The Pullman Car,

San Francisco, June 11.-"Can a
man live on s25 a month";"
"Our pay rate is based on the as
sumption that the travelling public is
willing to contribute something to-
ward the support of those that serve
it's comforts"
In that question by Commissioner
Loveland of the state railroad COM
mission and the answer by Richmond
Dean, general manager of the Pullman
company, were summed up today the
commissions reasons for it's absolute
dissatisfaction, frankly expressed by
Commissioner Eshelman, presiding,
with the reforms instituted by the
company in its California service
Such an attitude, Commissioner
Eshelman found "revolting;" it went,
he thought, to the root of the COM
plainants against the company, both
from it's employees and the travelling
public and explained why the list OF
reforms, betterments and measures OF
relief and promotion submitted were
found of less weight than the contin-
uance of one evil-the tipping system
In a word, Commissioner Eshelman
found the company willing to make
any improvement that did not cost
money, and that, he said, was not
enough to convince the commission
that a sincere effort was being made
to meet half way it's recommendations
for the correction Of abuses.
AS a result, before the hearing
closed, the commission indicated
strongly its purpose to make thor
orgh investigation of all rates within
the boundaries of California charged
by the Pullman company.
'If you are getting enough in rates, >
said Commissioner Eshelman, then
you should pay your employees enough
to live on We can't force you to pay
salaries, but if you can't afford to pay
them we can raise the rates."
Elsewhere to the same effect, Com
missioner Eshelman said even more
plainly: I'VE are willing that the
wages of employees should be cut one
half or to double the rate the public
now pays in order to be just. But we
protest that you and other public serv-
ice corporations cannot continually
pass the buck to this commission. II

and to pay your men decent wages"

railroad commissioners Of Montana,
made an argument before the inter
state commerce commission, to COM
pei the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul, the Great Northern, the North
ern Pacific and other railway lines, to
reduce the freight rates on grain ship
ments from Montana points to Min
neapolis and Seattle. He contended
that the railways get about one fourth
as much as the farmer on grain
shipped from Montana, current prices
being &C cents bushel and freight
from II to 80 cents a hundred pounds.
The total grain production in Montana,
he said, had increased to 50,000,000
bushels a year, and of this the larger
part is grown in the eastern part of
the state, and is not shipped over
mountain grades. The part hauled
over the mountains, however, has an
easy lift, and the disadvantage is
overcome by the long haul down hill
after the summit is reached. The lines
are all transcontinental, and the ex
pense of handling freight is reduced to
a minimum The business in Montana
is increasing and the state should not
be required to make up the deficien
cies arising from a lack of business in
other states. Mr.. Walsh compared the
charges III other parts of the country
with those which are in effect in Mon
tana, and claimed that, for similar
service, the rates in Montana are ex-
cessive. Justice and public policy, he
said, require that rates be readjusted
practically upon the basis proposed by
the rate expert of the Montana COM
missioners. Judge Donnelly of the
Northern Pacific appeared for the
