I The Nebraska railroad rates are i once more to stand a large sized I buost that will n:e:m that the people j of the state must pay the sum of ' ?3. 500.000 per year if the ruling of ( the interesiate commerce commission at Washington stands. At a previous j hearing the freight rated were boost ed 25 per cent a::d the passenger rate fixed at three ce:::.: per mile instead of the two cent lure tlu:t the Ne I :;rjie.ka state law provides for. Un- I dr the new ruling the raise inj freight rates will aggregate thirty five per cent while the passenger rates will reach 3.C cents per mile. The Xetrsaka state railway com mission and the ollire of the attorney general are preparing to resist the order and legal steps will be taken to do all possible to preserve the rights of the Nebraska rate making body to decide what shall and what shall not be charged in the state. The railroads have tiled suit in the federal district court to restrain the ?tate commission from interfering with the rates ordered by the inter i rt im i-nm'Ti! -.ii in . m-incine- the action j jn ttn name of the St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad company, seek ing to prevent the stopping of the new rates that are to go in effect on March 22nd. lt-ah-o se ks to have the two cent fare law and the statutes relating to commission orders declared unconsti- tutional and violative cf the rights j of the companies. i The attorneys for the railroad com- 1 panies appeared to be of the opinion that the court that acted first ob-j tained complete jurisdiction in the controversy to the exclusion of the other e-ourj. but Judge Hunger inti- ; mated that he believed the test was which court found that an order may be issued. The attorneys for the companies pointed out, however, that ilie actio:; in the state supreme court . covered onlv the matter of freight ' rutei. and this left the federal court ' free to deal with the passenger rate j phase of the controversy. The stake in the two lawsuits is ; ;.h ? same. ? 3.500.000 a year. If the .te commission wins the people who 1 i. patronize the railroads will save that ; r.ui:h; if the railroads win they ga.in ! that much. This sum represents the ; .iinerer.ee between the U5 per cent ir.erea-e in parser, ger and freight rate th;t the interstate commerce commission has made on rates on I::"rment- between states srd which it he- ordered shall ho collected cn ! "II shipments made within the state of Nebraska and the 25 per cent in-' crease in frMcht rates only that the . ate cN'mmisrion found to he all the j r. ilror.is are entitled to in crder to j receive a reasonable return on the' rc-.ocrtv in this state devoted to pub- j use. TV.- ense in the state court comes :t Friday morning. The commis cl.'itns to have sole juri-"diction v r r..:es within the state, and that the fcceal commission has no power o order it or the carriers to place: into effect any ether rates than those it fixes. BOADS CANNOT REDUCE WAGES rcdersl Labor Board Ruling in Erie Case is tfcst ITo Change be II?.de in Existing: Scale. : H i. r--h. 1-1. Right of rail- o-.-.us to arbitrarily reduce wages of n: 'novo was denied by the federal railroad labor board in a decision to day. The beard's ruling was contained in a decision on i lie petition of em ployes of the Erie road to prevent the management from putting into ef drastic salary reductions and changes in hours of work. No charge shall be made in the existing scale and working conditions before the board has an opportunity to hear the case. The hearing was c-t for February 23. On January 31, the announcement of the federal board reads the Erie reduced the wages of its track men to 30 cents an hour; ordered train dispatchers to work seven daj-s a week without relief and ordered the deduction of the January earnings of telegraphers whether they worked or not that day. The united brotherhood of main tenance of way employes and rail road shop laborers and the American train dispatchers' association immed iately protested the reduction. Today's ruling by the federal 1 oar.l orders the reduction to be held in abeyance until the formal hearing February 23, balding the Erie's order, was contrary to article 3, section 6 cf decision No. 2 of the board. Further conference between the employes and the road in an attempt to settle the controversy was sug gested by the board. CENIRAUA FIGURE NOT i PEE'vUTTED TO SPEAK Raymond, Wash.. Feb. 13.
