CONDUCTED EXCURSIONS TO GO
Railroads of Opinion There IL No
Further Need of This Kind
of Service,

CHICAGO. March A.-Personally con-
Quoted excursions TO California, which for
years have been a feature OF the service
offered by transcontinental railroads, may
be abolished. special meeting of the
interested roads has been called for today
to consider the matter. The lines that are
favoring the discontinuance OF the practice
say that the system has outlived its use
fulness
1t is understood that the Hartman lines,
the Santa Fe and the Rock Island will
advocate the change. The Burlington 1t is
said, will oppose II. Each of the trans
continental lines sends three or four tourist
cars. accompanied by a conductor or tourist
agent, from Chicago to California points
every week. Most OF the eolonist business
to the coast travels in these cars. The
removal of the tourist agents is the only
change contemplated in the service. Abol-
ishing this practice viii also mean that
excursion bureaus maintained by some of
the roads will be done away with.

ROADS WIN GREAT VICTORY
Attorney General HadIey Says
Peoples Only Recourse Is
New Law.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. March 2-In
reference to the decision OF the supreme
court OF the United States in the Mime
sofa and North Carolina rate cases, Attor-
ney General Hadley said today:
while the decision of the supreme court
in these cases is principally based upon the
unreasonableness of the penalties pre-
scribed by the Minnesota and North Caro-
lima statutes, it's effect is unquestionably
to sustain the contention of the railroads.
Whenever the railroads do not like a
state law, they can now have one of their
officials make an affidavit that It would
unreasonably reduce their efficiency
throughout, and a United States circuit
Judge can suspend this law until it can
be shown that the law is reasonable.
IF the people of the several states do
not want to have the laws that they enact
to be subject to the suspensive vote power
Of the United States circuit courts, they
should insist that their senators and rep
resentatives in congress enact the law
recommended by the recent convention Of
the attorneys general Of eighteen states,
that no United States circuit court should
have the right to enjoin the enforcement
of any state statute"

DEMOCRATS MAKE THREATS
House Minority Will Filibuster to
Force Action on Certain Bills.
SAYS REPUBLICANS ARE SLOW
Day Occupied I'm Discussing the
Agricultural Bill and Debate
Between DaIzeII and
Sulzer.

WASHINGTON. March 24-Determina-
ton to conduct a filibuster on all occa-
sions where opportunity presented itself,
in order to force the republicans to action
on an employers liability bill and other
measures deemed necessary of enactment,
was announced by Mr.. Williams (Mss.) in
the house of representatives today during
the consideration of the agriculturaI bill.
He said he had waited until today to see
some evidence of an intention to transact
business which the people were demanding,
but finding none had reached the conclu-
sion that the time was ripe to force the
hand Of the republican party. The demo-
Gratis cheered the announcement.
General debate on the agricultural ap-
preparation bill continued throughout the
day, except for a brief time when Mr.
sulzer IN. " by way of retaliation for
the action of the house yesterday in ellmi-
mating from the record his speech of Sat
urday last, sought to have expunged some
remarks of Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.) regarding the
rules. In that however, he was unsuccess-
full. Many democrats refrained from sup
porting his proposition.
williams Makes Threats.
II Mr.. John Sharp williams of Missis-
sippi, the minority leader, makes good his
tives today the republicans will be forced
to pass certain legislation or else meet
with obstruction at every turn by him or
his democratic colleagues.
Mr.. williams declared that up to now
the republicans have had smooth sailing.
He did not want the country to think that
the minority was trying to assume respon-
sibility for legislation. He did not want
to appear trying to coerce the majority
until the republicans had absolutely dem
onstrated before the country that they did
not intend to do anything at this session"
He had, he said, waited for the repub-
licans to do something.
81 have finally come to the conclusion
that the republican party has forgotten TO
do anything. It has become the party of
negation and of passvity, and as far as I
can see, has no idea of doing anything.
1t is plain now that without some method
of parliamentary coercion, you are going
to be deaf to every demand of the coun-
try"
Mr.. williams announced that from this
moment on for the balance of the session
this is not llke-easy, wait on the enemy
campaign, but coercion is going to be ex-
ercised." No recommendations for unani-
nous consent on the part of republicans,
he said, would be granted, unless 1t be to
adjourn or take recess, until the major
ity shows that st is sufficiently alive to
the demands OF the country" to report for
consideration in the house such measures
as an employers liability bill; some bill for
the publicity of campaign contributions;
free wood pulp and free print paper bill,
and bill against ex parte injunctions act
ing as a supersedeas OF a law passed by
sovereign state.
