Don't Like Orders.

leiegram.; w no lias tne most au
thority, Woodrow Wilson, president
of the United States, or Victor Wil
son, railway commissioner of Nebras
ka?
This question was being fought out
before the State Railway commission
today covering the matter of opening
and closing the freight houses of the
state, particularly those at Omaha.
Commissioner Wilson is presiding at
the hearing.
Jurisdiction of the State Railway
commission in issuing an order desig
nating the closing time for the freight
houses at Omaha as 4:30 p. in., and 1
p. m. on Saturdays, when the roads
desire to close at 4 o'clock and 1
o'clock, is challenged. The order also
requires the carriers to receive con
signments of less than carload lots
after 30 minutes notice has been given.
Ihe railroads refuse to obey the
order on the grounds that as the
roads are in the hands of the covern-
ment for operation that the state com
mission has no authority to make this
or any other order covering transpor
tation of freight and further that it is
necessary to close the freight houses
earlier m order to give time to attend
to government shipments.
Most of the ground gone over in the
previous hearing was covered today
by Byron Clark of the Burlington
filing 4 written resistance to the rul
ing. A number of shippers from
Omaha and other points were present
aNthje hearing.
