RAILROAG BOSSES RELATE TROUBLES Publicity Policy Is Adopted to Educate the People. W. W. FINLEY ORIGINATOR Attempt to Mold Public Opinion by Statement of Facts Concerning Accomplishment of Transpor tation Tasks on Lines. NEW TORK. July 6.-fSpecial.)-The railroads of the country for more than three months have been carrying on the most unique campaign of educ-ation In history. No public announcement of it ever has been made, and it is doubtful If any one, except those who planned and are engineering: It. has the slightest sus picion of Its existence. W. W. Finley. president of the Southern Railway, is the head and center of, this movement, and a half dozen of the most noted men In railroad circles. Including B. II. Harrl man, ably are assisting him. The purpose of the campaign is to try to acquaint the people of the United States witn tne work the lines are doing, especially the manner in which they are endeavoring to accomplish their great transportation tasks. It Is an attempt, backed by unlimited means, to mold pub lic opinion legitimately by plain state ments of fact backed by arguments, and by appeals to the reason and sober Judg ment of the people. Antidote to Prejudice. Its aim is to furnish a slow but sure antidote to the alleged poison of preju dice which railroad men believe has been engendered, partly by Ignorance and partly by past abuses, of which the sys tems have been guilty. Whether the campaign Is having the slightest effect Is not known to a certainty, even by those most closely Identified with tlio movement. After several conferences, it was de cided that the big men in the transpor tation world would have to "loosen up" and become press agents, after the man ner of President Roosevelt himself. Soon after that James J. HIU, one of the "press agents" selected by the rail roads, delivered his now famous speech. In which he admitted that the railroads had not kept pace with the demands of traffic and would have to spend $1,000, 000,000 a year for the next five years tr catch up. It drew a front page "story" In every newspaper In the land, and ed itorials galore followed. The small coterie of railway presidents In "the East were exceedingly well pleased with this beginning. The Hill speech was followed by a. "corker" from A. B. Stlckney, president of the Great Western. Brown Becomes Mellow. Then followed several of the "newsi est" kind of talks and speeches by W. C. Brown, senior vice-president of the New York Central lines. He has en Joyed the reputation for 30 years of being a taciturn man of few words and of no public utterances worth men tioning. The most active of all the "press agents" Is President Finley, who has delivered scores of strong speeches since his election to the staff. It' Is also a part of the campaign that whenever he may be asked to write for a magazine, the president must comply, instead of, as formerly, excusing- himself by the plea of lack, of time. Edward H. Harriman also has played a conspicuous part in this campaign. The entire country was startled some months ago when they saw a front page interview with the hitherto sphinx-like magnate. It was followed by many others, and since then the. newspaper men, who formerly never got beyond the barred railing of the Harriman suite on Broadway, have been made welcome, and Harriman has been a prolific source of "copy." SPOKANE RETURNS TO ATTACK Sues Railroads for Alleged Over charge on Waterworks Material. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 6. The City of Spokane to day tiled with the Interstate Commerce Commission three new complaints against the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Union Pacific railways based on the same principles that form the foundation of the case recently argued before the Commis sion. This time Spokane complains of the rate on sheet steel shipped from Pittsburg. It appears that the rate from Pittsburg to Spokane on sheet steel Is J1.213 per 100 pounds whereas the rate on the same commodity to Puget Sound is only 75 cents per 100 pounds. Spokane alleges that, because of the shorter haul, she is entitled to a rate compiled on the mileage basis and. Inasmuch as Spokane is 300 miles from Seattle, she asks that her rate on steel be fixed by the Commission at 66.3 cents per hundredweight. As in the former complaint, Spokane totally overlooks the fact that Puget Sound enjoys terminal rates because of water competition. The shipments on which Spokane's com plaints are based consisted of 3.639,513 pounds of sheet steel and 134,990 pounds of rivets for use on the city waterworks. The city asks to recover from the road J12.818, which it alleges Is in excess of the proper rate, together with J1200 at torney's fees. The railroads have re fused to pay the claim whenever it was presented. Demand Respect for Uniform. WASHINGTON, July 6. Secretary Taft la expected to deal In his annual report with a subject which has been a source of a great deal of Irritation to the mili tary authorities and which ha been brought about by a condition for which there appears to be no legal remedy. This Is discrimination by proprietors of amusement places against enlisted men wearing the uniform. The adminlstra tion'a effort for legislation which will prevent such discrimination will be sec onded by the Navy, as Its men also have suffered from the same cause,
