RAILROAD-RATE LAW. The "railroad-rate law" amends the interstate-commerce law of 1887 and enlarges the powers of the interstate-commerce commission. The act is made to apply to any corporation, person or persons engaged in the transportation of oil or other commodity, except water and gas, by pipe lines, railroads or ships, who shall be considered to be common carriers, and to any common

as

carrier or carriers engaged in interstate commerce, whether transporting passengers or freight. The term "common carrier, used in the act, includes express companies and sleeping-car companies. It is the duty of every carrier subject to the provisions of the act to furnish transportation upon reasonable request therefor, and to establish through routes and just and reasonable rates applicable thereto.

All charges made for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transportation of passengers or property, or in connection therewith, shall be just and reasonable; and every unjust and unreasonable charge for any such service or any part thereof is prohibited and declared to be unlawful.

RESTRICTION AS TO PASSES.

No common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall, after Jan. 1, 1907, directly or indirectly, issue or give any interstate free ticket, free pass, or free transportation for passengers, except to its employes and their families, its officers, agents, surgeons, physicians' and attorneys; to ministers of religion, traveling secretaries of Young Men's Christian associations, and persons engaged exclusively in charitable and eleemosynary work; to indigent, destitute and homeless persons; to inmates of soldiers' and sailors' homes; to necessary caretakers of live stock, poultry and fruit; to employes on sleeping cars and express cars, and to linemen of telegraph and telephone companies; to newsboys on trains, baggage agents, railway mail service employes, postoffice, customs and immigration inspectors; to witnesses in which the common carrier is interested, persons injured in wrecks and physicians and nurses attending such persons. Passengers may be carried free with the object of providing relief in cases of general epidemic or other calamitous visitation. Any common carrier who violates this provision, or any person accepting a free pass, unless in the excepted classes, is liable to a fine of not less than $100 or more than $2,000.

Any common carrier upon the application of any lateral, branch line of railroad, or of any shipper tendering interstate traffic for transportation, shall construct and operate upon reasonable terms a switch connection with such lateral, branch line of railroad, where such connection is reasonably practicable and can be put in with safety and will furnish sufficient business to justify it: and shall furnish cars for the movement of such traffic to the best of its ability without discrimination in favor of or against such shipper.
