Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 September 1906 — The Railroads and the Law. [ARTICLE]

The Railroads and the Law.

The executive officials and attorneys of the railroads west of Chicago have held a meeting to find out "where they are at.” They all have a different idea of just what the new railroad rate bill requires. They agreed, however, that the railroads must stick together and declared it was the purpose of every road to obey the law both in letter and spirit. They need not waste any time on the latter proposition, for the interstate commerce commission will see the law is carried out in spite of railroad opposition.
