Demand on the Pennsylvanians for fair freight rates
New York January 25. Bird Coler president of Brooklyn publishes a demand that the Pennsylvania Railroad must agree to no differential freight rates against New York City as a condition for a franchise to run with the Long Island and New York, New Haven and Stratford railroads. He criticized Comptroller Metz and Rapid Transit Commission President Orr for saying such a stipulation would violate the Constitution. Coler likened the railroad to an angel of beneficence and attacked state and city governance changes that shifted franchise power away from aldermen to the board of estimate.

NO CHARGES AGAINST HIM IN OLD POSTAL DISPUTE
Postmaster General Cortelyou said no charges were preferred against Philadelphia Postmaster McMichael as rumors of actions during the uniform dispute fade. The carriers had chosen their own uniform supplier but the department ruled material and trimmings must meet standards. With no reappointment planned, the rumor of charges is seen as an old, adjusted complaint. President Roosevelt also pledged to attend Bartholdt's lecture on arbitration and peace if time allows.
