SEATTLE. "Wash.. Nov. 25. (Spe cial.) Unofficially it is reported that the railroad trainmen and the railroad rranagers have reached a tacit agree ment to the effect that neither will Introduce any new legislation at the coming session of the Legislature. However, Irrespective of this under standing', the railroads unquestionably will abandon the programme they have followed in recent sessions, and will be represented at the capital only when the Legislature wishes to hear from someone In authority. During the past two or three ses . sions there have been one or two pri vate cars on the sidings at Olympia, and the hotels have registered a num ber of prominent traflic and operating officials. The legal department has been conspicuous by its absence but everywhere one turned he could bump into a traffic or operating official. The railroad employes have blockaded the entrances to the Capitol building with their lobbyists. Invr Fixes Crew nmhrr. As a matter of fact, the heavy repre sentation on both sides had practically nothing: to do with the legislative rec ord of the Legislature, for the two killed off each other. About three nssions back the employes managed to pass a bill prescribing the number of employes who should constitute a train crew. Last session the railroads wanted to amend this measure in some manner, but failed to do so. This is the sum total of railroad legislation accomplished in recent years that has been proposed by either faction. The railroad managers do not want to mix with the lobbyists at Olympia, and as the railroad employes supported the Democratic programme and would have to seek favors from a Republican Legislature they are willing to forget everything this year. The only thing the trainmen had suggested was a limit on the number of cars to be pulled in a freight train, and this is not of much Importance. The railroad managers would prefer that all technical questions affecting operation be settled by the public serv ice commission, a sort of board of ar bitration that might be given tem porary authority. Interstate Rule Preferred. The' railroad managers believe that within a short time the Interstate Com merce Commission wilL have jurisdic tion over all questions of traffic and operation. They point out the obvious tact that every regulation of railroad operation in some form affects all in terstate rates. The roads have had a good deal of trouble in some states where the local commissions have cir cumvented the Interstate Commerce Commission rulings. They would pre fer a sort of Governmental partnership, whereby the Government would aid them in providing equipment needed or Federal service, and see to It that all rates were fixed on an equitable basis and that all questions of opera- tion were settled by a single tribunal. Men Aid Programme. ' Consciously or unconsciously the trainmen have helped along this pro gramme by their advocacy of the Adam fon law, which, if all questions of state regulation on traffic or operating mat ters are ignored, nevertheless tends to emphasize the desirability of central control or regulation. The question is a deep one, and the railroad managers would prefer to see it work itself out as it confidently is expected to do within a few years. Kor that reason the steam roads Would be perfectly willing to keep hands off legislative affairs, permit the state commission to grow stronger so that when it becomes all powerful in local Rffairs and is to be succeeded by a Federal board, there will be no trouble .in gathering up the loose ends and also because the railroad managers are ex tremely weary of dabbling in politics. They wish to be permitted to handle their affairs in a business-like and sat isfactory manner, and do not wish to mingle in legislative matters. 32 LEGISLATORS RETURN SEW HOUSE WILL HAVE IS VET EKASS OX ROLL, In Senate 17 of the 30 Members Have Seen Service Republicans Have Big Majority.

Many Farmers' Wives At tend Railway's Tea. BY ADDISON BENNETT. WALLA WALLA, WaslL. Nov. 25. (Special.) The rooms of the Corn Show have been iht great center of attraction In .this city today. By 10 o'clock this morning the rooms were well filled, and soon thereafter "Farmer" Smith began his talk to the members of the Farmers' Union, nearly 100 being present. A more interested audience Air. Smith never had. During the forenoon Traffic Man ager Robinson arrived in his private car, bringing General Passenger Agent McMurray, General Freight Agent Lounsbury, J. A. Reeves, general freight agent of the Oregon Short Line, and it.. L.arkin, traveling traffic agent ot the same road. At noon Mr. Robinson Invited these men, together with "Farmer" Smith, Robert Burns, the traveling passenger and freight agent in this district for the O.-W. R. & N. ; the secretaries of Mr. McMurray and Mr. Lounsbury and the representative of The Oregonian to a lunch at the Hotel Dacres. This was a very enjoyable affair and lasted until 2 P. M. Then the party went to the show rooms, where a large audi ence, composed largely of women, was awaiting "Farmer" Smith, who was billed to speak at that hour. Mr. McMurray Preside. General Passenger Agent McMurray called the meeting to order, and made a brief, pertinent talk. He Introduced Traffic Manager Robinson, who. In his usual fluent manner, made a fine ad dress. He then called upon "Farmer" Smith, who spoke for about an hour, and then stopped because he thought he had talked long enough, but his audience differed with him, and he was compelled to go on for another 15 minutes. As people had kept coming since noon, the rooms by this time were well filled, the women predominating. Many of them were farmers' wives who had come from Quite a distance. Ev ery ear of corn was examined and dis cussed, but the three wonderful single farm exhibits, that of E. E. Starkey and son, of Prosser; that of the Stub blefield Home, of this city, and the dry farm exhibit of W. D. Newlon. of Morrow County, Or., and the booths containing those exhibits, were the great centers of attraction. Afternoon Tea Bis Event. Then eame the afternoon tea. Of course. , there was considerable prep aration for tea for the guests. The caterers from the dining cars had pre pared to serve 300, but more than 400 partook of the dainties, and then not all were served. Of the number fully one-half were women. This was cer tainly a mighty enjoyable affair, and one for which great thanks on all sides were being tendered to the O. W. R. & N. Company. After some more speaking this even- HOT TEA BREAKS A COLD TRY THIS Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call It, "Ham burger Bmst Thee," at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon It. pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It Is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It Is inexpensive and entirely vege table, therefore harmless. Adv. Ing came the great dance, which PresI dent Farrell insisted would close the show. This was one of the great events of the season in this city. The floors were good, the rooms spacious, the music of the best, and. the rooms were crowded. There were 22 numbers on the dancing cards. The only fly In the ointment at this time was the fact that President Far rell was not here to lead the grand march, but with such versatile officials as Messrs. McMurray, Robinson and Lounsbury, assisted by Mr. Reeves, of the Oregon Short Line, the fun was so great that the absence of the president excited mostly regret for him. The dance was under the auspices of Rec tory Chapter, St. Paul's Guild, of this city. COKN SnOW PRIZES AWARDED E. K. Starkey, ot Prosser, Heaviest Winner at Walla Walla. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Nov. 25.
