The 'profits of railroad management depend
largey p n the raids of wages paid to em-
ployes. The companies may embody In their

country"I ! a strfte tokes place on anyone

In short , this elnveu' thousand million part-
nerllp Is gIven unlimited power ot railway
consolidation : . all railway cmpetton any-
where , hi the country Is abolished by act of
congress : rates of fares and frelgll for the
whole country may be fixed by one managIng
board and put Into operation : and the wages
of the rlway workmen of the whole coun-

fall and legitimate construction and 'opera-

poserl bi.
In view of the tempt thus made to create
an eieven'thousanti ' 1110n railroad monopoly
with unlimited power to fix railroad rates
anti 'the wage ' df railroad labor , I feel I
to be my duty to ndeavor to secure certain
nmendn\ents \ ; The ! first Is as follows :
Preliminary to the filing of any such con-
tracts the parties thereto Ihnl present t
the commission sehedulel of their existing
rates of fares and frelJhts upon the classes
ot passengers and merchandise ( to which the
contract Is ) applcable , anti If on order of
rlllapprovat shul not be made time dommla

bo fommad to this question ConslRtent with
the proper protection ot the just rights ot

I Is trite that the bill under consideration
provIdes that after time pooling contracts

anti may make orders terminating such contracts -

To thIs mocker of contol I 10 10t believe
the publc shou1l bo forced to slbmll ,

There Is n fnndamentnl dlferenc between
myself and 10st of the advocates of pooling.
I believe thrt before I shou11 be alowerl
the rates Ihould bo fixed 'Ith the approval
of the comnmissbon and that they shoull not
be raised without the consent at

jUllgerl to bo sutcim. all not to bo IneressCI

opinion bo n condition precedent of ever

the other hand , Is that time rates should bo
fixed hy time companies themsel\es anti the
poolng contracts put Into operation and thai
nit persons thereafter , having pall time fixed

In so doing. ThIs radIcal diference between

Another nmfllment which I shal offer

Every such contract shall contain I slp-
utaton lndlng' each 1II'ty thereto , In case

merce commission may net ns arbitrators

Tho' necessity for this amendment Is ap-
paent from 'what I have already said. . It'an

Is to have time power given to It by congress

of the country certainly rovlslQn sbonld be

ATTORNEY WALKER'S OPIJN :
Mr. President I am aware that It vH be
saId that It Is not the desire or Intention of
all the railroads of tho' counlry to unite In
one pooling contract I thIs bill becomes ' a
Inw. I these disclaImer are sincere 'It may
wel be asked , why , then , should the vast
powers given by this bill bo asked for by
the railroad managers ; why ' should they not
ask for power to do exactly what they dc-
sire awl intend to do , and for nothing moro ?
To thIs question , In private conversation , I
have In vain sought a satisfactory answer.
What Is intended ( to be done In the first Instance -
stance Is shown by certain statements made
before the senate committee on Interstate
commerce 'in December , 1892 , by ! r. Aldacci
P. Walker , formerly interstate commerce
commissioner and now , an attorney , for the
great rairoads , of the 'c untry who are press-
lag thIs bill : ' '
Senator G'rman-lmfr.WnIker , It this pro-
posed bill should pass ; how many pools
would there be for eastern and western
freights In this country ? . . . .

Mr. Depew made a statemenl 10 the com-
mitee , as follows :
There arc between New York and Chicago
eight roads. ' * Suppose you , JlaVe , as
this bill provides , the ablty among the
eight lines between New York and Chicago
t contract with each other that they will
divide the busIness.
CONTROLLED DY EIGHT ROADS.
TakIng the foregoing statements as Indicat-
Ing all that the railroads propose to do immediately -
mediately . under time pending bill , and as-
uumln , that they do not Intend 10 makq on
eleven ! thousand million partnership In time
( fret Instance , although they demand that
tboy be given the authority ! to do So In case
they shall see fit . I Is advisable dUrIng the
discussion of thE bIll to know ' to what otenl
ths - pooling contracts are sure to go. I Is
my beleJ that tlmty ; wIl cover more than
one-hal of the total capitalization of the
railroads of the country and every one
knows that' the eight lines bOtwoen ChIcago
and ' the seaboard wIeld Irreslutble railroad
power In tho' nation. According to Mr. De-
pew , time first partnership under the act In-
stead of beIng an eleven thousand million
partnership , will be a six thousand million
partnes1mip. It' Is to secure precise Information -
tion 'upon' timis point that I asked time passage
of the resoltmtiomm of immquiry wimicim I have
presented.
In conclusion. I wisim to call tlmo attention
oftime aenate to the mnagnltumio anti gravity
of the questions involved In this bill , which
during' time expiring days of time democratic
congress Is to be pressed for passage , These
eight great railroads have decided that the
bill shall uaas time senate exactly as lii came
from time house. Not a " . " is to be crossed
nor aim "I" dOttel. All anicudimments are to
be voted down , both in committee amid in the
seimate , I amq myself willing , mit a time when
thmo railroads of time coummtry are suffering
under time universal depression Iii business ,
to vote for ammy legisiation. to wimlchm they
are jmvmtiy entitled. I amn ready to umomlify
to sonmo extent , amid under suitable conditiomma
precedent , time anti-pooling clause of time vres'
ent Interstate commerce law , but I ammm not
content witimomit a struggle to give all iower
over railroad rates for travel and freight
transportation and over the wages of thq
labor of 800,000 workmen to mmcii a six tlmomm-
sand million or eleven timousand mnillion cor-
poatioim and partnership monopoly as uill , be
