TAKES NEW FORM
Railway Commission Says Attempt
is Being Made to Line Up Com

ADVISES TO AWAIT INQUIRY

LINCOLN, Feb. 23.-The Nebraska
Railway commission in a statement
made public today declares an or
ganized attempt is being made to en-
list the commercial clubs of the state
in movement to work for increased
railroad rates, and that this move is
being encouraged by William Hirth,
president of the Federated CONNER
cial Clubs of Missouri, who is now in
Nebraska on speaking trip. Atten-
ton is called in the statement to the
western advance rate hearing which
is to open in Chicago March 4. The
statement says:
1T has been brought to the attention
Of the commission that a campaign
among the commercial clubs of the state
Is being conducted for the purpose of
Inducing these organizations to adopt
resolutions favoring increased railroad
rates. William Hirth. president Of the

Is soliciting speaking engagements be-
Tore the clubs through Chief J.. B. Haynes
of Omaha. His address is on the sub
sect. Trade Conditions. Present and
Prospective" and is said to be an able
discussion of commercial conditions. Dur
tng the course of 1t. however, he makes
, strong plea for the railroads and urges
The adoption OF resolution approving
their efforts to secure increased rates.
1.-THE Nebraska commission, with some
twelve or fifteen other state commissions
is engaged in an investigation to deter
mine whether the railroads are justified
lin raising their freight and passenger
1rates In this territory. The attitude Of
the commission is that II the investiga,
tion develops the iced Of more revenue
DIV the carriers that they should have 4
without further protest. but it does no
believe the rates should be advanced
until that fact has beeen thoroughly es
tablished. For that reason It is the opin
ion that the commercial interests Of tn,
state should be slow in taking any &C
tion that might embarrass or interfer,
with such investigation. particularly wheI
