PRESENT RAILROAD WAGES
ARE TO BE MAINTAINED

New York, Feb. 25.-Having salts
fed itself that the large railroad lines
in the East do not intend to reduce
wages now and hearing encouraging re.
ports from the West and South, the
committee representing the Railroad
Brotherhoods, which has been In SEES
sion here, adjourned last night.
On behalf of the committee John
Morrey. of the Order of Railroad Con
ductors, said:
1--WE are satisfied now that no reduc-
lions in wages will take place, what
ever may have been the original inten-
ton of the railroads. After confer.
ences with the officials we can now
announce that the New York Central
and all the Vanderbilt lines, the New
York. New Haven & Hartford and
other large lines will continue the
present wages. We we're also prom,
ised continuation of the present
wages on the Hartman and Hill lines
President Underwood OF the Erie rail
road has promised that the wages OF
the railroad men will not be cut.
II believe that the letter of President
Roosevelt to the interstate commerce
commission had good effect. There
Il little doubt that the smaller lines
viii do what the larger lines do"
Mr.. Morrey said that the committee
represented 235, 900 railroad workers.

Prussian Suffrage Uprisinx.

The. desire for manhood suffrage in
Prussia and the refusal of the German
chancellor, Won Buelow, to meet the de-
mand with consideration. eliminated last
Sunday in a tremendous demonstration
at Berlin, where more than 10000 So
cialists and their friends attempted to
parade the principal streets and to hold
public meetings. Prior to this pro-
cession before the Parliament building
had been dispersed by the police with
great violence after the Landtag had
voted down the suffrage proposition with
out division. Won Buelow had told the
Landtag that parades and riots would not
influence the government bit. Sternest
measures were taken to preserve order on
Sunday, large bodies Of police and sol
diers being stationed about the city. In
most cases the parades were broken up,
the police charging with swords and the
people resisting with clubs and stones,
SO that many on both sides were injured.
Thousands Of women Joined in the demon
STATIONS, marching and singing with the
men. Resolutions for the suffrage and
the secret ballot were passed by all the
meetings. The movement extends through

LOOK FOR EARLY DECISION
BY STATE SUPREME COURT

Olympia, Feb. 20.-"We shall get a
hearing before the supreme court on
the railway commission law early in
May. There is no longer the least
doubt about it." said Attorney Gener-
al Atkinson.
"The decision of Judge Linn sus.
tanning the constitutionality of the
provision giving the commission the
rate making powers, and holding
against the commission in only one of
several particulars, permits the COM
mission to become the appellants and
force the issue to speedy hearing.
"The May term begins May II, and
by the rules of the court Thurston
county cases are heard the first day.
see no reason why the railroad COM
mission cases should not head the
calendar and be argued May IL.
eve therefore expect decision on
all the points involved by July / in
any event. If the supreme court
should not sustain the commission law
in all particulars there would be ample
time after the decision is rendered for
the governor, If he so desired, to sum-
mon a special session of the legislature
and secure the submission of consti-
tutional amendment to the voters in
the November election.
IF the legislature passes the neces-
sary act prior to August 1, sufficient
time is given for the three months
publication of the amendment"

|FAVORS THE STATE
RATE REGULATING POWERS OF
RAILROAD COMMISSION AZ.
FiRMED IN RULINGS.
Judge Linn, Of Thurston County, Holds
Contrary Opinion to That Of Judge
Hanford-opportunity to Test Mat
ter in Supreme Court Is Also Of
fered.

Olympia, Feb. 20.-A most import
ant victory was won by the state rail
road commission yesterday when
Judge o. v. Linn, of the superior
court of Thurston county, handed
down favorable judgments in the two
chief cases recently heard on appeal
from the orders of the commission.
While the reversal Of the commission
in the other two cases is victory for
the railroads, it pleases the members
of the commission scarcely less as it
will permit the state to carry them
Immediately to the supreme court to
secure a ruling from that court upon
the constitutionality of the commits
sion laws.
The right of the commission to reg
ulate and fix the rates was sustained
by Judge Linn in affirming the order
of the commission for the joint wheat
rate. This order was resisted by the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cifie, the o. R. & ~, which was the
original party in the suit having
withdrawn, by consent of the county,
during the arguments before Judge
Linn, consequently the latter road is
not bound by the decision.
The court also sustained the order
requiring the railroads to make phys
ical track connections at various
points in Eastern Washington.
The commission was reversed only
on the joint rate on potatoes, and ex.
tending the terminal rates on hay,
oats, feed and barley to Grays harbor,
which the court held was an arbitrary
and unjust measure. These cases in
volve the commissions right to make
rates and will be Immediately appeal
ed to the supreme court of the state.

the greatest stroke toward the settle
ment Of railroad rate troubles In the
great Middle West.
! Engineers reported that the Mis-
souri, River, II improved according to
the plans Of this convention, would
have the carrying capacity Of 600 rail-
roads-flfty times the capacity Of all
the roads running between the Missis-
sippi River and tie lower Missouri,
and more than twenty-five times the
capacity of all the railroads running
from the Mississippi to the Missouri
at all points These engineers reported
that making the Missouri River nav
igable from Sioux City to St. Louis
would cost less than paralleling any
single railroad between those two
points.
The navigable length Of the Missouri
River is greater than the distance by
rail from st. Louis to San Francisco.
It has a navigable length three times
as great as the entire length Of the
Ohio River.
II Congress does not want this ap-
preparation, the boosters Of the Middle
West may ask for legislation assessing
tax against land lying within 100
miles Of the Missouri River. It has
been figured out that the entire $4O,-
100000 could be raised by an assess
ment Of 90 cents per acre against thet
land bordering upon the stream FOR 100
miles back. This territory produces
crops and live stock annually worth
over 500, 100000.
