RAILWAY UNION A HUGE TRUST,
And subject to the Laws H-ainst That
Sort of Thing, Says Walker.

And subject to the Laws HSainst That
Sort of Thing, Says Walker.
Attorney Edwin Walker ut once began
the final summing up for the government.
He first took up the argument of Gregory
that this proceeding WAS without preced-
ent. He assured the court that the Amer
lean Railway Union was nothing of itself
but Il huge trust, organized as such and
conducted as such from the beginning.
This action came under the same category
rs all other proceedings against trusts
Taking up the address OF Erwin, Attorney
Walker asked if ''tbe learned counsel had
forgotten that the same charges had been
made against the railway managers weeks
ago, and an opportunity had been given to
come before the grand jury with those
chargess"
Yet, even now if they could substanti-
ate thier charges the government would
take up the investigation against the
railway managers, and Walker. turning
to Erwin. promised: And l will do all
in my power to have you, Mr. Erwin, ap-
pointed as special agent OF the govern
ment, as special assistant to the district
attorney, to try such case. that you may
for once be engaged on the side of the
prosecution and break away from the
defense, where you have been all your
life" Taking up Darrow's argument he
said he had heard Darrow in the court
many times before, but he had never
before known him to rely upon dissenting
opinions.
The question was: as this bill, filed on
the 2nd of July by the United States,
brought within the jurisdiction of the
Federal courts of equityf' There was no
question before the court &c enjoining
strike or boycott; no question as to the
right of any man, or any body of men. to
go on strike. The United States govern.
ment never had and never would forbid
laboring men to strike. Yet more than
half of the arguments of the attorneys
for the defense had been upon that sub
ject.
But when individuals, or a union, or the
officers of u union interfered with the
passage of interstate commerce, and
especially the transportation of United
States mails, they did that from which
they could be EMBODIED, and if they per.
sisted in such interference after the issue
of an injunction they committed an
ofense for which they could and should
be punished.
Walker then reviewed the evidence in
several specific parts to show that the de-
PENDANTS had violated the letter and the
spirit of the injunction. He also discussed
the question OF law involved, and before
adjournment had completed his argu-
ment. The case now rests with Judge
Woods, who will probably take some time
for careful consideration before arriving
! At decision,

RELOCATED TO THE REAR,
Woman's Position In the Church as Viewed
by Bishop Vincent

oN hA>AoP
GALESA, Ills, Sept. .9-Bishop Vincent
in an incidental way defined his views on
the woman question at the session of the
Rock River Methodist conference. Every
morning he expounds a chapter of paul's
epistle to Timothy and this time he chanced
on the second and third chapters, in which
woman's part in church work is outlined
and limited. The drift of his remarks was
that woman should follow and not lead
in the work of teaching the word. He
criticized the men who would restrict
woman entirely TO the domestic circle, and
said unat both husbands and wives should
do NIL they can TO raise the standard OF
the home sphere. At the same time the
bishop paid high tribute to womanhood
in the training OF children. and declared
motherhood was the highest mission on
earth.
A new plan of examination OF csndi-
dates for admission was adopted. also
resolution to remeinbe the aged brethren
who could not attend the conference by
sending them copies of the proceedings.
4 number OF men were then called to the
front to reply to questions asked of candi-
dates for the ministry that must be
answered in open conference. A new
question was: "Will you wholly abstain
from the use of tobacco?" MIR. Rifkin, u
G. A r man, presented the bishop with
n gavel, the head of which was made of
part of the desk used by General Grant
when he was in the leather store here as
clerk and the handle of part Of the pew
the general used to occupy.
