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,
