decision bore on the rate
on hardwood lumber shipped from
Chicago territory to the Pacific
Coast, the commission holding that
while hardwood from Chicago to the
Pacific Coast should undoubtedly pay
a higher rate than softwood from the
Pacific Coast to Chicago territory.
yet at the same time the old rate OF
IS cents on hardwood lumber is ex-
cessive and that rate was ordered
reduced to Is cents.
The commission further held that:
when the shipper has paid an ex-
cessive rate he may recover as rep
aration the difference between the
rate paid and what would have been
a reasonable rate at the time, even
though he may not ultimately be
damaged by payment Of the higher
rate" But reparation was allowed
in this case only from date of filing
the complaint.

gone. Nothing remains of the city
