CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 16.-In the first test of
strength in committee on the various
railroad regulation measures the trans
portation companies this afternoon
scored a victory over the administra-
tion. BY vote of to the senate
committee on corporations decided to
report adversely on the administration
or Stetson measure, and indorsed the
policy of conferring on the commission
the power to fix maximum rates only.
It has been the contention OF the cor
poration attorneys that the constitution
di Gnot confer on the railroad commits
sion the power to fix absolute rates,
but left the making of these charges,
under fixed limit, in the hands of the
railroad companies.
LOSE DEMURRAGE BILL
The transportation companies lost in
their fight to prevent a favorable rec
ommendation of the Miller reciprocal
demurrage bill. The Campbell bill was
reported adversely and Senator Wright
was given permission to amend his
railroad regulation measure. 1t is
probable that this measure, which is
aimed to take the place of the admin
istration bill, will receive the approba
ton OF the corporations committee.
In all of the hearings on the railroad
measures the corporations have fought
against the provision of the administra-
tion measure which would require them
to file a schedule of their rates with
the commission. after which they would
be allowed to charge neither more nor
less than the rates specified in the
schedule. They claimed the provision
was unconstitutional Attorney Cen
eral Webb, however, and the support
ers of the measure, including the mer-
chants exchange Of San Francisco,
have demanded the power to fix the
rates absolutely to prevent discrimina-
ton.
This afternoon Stetson was asked to
change the policy of the bill so as to
provide for the fixing of maximum rates
only, and on his refusal the committee
diaspproved the bill by the following
vote: Against, Wright Bates, McCart-
ney, Burnett, Welch and Kennedy; for,
Miller, Walker and Roseberry.
DOUBTED CONsTITUTIoNALITY
Senator Miller announced that he
still entertained some douot as 10 the
constitutionality of the Stetson meas
ure in so far as it provided for the fix
ing of any but maximum rates.
In order to strengthen the position of
his own measure Senator Wright moved
that the committee should give it's in
dorsement to the theory that under the
constitution the railroad commission
can only fix maximum rates. The mo-
tion carried.
The Miller reciprocal demurrage
measure, which has also been an object
OF attack by the corporations was
amended so as to provide for a penalty
OF SO day against the railroad com
pany for non-delivery of cars. and a
penalty of Sc day against shippers
for delayed loading and unloading of
cars. 1t was then approved
