Aors. on EXPRESS Reductions.

After battling, for two days with ex-
pert representatives of the three eX-
press companies operating in Tonnes
see, the state railroad commission
came to a practical agreement with
the companies by which rates Will be
eventually considerably reduced in
the state. When the conferences be-
gan the commission presented a SEIZED
ule of rates prepared und<r the imme-
date directions of Commissioner
Avent by ]. o. Hanley, expert rate
maker. This was met by counter
schedule prepared by the companies,
and the officials of the companies
backed up their work with much evil
dence and argument. A strong effort
was made TO reach a satisfactory
agreement, the commission and the
companies each making concessions
c. A Ryan of the interstate com
merce commission heard all the dis
cussions and took an active part in
harmonizing the differences.
Substantially, the companies COM
promise means a decrease in the rates
on merchandise, effective May next,
of 20 to 20 per cent and an eventual
reduction on commodities of 10 to 20
per cent. The commodity rate will
stand as at present until September /
next, when the companies are to pre-
sent schedules making reductions in
line with the reductions in merchan-
disc rates.
The rate on eggs, butter and poultry /
was a source of considerable discus !
sion, but there will be no change as to /
these pending the result of the order /
of the interstate commerce commits
sion that the express companies file
with them tariffs on these products.
The state commission, in holding up
on rates on these particular products,
desires to follow the action of the in
terstate commerce commission, so as
to have uniformity.

come effective May /, and the addi-

Hucksters Are Victorious.


The hucksters and country produce
dealers Rho have been fighting the
ordinance prohibiting the use of the
public square in Nashville for the sale
of their goods unless they pay city
tax, won a signal victory in the circuit
court when Judge Matthews decided
a test suit in their favor. The court
held that the contested ordinance is
unqualifiedly a piece of class legisla-
ton and is unconstitutional on that
account. The opinion declares that
the hucksters have an absolute right,
from long and undisturbed usage and
for other reasons, to use the square
for the sale of their products, and any
effort to GUST them or collect special
taxes from them is unlawful. 1t is
further said that the. ordinance is
plainly arbitrary and unfair on its
face. Counsel for the city will ask
for a new hearing, and failing will
appeal the case.

(SDecial to TriDune.)

Washington, May 27.-James Fades
Howe, the Millionaire Hobo, is in
Washington, in the interests of the
unemployed of the United States.
Delegates from the various industrial
centers of the eastern part of the
United States will be present to dis
cllss the question Of securing employ
ment. The president and various SEN
ators have been invited to be present
at the meetings, which will consider
three problems. The first is to Sc
cure an interstate free labor bureau.
The second one, which the association
is particularly interested in, is to Sc
cure some legislation that will permit
the free transportation OF farm hands
to the harvest fields under the super
vision Of the interstate commerce
commission. The third, which is "a.
Their indefinite, is an insurance by the
government against unemployment.
Hoboes Lose Free Trip.
The one which the association is
taking up Is of particular interest to
the farming regions of the country, in
that it might result in securing help
when needed. Before the passage of
the railroad rate law, a few years
ago, it was customary for the rail
roads to transport laborers to the har-
vest fields for the nominal price Of
one dollar for any distance. Harvest
hands could secure several months
work by starting in at the beginning
of harvest in the south and working
north. After the passage of the rail
road rate law, which forbade the
granting of any special privileges to
any class of people, this practice of
giving free transportation, was of
course, discontinued. At the time the
railroad rate bill a up and this
question was under consideration Sen
ator McCumber very strongly present
ed the proposition that something
should be done to facilitate the trans
portation of laborers during the har-
vest season and advocated at that
time that something should be done
towards that end. .>.

NEW PHASE OF TOLLS QUESTION
IN the matter Of the Panama canal
tolls it appears that the shipping
trust, which controls the coastwise
trade, particularly of the Atlantic
coast, has started in on a campaign
for free tolls through the labor or
carnations. Every congressman is
now receiving hundreds of petitions
from various members of labor or
CARNATIONS urging that the free tolls
be not repealed, as by reason of free
tolls the building of ships would be
increased and labor would be given
more employment. {,
