WASHINGTON, March Deal

Based on report OF Doafu

have been granted absolute control
over the lands and funds; a much
larger number has been authori-

Morris tribune., 1910-10-21

on their trainmen, train diSpatchers,
and telegraph operators, Congress, il
March, 1907, passed the act limiting
the hours of labor for this class Of
employees. By an earlier act, that of
June, 1898, Congress had made pro-
vision for the arbitration of disputes
between the railroad companies and
their employees as to wages, hours of
labor, and conditions of employment.
To promote and protect the safety OF
railroad employees the sO-called Safety
Appliance Law of March, 1898, was
passed, providing, among other things,
for an improved brake and car-cOupler
system. The act also provided, that
in case the railroad companies did
not comply with it's provisions any en-
ploye, receiving an injury in conse-
quence thereof, should not be deemed
to have assumed the risk even though
he continued in the employment after
the failure of the company to comply
with the provisions of the law. The
scope Of the act was enlarged and
strengthened by the act of March 2,
1908, and still further greatly enlarged
and fortified by the act of April IA,
1910. The three acts combined make
code for the relief and protection of
railroad employees. The safety ap-
pliance laws have also been supple
mented by the so-called ash pan act
of March 3, 1908, requiring locomotives
to be equipped with an ash pan which
can be emptied and dumped without
the firemen crawling under the loco
motive.
For years the federal courts had
been applying harsh and arbitrary
rules against railroad employees when
they or their families sought to re-
cover damages for injuries or loss of
life occurring in the service, and as
a consequence all railroad companies
that could do so transferred the suits
brought against them into the federal
courts, where it was exceedingly diff
cult, in most cases, to secure compen-
sation, by reason of the fact that the
courts applied the fellow servant rule,
and the rule of contributOry negligence
with great strictness, and by also ap-
plying the assumption of risk doc
trine. These were all court-made rules
that had no direct statutory basis. To
cure this evil and to afford the rail-
road employees a fair show for recoV-
cry Congress passed the so-called EN-
ployers Liability act of June 10, 1906
But the supreme court held, by bare
majority, this act to be invalid be-
cause it covered state as well as in
terstate traffic. To overcome the eff
feet of this decision, the Congress
passed the Employers Liability act of
April, 1908, which is not open to the
defect discovered by the court in the
earlier law. Under this last act, as
under the former, the fellow servant
rule is eliminated and contributory
negligence is no bar to recovery, but
only bears on the measure of damages
and not even on that when the injury
occurred through the failure of the
railroad company to comply with the
safety appliance laws. The rule as to
assumption of risk is eliminated and
the railroad companies cannot limit
their liability by any contract, rule,
regulation, or other device. This act
is a just one, and has accomplished
a most vital reform. In this connec-

step in advance and taken in the face
of persistent and long-continued oppo-
sition on the part of the railways. 1t
was evident, however, that the act of
1906 did not go as far as it should
have gone in some particulars, espec-
tally in not comforting the rate-making
power upon the commission on it's
own initiative, and in not allowing it
to examine and pass upon new rates
before going into effect. President
Taft brought to the attention of Con-
gress, at the beginning of last session,
the necessity for further amendments
to the act Of 1906 in order to make it
more effective and more remedial,
and Congress again took up the sub
ject and passed the act of June 18,
1910. This act conferred upon the
commission, subject to appeal to the
courts, the full rate-making power to
be exercised by the commission on its
own initiative as we'll as when com
plant was made. 1t also empowered
the commission to suspend new rates,
for investigation and determination,
for a period of ten months in all, to
the end that if the commission found
such new rate unjust and unreasonable
it could veto the same and prohibit
it's taking effect The commission
was also given the power on it's own
initiative, or on complaint made, to
establish through rates and joint class
ifications. The sO-called long and short
haul clause of the act of 1887 was
also amended in the interest of inte-
rior local points, so that greater
charge cannot be made for shorter
than a longer haul on the same line,
as had been done in the noted Spo-
kane case and in many other instances.
The act not only embraces railroads
within it's scope, but also express and
sleeping car companies and telegraph
and telephone companies. The act
also gives the shipper the right to
route his shipments; that is, the right
to designate the route on which his
goods are to be shipped. Prior to
the enactment of this law appeals
from the decisions of the commission
could be taken to the various circuit
courts of the country. This act Great
ed a Court of Commerce, consisting
of five circuit judges to which all ap-
peals in the future are to be brought.
The act also makes many other ma
edial character, of which l have not
the time to speak in detail. While
great progress in the matter of rail-
way regulation and control was made
by the act of 1916, the act of 1910
took a much further and a much more
substantial step in advance. Exper-
ience will, no doubt, demonstrate that
further remedial amendments may be
needed. After the law has been in
operation and tested we can better
determine what further steps to take
The subject is of vast and COM
plicated character and in this case, as
in many other important matters, re-
forms cannot be accomplished in a
day, month, or a year, or by the
wholesale.
One of the evils appertaining to
railway companies has been that of
over-capitalization. The act of 1910
provides for the appointment by the
president of commission to investi-
gate this subject, and l have no doubt
that the report Of this commission will

lead to material remedial legislation
on this subject. The public, as a
whole, are actuated by no hostility to
our railroads, and are quite willing
that they should receive reasonable
and fair compensation for their ser
vices. What the people object to is
making watered stock-stock not rep
resenting actual inVestments-the bas-
is, in whole or in part, for imposing
rates.
Railroad Employees.
AS it became necessary to relieve
and protect the shippers against the
railroads, so it also became necessary
to relieve and protect the employees of
the railroads, for the latter appeared
to be as oblivious in the one case as in
the other. To check the disposition
of the railroad companies to impose
undue and unreasonable hours of labor

ing all kinds of rebates and discrim-
nations, and for this purpose it has
proved quite effective, but this law,
too, failed to confer the rate-making
power.
The demand for further railway reg
ulation legislation continued to grow
apace. The public were very anxious
to have the rate-making power con-
ferred upon the commission, Presi-
dent Roosevelt took up the matter
and earnestly pressed it upon Con-
gress, and under this pressure Con-
gress finally responded by passing the
act of June 1906, largely amending
the act of 1887 in many important de-
tails and comforting upon the commits
sion the rate-making power, but limit
ing it's exercise to cases where com
plant was made. This was a great

BLOODY RACE WAR IN
CHATTANOOGA IMMINENT

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Feb. Word
comes from Hales Bar, where the big
government lock and dam is under con-
structlon, that a bloody race war is immi-
nent. Three hundred negroes, armed with
Swiss rifles, lined up outside the
camp and threatening to exterminate the
white workmen, of whom there are about
100. Late tonight telephone message
was received at the local police head
quarters asking for help. AT midnight
a big touring car loaded with officers
under the command OF Capt Burke, left
the city for the camp.
The white men are practically unarmed
and are In fear Of attac ck at any moment
The direct cause OF the trouble be-
tween the whites and blacks at the lock
was the appointment OF three negroes as
foremen, who were given authority over
the white workmen.
At 2;40 p. n. word comes from the
scene OF the riot that the police with
riot guns, have just arrived and the ne
groes have fallen back There Is hope
that an outbreak will be delayed at least
until morning.
