the road foreman Of equipment. both
OF whom have put the men through
four different courses of instruction in
the last six weeks, the last one ending
Friday night.
These lectures are given in an old
coach set aside for that purpose. and
the men assemble in the seats while
the trainmaster and the road foreman
walk up and down in the aisle care
FULLY explaining pointers which they
have gathered from observation. When
they go over the road and find any
thing that will improve the discip-
line, they make a note of it and save
1t for lecture time. At the last lecture

Little Rock, happened to be in the city
| and talked to the men, as did Superin-

RAILROAD NEWS.
Commission Makes a Ruling in
Nine-H0ur Case.
Important Announcement Al.
feeting Interstate Lines.
A LIMIT is PROVIDED.
No Authority to Suspend Law
Except on Hearing for Cause.
Other Items Of Interest in
Railway Circles.

An important announcement was
made today by the interstate commerce
commission respecting its attitude
toward the request recently made by
the operating vice presidents of the
railroads of the United States that the
so-called nine hour law, relating to the
employment of train dispatchers, tefe-
graph operators and tower men be
suspended by the commission until such
time as the law could be amended to
meet the desires of all concerned. The
commission holds in brief that 1t has no
authority to extend the time or suspend
the operation of the law except in
particular case or cases in which
hearing has been held and good cause
shown for the extension asked. The
commission saws:
thousands of letters and kilograms
received within the last few days fndi-
cate widespread misapprehenslon as TO
the power of the commission to ex-
tend the law which goes into effect
March next limiting the hours OF ser
vice of employees engaged IN the move
ment of trains upon interstate railroads.
The only authority is expressed In the
law as follows: The interstate COM
merce commission may, after full hear
ing in a particular case and for good
cause shown, extend the period within
which a common carrier shall comply
with the provisions OF the law as To
such case.
we are of the opinion, without de-
Gliding more definitely in advance of a
full hearing upon such applications
as may be made, that good cause Ior
extension is not shown when 1t Is mere
" alleged or made to appear that the
law ought not to be enforced at GER
tain stations or classes of stations, be-
cause the number of train orders
handled is small and there is no need
of increasing the force of employees.
Neither would it be good cause, as we
believe, to show that additional opera
tors can not be obtained at the wages
now or heretofore offered If 1t appears
reasonably certain that higher wages
would procure the requisite number.
These are purely questions OF leglsla-
tive policy, which must have been and
were determined by the congress ad-
versely to the carriers. and the com
mission has no right or authority TO
postpone the taking effect of this law
merely because its observance Will In,
volve inconvenience and hnanc1al
hardship.
We are also of the opinion that such
power as we have must be exercised be-
fore the law takes effect 1t is the
power to extend the period allowed for
preparation, not the power to suspend
after the law has become obligatory
Therefore we can afford no relief after
the 4th of March except in the partlc-
ular cases where extensions may nave
been granted prior to that date.

There Is a consensus Of JUDGMENT
that hero, as in the United States, the
fundamental trouble has grown out
OF the keen competition. on the one

Canada paid last year for the hasty
