At any rate, the Foley Committee will not agree to the proposition ad- vanced by counsel for the corporation. | The committee, its counsel and Prof. E. W. Bemis, who drew up the telephone rate schedule recommended by the committee, heid an all-day cun- ference yesterday at the Park Avenue Hotel, after which they gave out @ etatement attacking the telephone company’s proposed rate schedule. The cowpany in proftering this schedule admitted ite readiness to yield to the decree of the commission | that $8,000,000 must be cut from the total of its annual revenues in this city and maintained that the schedule offered did slash $2,700,000 from thoxo | revenues. | This claim is emphatically con- tradicted in the report issued ust night by the foley committee, ite eapert charges that the company's schedule does not insure a reductiun of SS 1000s, in tha phone rates of New Yors He asserts that the total of = reduction guaranteed by the pany’s proposal is unly $2,386, 000—-0F | | tabem ces a4 $614,000 short of the cut of $3,000,000 which bas been de- creed both by the Foley legislative committee and the Public Service Commission. The Foley committee also finds that ley, Chairman rig! Robert L. id just what the ice put ato effect the rate sched pre- Prof. Bemis and ‘approved the ‘oley committee. | “This schedule offered tn the sem- blance of surren der ts shown by our expert to be more than $600,000 short ce oe eesniees ire. Now the mor will deman its fo'demana through legislative action if necessary—that its rate sched eball accepted and put into effect, Not the slightest change in vision will be consented to The present Full Crew—“ excess man crew "—Law is all it should not be. This the railroads know—this its effect demon- strates. Actively supported by Chambers of Commerce, the rail- roads have caused to be introduced at Trenton a bill to repeal this law. It gives to the Public Utility Commissioners new and greater powers to make certain that trains are manned for safety and efficiency of operation, In a nutshell, the railroads ask the people to repeal a measure which has been proved to be ineffective and burdensome. In return, they offer to put in the hands of the people far greater power for protection of the public and railroad employes than the ‘Full Crew Law gives.‘ This bill will put the public in the strong- est possible position to enforce, if necessary, the questions of safety and efficiency upon any railroad that happens to be derelict. “In addition to the powers now given to, and the duties required of, the Board of Public Utility Commis- sioners granted and required by the act to which this is a supplement, said Commissioners shall have power to re- quire any railroad company, its officers or agents, receiver, or any person or persons doing business in this State, and operating any railroad, either for the hauling of passengers or freight, to determine the number of trainmen, or other men, to be hired to operate such passenger and freight trains, provided such passenger trains are composed of more than threecars,and such freight train is composed of more than six cars; and such Commissioners may make orders and rules for the operating of such trains as they shall deem needful.” This proposed amendment does away with any doubt that may exist in the public mind as to the purpose of the railroads to faithfully perform their every obligation to the State and the people. New Jersey has a Board of Public Utility Commissioners, charged with the safety of the traveling public and the supervision of railroads. The recone sak the people—with no motive other than assuring the utmost ty, service and economy of operation— to give now additional power to these Commissioners and to leave to their discretion the proper manning of trains. Make them freer to pass upon all questions which it is their duty to decide. Their rulings will be equitable and fair to all concerned— the people, the trainmen, the railroads, This can be done only by repeal of the unjust Full Crew Law, and the repeal of this law rests entirely with the people. They sent their representatives to Trenton. They are entitled to sound legislation. The colironee, therefore, request the people to instruct their elected representatives to repeal this law, thereby making it possible for the Public Utility Commissioners to perform the functions they are.paid to perform. The fairness of this request is obvious, SAMUERL REA, « DANIEL WILLARD, President, Penseyivania Railroad. President, Baltimore and Obie Railroad. pwmopons. YooRuEES, % R. L.
