RAILROADS. Mr. Albert Fink’s Opinion of the Reagan Bill, gome Qood Things in It, but Some Weak Points---Tts Failure to Cover Water Tronsportation, Itis Own Idea of tho Tegislation Necded to Cured the Evils Complained Of. Full Text of the Resolutions Adopted at the Managers' Recent Meeting. THE REAGAN RAILROAD BILL. There {s probably not a man in this country who 18 better qualificd to speak on the mnerits and demerits of the Reagan Ralirond bill re- cently passed by the Houns of Representatives than Commlissfoner Albert Fiok, He s a rall- road manager of great ability, and has made transportation problems a studv for many years, and tho fact that both the Fast emm and Western trunk llues have made Wm virtually the diciator of thelr trans- portation poliey shows the high opinfon the raitrond managers bave of hisability and hounesty, Mr, Fink Is nman of broad and lib- eral views, and his opinfon upon the new law will 1o doube be resd with pleasure by all those futerested tn ratirond amd transportation busi- ness in this country, A TRIBUNB reporter eabled upon Mr. Fink at the Granil Pacifle Hotel yesterduy afternoon to hear what he had to say segarding the Heagan bll. He declared himaelf ready to comply with the scribo's request, but wiehed it to be understood that he was not speaking fu the capacity of the trunk lnes, but was giving his own private opluiou without fear or favor. In reply to the question as Lo what he thought of the bill and the eifect it would have upon the trangportation business ot the country if it be- came a law, be said he considered that the ob- ject of the law was excellent, and there were many provicions contalned fu It that would bring about just the reforns that the raliroad managera at thelr recent meetings had en- deavored to secure—to stop discrimina- tions in° rates, They had tried in this, o3 well as {n all other countries where there were exteusive raflroad svatems, to reform the transportation businuss ang stop unjust dis- criminetion, but s far without success, oxcept probabty in Eugtand, whera there wero but fow wmalgamated eystems of raflronds. It was gen- crally believed that the rallroads, taken es o whole, were responsible for the state of affairs which this bilt was to rectify, No one desired niore than {ntelligent rallrond managors to sce the present injsmanagement of tarhl questions remedied. There would bo no differeuce of opinion on the subject by parties who Lad glven tue mutter futelligent consideration, ¥ “The ouly question was, How could it be prac- tleally accotiplishedd ‘There was & general opin- ton that without {oterference by Congress the yuestion coultl uot be finally solved, but there was a wide dilerence of opinfon as to the par- ticular method by which it as ta be solved, in his opdnion the "Reagan DL Akl not rench the evil. Its teatures were directed agoinst the symptoms of the discase_and not agninst the removal of the cause, 1€ a physictsn wera to endeavor to cure fevecund ague by contining the patient {n o vise 8o that he could not shake, it would hardly cure the disease, and would only cauze additional discomfort to the patlent, And 80 1t was with all lecisiation ou rafiroud questions, The (iranger Jaws were an example ul this. Thoe raliroad companles wers uuuum[lly opposeil to Jegislative interference, not becauso 1t was not desirable that certain abuscs should be remedied, but, probably, becuusu those leeis- lative enactmenta were not sufliciently well con- ridered to reuch the ubuses, ‘The mannerin which legislation was had i this country on.subjects uot thoroughly understood was well known, Laws that wera to control, ns stated by Mr. Reagnn, erties worth 000,000, wer e L1t e (lonan ot TUYELER b vassed thrangh the flouse ofter a discussfon of about three minutes, In Eneland a subject of siuch vost magnitude and fmportance would be submnitted to o committes whigh would juvita before it all parties in inter- cst ou bioth sides os well as experts, and the wmatter would be inada the sublect of athorough examination. The nverslon of rallragd man- ngers to huving questions that are Jttle under- stoud settied in the regular legielative mauncr wos therefora explainwd, The second scction of the second article of thie Jteagan bill, if the neeessary machinery were provided, would meet the approval of all rail- road manaers, but the third section nroblblted the only practival method by which the second section could ba carriedjout.’ Theeavils that wera to bo remedled were the flucturtions In rates, the granting ol rebates, and unjust discriming tion, anaftlhiese very cvils were the result of com- petition, so-called,” or rather tho warfare between railroad combioations. As long as this gort of compotition continued there must necersarlly be upjust disertminations, rebates, and Huctud- tlons In rates, and the public would have to make up therr mind either to put up with all thiese cvils or Lo restriet competition or regulsto it The fwmpracticablily ‘of the Heazan bill cousisted in trylug to keop up com- etition and ot ihe same tlue stop L, and, a8 only one or the other could be done, the Reagau bill might, accordlng to the situa- tlon, have tho effect of atopping competition and at another tima have it rave as 1t did now with all {ts attending oyils, There was no cer- tainty os to what it wounld accomplish at puy time. Bonie of Its provislons could not bu car- ried out In justice to somo rallronds. Thuy would introduce creater unjust discrimination between transportation companies than they could possibly remedy as betweon railroads and shippers. The blll applicd only to railroads, Bteamship s wight practice without Interfereuce which the ruflroads were prohiblied from doing. For exumiple, the raflronds be- iween Clnelonati apd New Orlcans mmust fix tartfTs and publish rutes, and could nwot change them until five duyw’ potice had been given. ‘The steambont NHuas running between Cincinuat! and New Orleans could nots what the railroad yates were, and cut under them sufliclently to ket all busiuess, while tho rallroads bad to'wub- suit and allow their bustuess to be ta el away from than. Another objectlon would be that this bill mads no provision for water and rail rout Many through lins of transportation couats of purt water and part rall, sud would nut come undyr tho operations of the luw, Another ditti- culty arose from the lact that two or three l'umrn vompete with cach other, as, for examvle, the New York Central uud the New York, Luke Yrlo & Western. Ouo of them ran through ouo Blate anly, sud the other passed throush sev- cral Siates, Competition between them would under the Reagan bill ba stopped. The New York Coutral from New York to Buffalo voutd do gs it pleuscd, being within one Btate, while the Erle, mnlu‘!: through seyeral Btates, und thus comlini under the provisions of the law, would be oblicsd to inalutatn the tanfs und give notice of an adyance in vates tive days fu gdvance, while the New York Central could cut under sutliclently to deprive the Erle of all its business, This ahowed the fmposslbility of reulsting the ditlicultivs, su os ta du justice to ull parties, by laws that upplicd only 1o inter- Brate comuierce, Another provision of the blll was most un- Just to ruliroud proprietors,~nsmuly, that ral- 1aads weru not slluwed to charge hlizher rutos tu loca) points thau turough points.

If the agreement there mule by the raflrond compomes could be car- ried out, it would remedy all ovils the lmhllc hind complained of. ‘The difficulty was hat ons or tho other of those lines would sooner or later depart from this agrecment, and another period of confusion would fullow mnong the transportation and commeretal - tereste, Naw, {f Stats or Federal Uovernments wanted to stop these abuses, let them stmply Ieud thelr authority to enforce the agreciments of ralirond companies, and that was il the fn- terference that was required on the part of the Government to solve the transporiation problems. If it feared that the authority would be abused by the railroad compauics, it would be ezsy to anply the check.

ENGLISTI NAILWAYS AND EX- PRESN BUSINESS, To the Edtior of Ths Tribuna. Cnicaco, Dec, 17.—As the Lol Mall Gazette wall says, tha jmportancs ‘to the pubilc of the English rallway movement to absarb the ex- press-package business hitherto conducted over their lines by (ndependent companies can scarcely be overestimated. The wonder Is, ot that they have at Jast resolved to possess them- sclves of thelr own, but that they have so long permitted the express componies to tecee both them and the publie. The existencu of express compnnles, * fast-frefght lives,”” and sleeping- car cumpanies dolug business over rallways in which they have no proprictary fnitcrest, is an abnormity. They do uothing that a well-man- aged rallway company could not do us well, if not. better. They ure parasites, subsisting equally off the stockholders of the parent com- pany and the public. They sefve no purpose 1In rallway cconomy but to share in dividends ac- cruing ta capital embarked fu coterprises which they neltber Inaugurated por pusted forwant 1o execution. They come in by theald, if not the interested connivance, of railway manogers, to reap where they bave not sown, to pather where they have not plavted. These parasite cumpsnics e, 6. far as they can be, monopulles, Waerever it is possible they com- biue to keep up rates. They make speclal con- tracts with ralfway comopanies at the lowest at- <ainable frures, on Lhe ground that they ean - fluence u nrru volume of busioecs, aud ccure, in retuin, the rieht of way, 80 to speak, ns agalnst tho outside public,~a promise of rapid trans(t, Then, havine shut out the publie Irom its equal right to have rapld transit-on demand, they exact higher prices as the penalty ot huving Leen robbed of the connmon right of rapid tran- sit. The result of this syatem—time boine money, and rapld transit of the tirst fportance to the merchant—Is, that o Jurge share of the frejehtage business of unearly every ratlway In this country ia dono by the parasite” companies In other words, they are pormitted to shave a pereentage from every rallway stock dividend made in the United Htates, "More than this, they have liclped to foree into tho hatds uf Recefvers, and nltimately into bankrupt- ey, scores of faflimg railway coroo- rations unable to pay dividends. And all this while it is lternlly imponsible that they should_have been able to incronse, by o sinele puund, the bulk of the irelehtage of the country.
