PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-[Special. +
The following will appear in the edi
itorial columns of this weeks journal
of United Labor, headed: "The Read
ing strike-still no change" The strug,
gle seems to have resolved itself into {
question of endurance between dollars
and stomachs. Dollars may win but il
will be all the worse for the dollars il
the future. The tension cannot bt
carried too far in the great struggle
of the closing years of the 10Th century
Once too often dollars will strive tt
starve stomachs. Then will come tht
insanity of hunger. When hunge
crazes the brain the brute takes tn,
place of the man. History ,furnishe
thousands of proofs. For what follows
the brute thus created, is not to b.
blamed, but the cause that created tn
brute.

CHICAGO, Jan. .26.-[Special IA yer
important decision was rendered b.
Judge Gresham in the Central low
Railroad foreclosure case. A year o
two ago a firm of extensive grain ship
pers made a contract in Iowa with tn
Central Iowa Railroad for certain re
bates on shipments. When the fore
closure proceeding was begun the!
had a claim of some $1,000 for such re
bates and filed an intervening petition
to have the railroads receiver directed
to pay it out of the proceeds of the salt
and as against mortgages. The Judge
refused to allow it on the ground tha
the statutes of Illinois prohibited dis
elimination by railroads in this or any
other way. Though the contract was
made in Iowa it was to be enforced il
Illinois, and was illegal under law, NJ
matter where made. Although the
case was expressly based on Illinois
law, yet it seems that the principle oi
illegality of rebates can be sustained
