commission and its work. He said:
“Some years ago two bills were pend-
ing in congress, one by John H Reagan
of Texas and another by Seuator Cul
lom, providing for regulation of rviD
roads aud their rates by the Federal
government. Mr Resgan’s bill did not
look to a commission, bnt sought to
preveut pooling, extortiou and discrim-
ination, throwing the violations into the
courts The two houses put both bills
together, and the outcome was a com
mission, the principles of which are
well known today in the matter of
interstate traffic.

Tna hearing od the coupler and air

Clements, was read of all over the conn

their best legal and executive talent,
wbile in resistance, necessary, of the
trainmen; Clark, of the conductors,
and Arthur ot the engineers, attended
to the interests of the railroad workers.
The hearing lasted for two days, during
which time there was some sensa-
tional passages between mana
gers and labor leaders. The general
manager of a leading eastern trank line
contended an enforcement of tue com-
mission’s order meant a redaction of
the employes’ wages This was taken
np by Mr. Morrisy of the trainmen,
who retorted that in the matter of wage
redaction the army of railroad laborers
would have to be consulted, and there
upon insisted the order be enforced.
