Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1905 — Position of the Railroads. [ARTICLE]

Position of the Railroads.

President Fish’s reply to Secretary Taft’s speech on railway rate regulation, thinks the Baltimore News, Independent, is significant of the position railways take on the question. It says: “They will fight government rate legislation to a finish, and fight it now. Any bill which will really give to the government the power to fix rates will pass congress not only against the opposition of practically every railroad tnan, but against that of every ally which the railroads can bring into the field.”
