Investigation. 1t is known that the senator's
motion to reconsider was not acted ON today,
and as he is not deeply interested in the mat

motion will very likely be lost and the con.
fiiDations will stand.

Law and Labor Unions.

It is very noticeable that the decis-
ions Of the courts in England have uni
formly been favorable TO labor unions
while in this country they have been al
most entirely in the opposite direction
and adverse to organized labor. 1t is
said that American judges take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to strike a
blow at the principle Of organization
among the workers, while in England
such organizations are encouraged and
upheld by the decisions of the courts.
This seems the more strange when it is
remembered that America is the bOasted
land of the free where government rests
In the hands of the people and that the
English government is a monarchy
where the people are supposed to have
but little voice in selecting the judges
who preside over their courts.
