We went to Chicago for the open
ing Of the rate case. Eighteen state
commissions in the west appeared
and joined Thorne in the fight
against increased rates. This is the
greatest array that has ever entered
the lists AT last the west is aroused
and is determined that the railroads
shall not unjustly advance the rates,
either passenger or freight They all
turned to Thorne as the leader and he
has prepared the case as none has ever
before been prepared on behalf OF the
people The advances asked by the
railroads amount TO about siV,VVV,VVV
on freight and about S40,000,000 on
passenger rates. The amount involved
is therefore greater than has ever
been in issue in any case In the his
tory of Jurisprudence. It Is a matter
of great pride to our county that one
OF our own citizens Is leading in this
great fight.
After spending the day at the near
ing we went to the headquarters OF
the trainmen of the United States.
There we found another great battle
in progress before board OF arbitra-
ton. It involves sixteen articles re-
latln2 10 the wages, uOufS O1 WOSh,

all the western railroads. When the
agreement for this arbitration was
signed all ninety-eight Of the western
roads were within twenty two hours

had agreed to arbitrate but the rail-
road magnates declined until Presi-

playing into the hands of the special

fight on the highway commission made
by combination which dominates the

machinery concerns as well as the
prejudice which naturally would come
from law requiring the supervision
