may not be deceived az to the extent OF
their powers In enforcing contracts for
personal services. by legal process, we
recommend the enactment Of statute
which will prevent them from doing so.
a Few Words About RscsiysrshIps.
We also feel constrained to call at
tention to the abuses which have grown
mp under the powers assumed by the
judges of the courts of the Unifed States
to appoint receivers for railroad corpor-
atoms. These orders being rendered In
court, other proceedings, instituted
nominally Tor the purpose Of effecting
foreclosures. but really FOR the purpose
Of ayertink pursuit of creditors and the
enforcement Of lawful obligations. are
considered IS interlocntory and not sub
ject to appeal. Il, however, an appeal
il granted, IL does not have the effect OF
suspending the execution of the decree
and the road passes into the hands of
receiver who operates IL at least pend
ing the appeal. and this action Of the
judge is entirely independent Of any
control whatever by the owner and
creditors of the property. The powers
exercised by the courts through the re-
ceivers are purely of ther own creation,
the result of judicial construction not
ascertained or limited by statute and
therefore dangerous. Your committee
is of the opinion that the cases for which
receivership may be ordered in the
courts Of the United States should be
declared by statute.
An Anomally Presented.
The anomaly has been presented for
years of great railway corporations be-
ing operated, and the business of COM
mon carriers being carried on by the
United States through the judicial lines
of the government and OF the judges
possessing at once the powers pertain
ing to other Judicial officers and COM
bining with those the powers Of the
president and directors of the corpora
ton. united in one and the same per-
sons. The COMMITTEES also says it 10 Of
the opinion that the powers asserted by
the judges of the United States court to
punish for contempt Ii dangerous and
should be limited by law.

Coxey and his lieutenanfs, Carl Browne

star attractions in tie district police
court where they were arraigned for
violation OF the ca pitol grounds act on
Hay 2. Attorneys Hyman and Lips
colnbe aprearsd for the defendants in
the preliminary proceedings and raised
the issue of consiitutionality Of the law
under which their clients were arrested.
The point was argned vt considerable
length by Senator Allen OF Nehraska.
Congress, he said, had no power 20 ton
fer upoGl the vice president and speaker
Of the house the right to suspend
the enforcement oil the act any
more than IL had the right 70
confer the power upon the czar
Of all the Russias. He denounced the
courts tor assuming legislative func-
tions. This ease, the senator declared,
would assume national importance.
He quoted Magma Chsrta and American
revolutionary history, and declared that
the arrest OF the defendants implied .
denial of the. rights of .peaceable assem-
blage and pet ton. These rights were
Implied in the constitution as regarded
every spot inl the District of Columbia,
just as much 40 in California, Texas or
Florida.
Judge Miller, after arguments closed,
overruled the objections of counsel for
the defense to the information, the
judge holding that the Capitol grounds
act was constitutional. He also denied
Coxey speciil trial.
A jury was secured after two hours.
