Listened sut said Little.

The discussion on the part OF the
railroad men was general. Tic presi-
dent did not commit himself IN any
way. In fact. Il wa said that he made
but very few remarks during the In
terview. A. the conclusion ~ the con-
ference the president tod his visitors
that he would give their statements
Tue consideration IN ANYTHING he
might do affecting The railroad inter
ssts.
Attorney General Wickcrsham was
The first 10 leave the conference. He
started out Of the executive Offices
with the speed Of a skyrocket dcclar-
ng that he could say nothing abso-
utely nothing.
The railroad presidents were al
most equally uncommunlcative Mr..
Brown. Of the New York Central said:
we came 10 Offer o protest against
the proposed amendments 10 the in
terstate commerce law and We reCeiv-
ed a respectful hearing
Mr.. Finley. Of the Southern railway,
added that the protest was a general
one against proposed railroad legisla-
ton at this time Further than this
the railroad men would say nothing.
They declared that they had asked for
the interview. ard that under the cir
cumstanccs any statements concern
ing 1t must necessarily come from the
White House.
II may b. stated that during the
conference the railroad men bore down
strongly on the fact that the country
was just recovering from the i'll ef-
fects of the panic Of two years ago
and the agitation over the tariff. and
that prosperity was returning. and in
consequence K would be disastrous
not only to the railroads but 10 busi-
ness generally. TO bring on long
drawn out Fight over railroad matters.
They urged that the situation be al
lowed to remain as 1t IS for the pres
ent, and that opportunity be given to
business interests to recover from the
depression which followed the panic
and the tariff discussion.
Special stress was laid on the pro-
posed Amendment 10 the interstate
commerce law. empowering the COM
mission to make physical valuation OF
railroads. In fact. II may be said that
practically every part Of the program
was subject TO an objection from the
railroad officials. When they became
convinced that the president was de-
termined 10 send in a message on the
subject Of all.cad legislation they be-
gan fling protest against certain fea-
lures which thcy consider the most
objectionarlo in me proposed program.

TAFT STANDS PAT
RailwayChiefSFailtOS
Him From Reforms.
OBJECTED TO EVERYTHING
Six Railroad Presidents Argued and
Pleaded Against All the Pro-
posed Amendments TO Inter-
state Commerce Law.

Washington. Jan. 4.-Six chiefs OF
great American railroad systems
pleaded and argued with President
Taft at the White House for two
hours against any change In the inter
state commedce laws by the present
session of congress.
II Is understood that they sought to
convince the president that further
legislation at this time would upset
conditions in the railway and indus
trial world which generally had been
riShting themselves in the last two
years.
AT the close Of the conference the
railway men left the White House
looking decidedlS glum. They absolute
" refused 20 say anything about the
conference President Taft merely an
nounced verbally that he would send
his message on the proposed reforms
in the interstate commerce act and the
Sherman antitrust law to congress in
accordance with his prearranged plan.
This announcement Is taken to mean
that the president has STOOD pat on
his program. which includes recon-
mendations for legislation that will
provide for physical valuations Of the
railway property of the country, VIII
prohibit railroads from owning or &C
qulring stock In any competing line,
and which will give the interstate
commerce commission power 10 super
wise future issues Of stocks and bonds
and all other obligations Of common
carriers. The last named provision Is
intended to prevent stock watering
and stock juggling
The six railroad presidents who at
tended the conference represent the
most powerful financial interests In
the United States. They were Messrs.
McCrea. OF the Pennsylvania. Baer OF
The Reading. Lovott. Of the Union Pa
cihc aud the Southern Pacific and
