DOING THEIR BEST.
Nearly All Railroads Are Trying to
Comply With the Law.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Gratification
is expressed by the Interstate Com
merce commission over two conditions
that have arisen within a day or two.
in concrete form they mean thar
American railway officials as a Glass;
are doing all that lies in their power
to meet situations that have develop
ed under the new laws applying to
interstate traffic.
Information has reached the COM
mission that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroads proposed to put into effect
at once throughout its system the So
called mine hour law" which by its
terms does not become operative I'M
til March next. The law limits the
hours Of service of all CLASSES of train
operatives. particularly \ locomotive
engineers ands Aremen, train dispatch-
ers. railway te1egraphers, towermen
and signal operators.
Already the commission has set
February 81 as date on which it
will hear formal application for an
extension of the time of the opera
ton of the nine hour provision. The
time may be extended as to the rail-
roads which are able to show the
commission good cause for the ex-
tension. However, the B. and o. does
not purpose to await the result Of the
hearing. AS explained to the COM
mission the purpose of the officials OF
that system is to put the law into eff
feet Immediately in order that both
the officials and the operatives may
become familiar with the new condi-
lions before they are made impera-
tive by the act itself
Another source of qualification to
the commission is the very general
compliance Of the railroads with that
provision of the Hepburn act which
makes it obligatory upon carriers to
submit to the commission monthly re-
ports covering every phase Of the
operation of interstate roads.
A few weeks ago it was announced
in a tentative way that several inn
portant systems, had declined to fur
nish reports to the commission in ac-
cordance with the law and in con-
formity with the regulations and
forms prescribed by the commission.
1t was held by the, counsel for the
New York Central lines for instance.
that that provision of the law was
unconstitutional and it was UNDER
stood to be the advice OF counsel that
the officials refuse the reports. With
In day or two an understanding
has been reached between the COM
mission and the New York Centrar
by which the road has filed with the
commission complete reports for the
five months ended November 80 last.
The commission now has complete re-
ports for five months ended Novem-
Der 80, on ninety nine per cent OF the
railroad mileage of the country. Re-
ports for the month of December are
coming in slowly. perhaps because at
this period Of the year the railroad
accountants are busy compiling the
annual statements. It is expected,
however. that by the first Of March
substantially complete reports from
ali the railroads OF the United states
for the six month ended January i.
will be in the hands OF the commits
sion. -'s-,--s.a 81.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Passenger Officials Are Facing
Queer Proposition.
A Dilemma Exists Over Sum-
mer Tourist Rates.
FEAR INCONSISTENCY.
Reduced Fares to Colorado the
Bone of Contention.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Passenger officials Of railroads ex-
tending east and west OF Chicago are
suspended over two horns Of a
dilemma with respect to summer
tourist rates. At the meeting of the
Central Passenger asso citation in Chi
cago Saturday 1t was sara that if the
public was given the benefit Of lower
rates for summer travel, the railroads
would be deprived of their main de-
Tense against 2-cent passenger rate
laws. If, on the other hand, the
lower rates are not granted, it is GER
tain to bring down a new avalanche
of 2-cent legislation.
Uncertain what action to take. the
association passed a resolution not
to make lower rate than cents for
summer tourist travel subject to the
concurrence of the western roads.
This resolution followed a previous
conference between committees of the
two associations during which the
western committee asked the eastern
committee to stand with 1t in main
tanning the 2-cent basis. Despite the
attempt to maintain cents as the
minimum rate, it seems certain that
some Of the lines will break away
and give Independent notice of lower
rates. In fact, the Grand Trunk has
tons demand"
The crucial point is Colorado. West
ern roads inaugurateN several years
ago, cheap tourist rates to Colorado
and succeeded in increasing summer
travel to that territory by at least 100
per cent. Colorado was one of the
states which refused to pass q 2-cent
rate law. Now If the railroads refuse
to make low rates for Colorado it is
certain the state will pass q rate law.
If, on the other hand, the low rates
are made, Missouri and Kansas, which
told the railroads to make 2 cents the
minimum, will turn q deaf ear to a re-
peal Of the law.
The Michigan situation also presents
a serious problem. If cheap rates are
not made to Michigan resorts the rail-
roads cannot get any business in
competition with the boat lines, and
II cheap rates are made to the Michi-
gan points then cheap rates will have
to be made to all western resorts. In
the east the same problem exists with
respect to the Atlantic coast resorts.
In Saturdays meeting E. A. Ford
passenger traffic manager of the
Pennsylvania lines. declared the rail-
roads should cease granting conces-
sions so long as the public is hitting
the railroads at every turn. He said
that in Ohio there was bill pending
which would increase the taxes of
the pennsylvania III tHdl SLdlo IL oAiA
100000 to almost 100000.
AS result of the various laws. 1t
was stated. the Santa Fee had been
Obliged to cut out $4,000 passenger
train miles month in two states, the
Michigan Central $4,000 miles
month, the Pere Marquette 10000
miles, the Grand Rapids & Indiana
10000 miles, the Ann Arbor 10000
miles and other systems correspond
ingly. The association therefore de-
cided to refuse more than 100 appli-
cations for reduced rates for conven-
lions and special occasions to be
held during the present year.

From admissions made by him he

two other men beat another, and he
got the worst of it. Add to. this the
fact, as claimed by the officials, that
Steinbaugh has been engaged recently
in the occupation of selling receipts to

sympathy is felt for him.
