Legislature Decreed That 1000 Poub&s Should Be Deducted From Car Welsh U tor Stakes. SEATTLE. Wash.. June 10. (Special.) The railroads will pay no attention to "lumber bills" passed by the last Legislature providing that 1000 pounds shall be deducted from the weignt ox cars for sldestakes. and that all cars shall be weighed at common points and those weights accepted in making out transportation charges, except In so far as the shipments apply to tms state. When the lumbermen passed the bills they expected them to affect shipments from this state to Eastern terminals. The lumbermen took the position that contracts for shipment would be made in this state and tho railroads could be forced to comply with purely local leg islation on Interstate business. The railroads point out that If this Dosltlon were correct then each state through which they run could legislate on both passenger ana xreigm dusiubsb and Impose conditions that would en tirely upset the business or tne car riers. It was determined at a conference held here several weeks ago by repre sentatives of the traffic ana legal de partments of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and O. R. & N. that these two bills would not apply to in terstate commerce. At the time The Oregonian printed the . result of the conference. Subsequently the lumbermen took up the question against the railroads. President E. G. Griggs, of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Associa tion, appealed to the Northern Facinc and Great Northern lor rulings ana re ceived no answer from the northern Pacific The Great Northern told him bluntly that the Interstate commerce would nqt do aueciea oy ioc&i legisla tion. The new laws went Into effect this week, but the railroads have taken no action. The legal departments will be given the burden of outlining luture ; policies, but It must do aiong tno una of Ignoring both acts so far as Inter state commerce is concemca. Lumbermen threaten to take the matter Into court as soon as a test rnjqft can bo made out. The Nebraska society or Oregon wiu assist in entertaining the visiting lumber men.
