Railroads Ask Rate Increase.

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission now in session at Washing
ton, D. c., is hearing arguments
which are being presented by the
railroads in substantiation of their
request asking for a general in
crease of fifteen per cent. in freight
rates.

as stated by the railroads in sup
port of their claim, such facts are
common and generally known.
Sometime ago the rates were es-
tablshed by law and then consider
ed just according to conditions at
that time, but since then the gen

FATAL ACCIDENT THURSDAY.
EmplOye of Street Railway Company
Meets Instant Death by Being Run
Over by Street Car.

An accident in which ID. T. Wat
ers, an employe of the street rail
way company, lost his life, oc-
Cured shortly after 7 o clock Thurs
day morning. Waters fell from a
flat car and was ground to pieces
beneath the wheels of Il street car
which was pushing the flat car.
Death was instantaneous and the
body was removed to Charlon-
neau undertaking rooms.
Waters was foreman of a gang
employed at construction work for
the street railway company west Of
town. Thursday morning they were
about to start the sttinging of a
new trolley wire from a short dis
tanCe west of Hurley to the end of
the car line at Gile. The reel con
tanning the trolley wire was in a
frame on a fiat car and the fiat car
was being pushed by a street car.
The start was to be made on this
end and work west and when the
accident happened the cars were a
short distance this side of the Wind
sor crossing and coming towards
Hurley. Waters was standing OH
the frame holding the trolley reel
and when the cars reached a Cross
wire the reel frame failed TO clear,
topping it over and Waters fell be-
tween the fiat car and the street car
and before the motorman could
bring them to stop was ground
beneath the wheels.
The deceased was 28 years OF age
and had been employed by the To-
cal street railway company butthree
weeks, coming to Ironwood from
San Francisco, Cal. He has a
mother living at Kewaunee, H., to
which place the remains will be
shipped for burial. A year ago he
was married at San Francisco,
where his wife now resides. He was
a member of the Odd Fellows lodge
at East Moline, H. A brother ar
rived here yesterday morning and
will return with the remains to
Kewaunee.

Improvements.

/ lNlpl ONemeutS.
The railroads are quite different
ly situated than any other kind of
business enterprise on account of
the fact tha, other business inter
eSts can protect themselves by in
creasing the selling cost to REIN
burse them for the higher cost of
operation.
If railroads are to be operated as
successfully as private enterprises,
it must be made possible and with
in reason to do business upon a re
munerative basis.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission will without doubt consid
er the evidence from every point of
view and i'll a fair manner for the
interests of the public and railroads
alike and it is believed if found the
increased cost of operation makes
it necessary for carriers to earn
more revenue, they will be given
an opportunity to do SO.
The petition for increases are al
so before the Wisconsin Railway
Commission for IS per cent advance
and it is only reasonable to believe
they will also be decided in a man
ner absolutely fair to all concerned.
