Scott, as sistant general passenger sgents. re spectively of the Hill and Harriman railroads tn Portland, returned last night from Olympla. where they attend ed a hearing of the Washington rail way commission In the matter of pro posed rules and regulations governing passenger train service on O. R. ft N. and Northern Pacific lines In Washing ton. Th principal objection of rail road men was to the rule of keeping all depots open for arrival of belated trains. The commission will probably not yield thla point. Th case was taken under advisement. In addition to the passenger agents named the railroads were represented by Attorney B. S. Grosscup and Super intendent C. K. Albee for the Northern Pacific; Attorney L. C. Oilman, assist ant Traffic Manager H. M. Adams and Assistant Superintendent F. 8. Forrest ror the (ireat Northern; and Attorney R K. Moody for tha O. R. & N. company. Most of the commission's proposed rules and regulations were accepted without protest by the railroads, but on a rew propositions they made a united ano aetermined opposition. Object to Constructive XllMLg. The "constructive mileage" proposal or tne commission waa one of the rules objected to. The railroad cash far be tween Olympla and Seattle, for ex ample. Is 11.80. which Is three cents mile for 60 mllea. while the actual mile age Is 73 miles. The company pulls 73 miiea irom mueage docks ror this trip, and the commission rule would put la "constructive mileage" to meet the cash rare ticket, or 60 miles. l ne railroad representatives were most tenacious, however. In their on- position to the proposed rule of the commission which would make first class tickets good for 30 davs after pur chase. It was claimed by them that to put such a rule Into effect would be to put a premium on ticket scalping, and that this would be especially true of tickets which allowed a stop-over priv ilege. The railroad representatives, after a short consultation, urged th commission to reduce tha time for us ing tickets to the day following their purchase. Agrees on Bdmptlon. The proposed rule about the redemp tion of tickets, fixed by the commission at six months, was agreed to by the railroads, as was also the proposed rule requiring ail late trains to be bulletined on station Duuetln hoards. There was a serious hitch over the rule proposing to require the railroads to keep all stations open until late trains arrive. It was claimed that this would practically compel day and night sta tion agents and operators at every rail road station In the state. The commis sioners Intimated that this might not be a bad thing for the traveling public. The rules were fully discussed by the commissioners and the railroad repre sentatives, and were taken under ad visement at the conclusion of th near Ing.
