PULLMAN PORTERS to mm RAISE Are Dissatisfied with Custom of Earning Livelihood by "Tips" System.
ACTUAL PAY VERY SMALL OLD TIME PORTER RUNNING THE PANHANDLE TELLS THE TROUBLES MEMBERS HIS PROFESSION HAVE. ON OF OF It is probable that the porers on all Pennsylvania trains entering Richmond, will ask for an increase in wages within the next few weeks. Under present conditions porters are about the poorest paid men in the rail road service, they depending largely upon the "tips" for their enumeration for services rendered. In fact the "tipping" system has become so general upon all the railroad lines of the country that in two instances railroad companies through their porters were making too much money and the actual salaries were cut three dollars on the week. In speaking of the matter yesterday an old porter on the road and who makes daily trips through Richmond, said that the majority of the travelers "tipped," the sums varying from ten cents to one dollar. He however said that on many trips the porters were up against it proper, and hardly a single "tip" would be forthcoming from the passengers. On such trips he said, actual wages earned were meager and as the result it cut in greatly upon the months earnings. Instead of using "tips" as surplus earnings and spending money the custom is reversed among railroad porters they using their salaries for spending money while the tips are saved in crse the recipient of such is of that turn of mhid. What action will be taken by the Pullman company and the railroad officials in regard to the matter of the increase is not known, but the porters hope to get auite a neat sum in addition to that which they are now drawing. GIVE NO SPECIAL BATES SOLDIERS PAY FULL FARE Union Pacific and Northwestern Roads Insist on Regular Tariff for Carrying Boys in Blue and Army Officers Are Angry. Publishers Pressj Omana, .ei., .jan. s). The Union Pacific and Northwestern roads refuse to make any special rates to the government for shipment of soldiers en route to the Philippines to and from Saa Francisco. Officers express themselves in forceful language over the action of the railroads. Bids were opened In Omaha for the transportation of 600 men, 500 horses and a large amount of equipment from Forts Robinson and Rinsell to San Francisco. Only the Union Pacific and Northwestern submitted bids and both bids were for regular and full rates. Railroad officials say the government will secure no more cheap fares.

The first real improvement in the local situation here was noted Tuesday, when the Wabash river commenced to fall rapidly. The village of Taylorville. a suburb, was practically wiped off the map, the waters carrying a number of houses miles below the town, where they are crushed together in a huge drift. The loss falls heavily on people of the poorer classes, who are left without homes except tents provided by the city.

JEFFERSON DAVIS. Publishers Pressl
Little -Kock, Arfc., Jan. 29. Former Governor Jefferson Davis was elected U. S. Senator by, the Arkansas legislature today, receiving 118 votes. Former Congressman Breckinridge received one vote and John V. Worthington, late republican candidate for governor, five votes. N , RATE BILL FIGHT (Continued from Page One. ) Its scope, it was agreed that it would be policy and also politics to permit it to be advanced without opposition and the caucus decision prevailed despite 'attempts of the democrats to amend it. Senator Hawkins bill is an appalling instrument to the unlawful combines, but it is assorted that to the legitimate lines of trade there is nothing in the measure that can bfc considered obnoxious. Here is a statement in explanation made today by Senator Hawkins to the Palladium representative: "Jly bill embodies the ideas of several able attorneys and senators who have studied the question of unlawful combinations and trusts. The most successful law ever passed against unlawful combinations and j trusts was the Sherman Anti-Trust j law. Under that law, the government is prosecuting such cases as the Standard Oil trust, the Harvester trust and others, and successfully prosecuted the Northern Securities company, case, under that 'law. "My bill is taken principally from the Sherman Anti-Trust law. It is not any more drastic than the Sherman act. Besides all of the features of the Sherman act, it also has those of the expedition act of congress,, providing that cases prosecuted under this act shall be expedited ahead of other litigation. The bill also contains an immunity clause under which no person who ha3 not been subpoenaed regularly and examined, under oath, can become immune from prosecution, and under which examination of persons connected with a corporation does not J -- . a; u . I I . i.uyi imuiujie wui,wiuuu8 uy the persons may be employed, ims is necessary Dy reason oi uie decision of Judge Humphrey in the government suit against the packers at Chicago, in the famous immunity decision. "The meaning of the words used in this bill are defined in section 2 and are enlarged beyond their usuad meaning. "Section 3 prohibits stifling, restraining, retarding or preventing free com pet t ion in every kind of business, manufacture or production. It also covers pools and combination between bidders, under which would come bridge company pools. "Section 7 makes the act cumulative of and supplemental to all laws affecting it and the common law ot the state, and does not in any manner displace the present common law regarding unlawful combinations and restraints of trade. "Sections 11 and 12 are similar to the provisions of the Valentine law, the present law in Ohio, under which prosecutions are being made against trusts. "Section 14 specifically covers combinations among bidders and is similar to the Ohio statute. "Section 15 cives the same dimages as the Sherman Anti-Trust act, passed by congress, for violations against individuals. The . act allows any natural person to brin? information on I his own relation to prosecute viola tions of the act. "The act provides a prosecuting attorney's fee as costs aeainst defendants in case of successful prosecution, .and fee not exceeding $250., "This bill is practically a copy of the Ohio law and the Sherman Anti-

Named Senator.
Senator Davis has been three times governor of Arkansas and prior to holding that office was attorney general. When occupying the last named place he expressed the hope that he would some day be sent to the senate. Today his wish was emphatically gratified. Trust law, excepting that the penalties of this bill are much less than those of the Ohio law and the Sherman act. "For three successive sessions of the Indiana legislature, so-called "Anti-Trust Laws" have been passed by the legislature. These bills were all good and effective ones before being mutilatd by numerous amendments. They were only passed after they had been made effective. One word can change the whole sense of this bill or any other anti-trust law, and the enemies of the bill will try to render it ineffective by changing a few words in it. The bill has been carefully prepared and passed upon by able lawyers, and approved by them, and gives to the state the power that it should have had many years ago to prevent unlawful combinations and restraints of trade. "The state has been prevented from securing relief by reason of powerful corporation lobbies heretofore controlling the legislatures, and it is very important that the members of this legislature should throw1, off any suspicion of corporate control bv passing this bill without killing it with amendments."

FREIGHT HAULED VIA DRAY ROUTE
Indianapolis and Eastern Holds to Its Traffic While Litigation is On. MANY WAGONS WERE USED BY MEANS OF DRAYS FREIGHT WAS MOVED OVER THE BOUNDARY LINE AND THERE LOADED ON WAITING CARS. A new move on the part of the Indianapolis and Eastern traction company, inaugurated yesterday morning demonstrated to those citizens who thought it possible the corporation would abandon its freight business at this end of the line, that they were laboring under a delusion. Very early in the day a large number of drays, many of them owned by the company appeared on Main street, and began hauling freight intended for points west of the city to the West Richmond car barns, where it was quickly loaded on waiting cars. Most all of the freight was first taken to the Eighth street " depot, where it was checked and weighed, although many of the local shippers having drays of their own hauled the goods directly to the car barns. The traction officials say that while this arrangement is very inconvenient it will be in vogeu for some time to come. In the meantime the Dayton and Western adheres to its policy of handling no freight in or out of Richmond and officials thereof declare that they will continue to do so until there has been a settlement of the matter in the courts. There is a rumor in circulation that if the Indianapolis & Eastern is defeated in a legal tribunal a freight depot will be erected on North E street, a line being constructed from North Fifth to the last named thoroughfare.
