For Relief of Employes and Shippers
Senator Wilsey of Frontier has started
the anti railroad legislative ball to roll
ing He has been visited by railroad
men of McCook employed by the Bur
lington and asked to offer bills for their
relief and the relief of shippers It ap
pears from the stories from McCook rail
road men that the plan of holding freight
cars until a full load is secured at a way
station not only inconveniences shippers
but compels train crews to remain on
duty an unreasonably long time It is
alleged that the freight trains on tho
Burlington under the Hill management
do not move ten miles an hour count
ing stopsand tho train crews are obliged
to be on duty almost twenty four hours
Tho rules of railroads designate sixteen
hours as the maximum for trainmon
Senator Wilsey has introduced a bill
making twelve consecutive hours the
maximum Senator Wilsey told the del
egation of railroad men that if they could
not enforce the sixteen hour rule there
was little show to reduce the maximum
to twelve hours He said the trainmen
were afraid to carry the matter into court
for fecirof being discharged
Senator Wilsey has gone further and
yesterday introduced a bill requiring
railroads to carry freight at a speed of
ten miles an hour after loading the
freight to be loaded within twenty four
hours after being delivered at the depot
This does not apply to live stock which
is supposed to be loaded on short notice
This bill is directed against the full car
load lots insisted upon by the Burling
ton Shippers complain that freight is
held until a car load is obtained and the
delay causes damage by reason of change
in margins and failure to deliver on
schedule time It recalls the story of
the station agent who telegraphed to
headquarters that a man had been killed
at tho depot and asked what disposition j
should be made of the body Hold for j
a carloar came back the stero typed
answer from headquarters
Bowman of Nuckolls has introduced
a bill imposing a fine or demurrage
charge of 1 for each day a railroad fails
to supply a car to a shipper after twenty-
four hours notice has heen given that a
car is desired Lincoln Journal
Telephone For Railroad Use
Stops are being taken by the Burling
ton to elaborate upon the telephone sys
tem now in use by the comrjany in the
operation of its trains Improvements
amounting to about 830000 are to be
made A large amount of copper wire
will also be strung between Denver and
Omaha The Burlington has been ex
perimenting with telephones for about
two years and has found the system very
satisfactory upon the branch lines where
it has been used
One of the Burlington mon said It
is not tho intention to supplant tho tele
graph with the telephone but we find
there is a great deal of business that can
be handled more expeditiously over the
telephone than over the telegraph It
also saves a groat deal of time and en
ables us to go into detail where details
are cumbersome and undesirable in using
the telegraph wires It also saves a
great amount of correspondence By
nsiug the tfelephone we can accomplish
more than in several letters and tele
grams There are some things for which
the telephone will not answer and on the
other hand there aro a great many things
for which it is better to use the tele
phone Omaha Bee
