IT'S A QUESTION OF AGGREGATE.
What the Tax on Corporations Shall
Amount to in Michigan.

Lansing, Mich. May 1O.-There are in
dicahons of serious clash between the
house and senate over the Merriam bill
incre asing the tax on railroads. The
raise made by the senate last week is
ar average OF q triiie less than 1 per
cent. This does not satisfy large num-
ber OF influential members of the lower
mouse. who demand that the increase
be doubled so as to yield the state $780,
eco per year more than it is now receiv-
ing from this source, and the house will
probably make the raise.

nounced his intention to call an extra
session before the legislators have time
to get away after adjournirg the pres

BIBLE READING is UNLAWFUL.
Decision That Eanishes the Christian
Religion from the school,

Detroit. May lO.-There will be no
more Bible readings in the public
schools OF Detroit unless the supreme
court shall reverse a decision made
Saturday by Judge Carpenter in the
Wayne county circuit court. The suit
was brought by Conrad Pfeifer to COM
pei the board of education to abandon
the readings" The readings" were
complied in Chicago and are said to be
non-soctarian, in the sense that no par
ticular form of religion is favored It's
advocates claim it is merely a textbook
on morality.
Acting Mayor George Beck vetoed a
resolution of the board to purchase A.
600 of the readings" but the veto was
not sustained and the books are now
In use. Counsel for the board contended
that 1t was the duty of every school
board to teach the Christian religion.
Judge Carpenter held that If that con-
tention were sound. not only should the
Bible be taught, but all other forms of
religious instruction should be given in
the schools

AGREEMENT OF ALL AUTHORITIES
Reply to the Argument in Favor of Per-
suasiOn by the Union Men,

suasiOn by the Union Men.
The three excepted afiidavits the court
held to be too contradictory to entitle
them to consideration. These affida-
Wits" said the court, ARE tetamount to
an admission of the averments CT the
bill. 1t conclusively appears from all
authorities that the English courts. the
American state courts. and the federal
courts are in perfect harmony, and tina.
while they recognize the right Of en-
ployes of whatever rank or degree to
combine for the purpose Of resisting any
measure of oppression or coercion of
their employers, and even for the pur-
pose of instituting strikes and adopting
other measures for their own protec-
tion or for the lettering Of their condi-
ticn, they are agreed that they must not
interfere with the rights of employers to
manage their own business in their own
way. so long as they do not trespass up
on the rights of others.
Counsel for defendants in this case
insisted that his clients had the right
as individuals to solicit and persuade
employees of the complainant to give up
their situations, but the conclusion de-
duced by counsel. although ingenious is
altogether unsound. That the defend
arts might. as counsel put it, peaceably
and quietly persuade complainants' en-
ployes to qui. work is not and cannot
be successfully denied. But persuasion
with the hootings of mob and Deeds
of violence as auXiliaries Is not peace
able persuasion" The court enphatical-
ly overruled the claim OF General Myer
counsel for the strikers. that the de-
PENDANTS were exercising their constitu-
tionaI rights when the compla!nants
| asked for a restraining order.
Continuing, the opinion says: "Coun-
| sci for defendants closed his arguments
| with q somewhat impassioned appeal to
| the court. coupled with the expression Of
/ his Nope and confidence that the decision

Washington, May 10.-The Republican
members of the senate committee on
finance have furnished the Democratic
members Of the committee with esti-
mates Of the revenue to be derived from
the tariT bill as prepared by them, and
as compared with the house bill and the
Mckinley and Wilson laws. together
with statements showing a comparison
of rates of duty reduced to ad yalorem
figures. The estimates of revenue and
importations are given on each item
separately, but no computation a. to the

entire bill or for the Individual sched-

mates given on the importations of su-
gar indicates a probable total of abolI,

probable total of about S50, 900. 900 as pro-

are taken from the free list. In the

ENJOINS STRIKERS

IMPORTANT DECISION FOR UNIONS

Given by Judge Sage in the Matter OF the
Rod Sill Strikers and Assaults on the
Men Who Took Their PIaccs-Reply to a
Suggestion of Anarchy Made by Counsel
for the Strikers-salient Points of the
Judges Decision.
Cleveland. May f0.-A Knockout blow
to the strikers OF the Consolidated Steel
company was delivered by Judge SAGE,
Of the United States court, Saturday.
He allowed the temporary Injunction
against them to stand at the conclusion
of ar exhaustive opinion. Judge Sage
maintained that the proof was corclu-
sive that violence had been done the
rer in the employ of the company. He
he'd that If the strikers We're not actual
ly engaged in violent acts they were at
least the ruling spirits Of them. Fur
theiaore he held that the Rod Mill
Workers unicn was the fountain head
OF the trouble. and that it was clear
that the strikers had interfered with the
lawful right of the company. The judge
called attention to the fact that since the
temporary injunction was granted the
company had not been molested. Dur

Sort of "Pe-suasion" That Was Used
The complainant is corpora ton or
ganizcd under the law of the state Of
Illinois. with its principal place Of busi-
ness in the city Of Chicago. 1t is engaged
in the state Of Illinois. and the city of
Cleveland. ard elsewhere, in the manu-
facture Of steel wire and wire nails. The
defendants include p. j. Murdie, lodge
No. l, and Banner ledge No. 2. OF the
Itod Mills Workers OF America. The
court first held that the strikers at the
Consolidated Steel works had used Vio-
ience to the men who were brought in
after the strike was declared ard that
the Rod Mill Workers union was large
iy responsible for the violence The men
,r the employ of the company were way
laid On their way to and from their
homes and if they were not actually as
saulted they were unlawfully interfered
with in that they We're urged and COM
n'anded to do what they did not wish to
do. and threatened if they did not obey
the bidding Cf their assailants
Did Not Dispute the Violence.
1t was clear. the court maintained,
that the defendants had materially in
terfered with the lawful rights of the
company and the men in their employ.
The judge. with significant emphasis,
called attention to the fact that the
company had been operating its plant
without the slightest molestation since
the court allowed temporary restrain
ing order. Judge Sage went over the
affidavits filed by the plaintiffs. These
affidavits. he Held, sustained the charges
that threats, intimidation and molesta-
ton had been resorted to. The affidavits
against the company's charges, the judge
said, with the exception of three, do not
dispute that there had been violence
They simply dispute that the defendants
themselves as named were guilty of any
lawless conduct.
