fore It Is Promulgated-Tht
Express Propositions.
Austin. Texas Norambar It Th rail-
load oommuauoa this sXternoaa took up
for consideraUoa and dlseneaioa th three
big propositions considered In open hear-
ing Thursday and yesterday. . .
As to ths question at a Texas classifica-
tion ths commission decided to adopt
on. That I as far aa tt goes at that
time a ' ' V"'A
.Chairman Storey aald: " Tt msy ba
months before It I promulgated and tha
details have not been discussed. "
Commissioner Colquitt remarked that
Texas would have a claselflcation ot It
'own aad it will ba promulgated. ' "From
all tbe data we now hav before as ur
present proposition Is nothing mors nor
lsss than the Western classification with
the commission's numerous exceptions
and ths railroad men kicked Just to be
kicking." : '. ' ; ..' '
As stated above th details hav not
been considered so tar la the slightest
degree end nothing Is known as to lum-
ber and minimum weights . The status
of affairs Is that 'the eoanmlssioa haa
formally decided to have a Texaa classi-
fication of soma kind. - ' -
Regarding the two propositions effect-
ing th express companies tba express
classification aad th plea of having
th railroads engage m th express bust-
ess the . commission decided ta wait
until pending litigation in the courts Is
disposed of before It acta finally la th
premises. Pending litigation involve th
Injunction - suit In tbe - Federal aourt
against th commleeloa's express tariff
and th suits by th attorney general to
cancel th permits granted by the State
to th express companies for the alleged
rteson that they do not maintain gen-
eral offices la Texas. As It will be som
Urn before this Is disposed of th x-
prus companies and th railroads will
hsvs a good breathing spell before th
question ie again brought forth by the
commission. '
The attorney general today submitted
to th commission a part of his answer
In th express Injunction suit. When It is
reedy to be filed It will be somewhat
lengthy. -
