concessions from Spain giving 1t ex-
elusive landing rights In the Philip

Detroit. Mich. March cO.-Judgc
Swan Of the United States District
Court. has rendered n decision deny.
Ing the validity OF nm ordinance re-
qulring the street railway companies
to reduce rntes OF fare To 3 cents. The
court says there Is nothing In the char
ter OF the city which authorizes such
an ordinance and allows nn Injunction
to restrain the city from enforcing II.
Said Judge Swan:
ITO enforce this ordinance would be
an act not OF regulation but Of spolla-
ton. The police power includes the
general management ns regards the
protection Of life and property, and
the accommodation of the public; but
the legislature itself could not effect
the fares agreed upon. II might be for
the welfare Of the public that fares
should be abolished altogether, but
TINT would lc confscatIon and could
not bc tolerated."
A contention of the city In defend
ing the Injunction suit was tlint since
the older ordinances provided that
rates Of fare mot exceeding 3 cents"
should ie charged. the city had power
to regulate the rates nt reasonable"
figures. The court holds that the sub
stance or meaning Of all these orsiinnn-
ccs permits 5-crnt fares. which priv
ilcge cannot bc nftcrwnrd nnnullesl.

"a States Supreme Court to-day an
opinion was handed down in the case
Of the Waters-Pierce OIL Company, in
volvtng its right to de business In the
ctate Of Texas, contrary to the provis-
ious OF the state antitrust laws Of 1850
and 1895. The opinion sustained the
decisions Of the state court to the ex-
tent OF Affirming them, and was thus
opposed to the contentious Of the oil
company. but II did this upon the
ground that the state laws imposed .
condition which the oil company had
accepted, and hence was without
ground Of complaint
The basis Of the action was the
Standard OIL trust, organized In 1882,
and 1t was owned that It's intention was
to control and mouopolize the petrol
cum industry Of the United States. In
restriction OF trade. dividing the mar.
kets Of the United States into various
sub-divis!ona, awarding Texas to the
Waters-Pierce company. The decision
OF to-day was based upon the PROPOSE
tons which were submitted to the jury
In the original trial. Justice MckennA
said:
The transactions of local commerce.
which were held by the state courts to
be violations OF the statute, occurred in
contracts with certain merchants. In
which the plaintiff In error required
them to buy oil exclusively from 1t. and
from no other source. or buy exclusive
ly Of the complainant In error. and net
to sell to any person handling compet-
Ing oils. or to buy exclusively from the
plaintiff In error and TO sell At . price
nxed BY 1t.
The statutes" he continued, must
be considered In reference to these con-
tracts. In any other aspect they are not
subject to our review on this record,
except the power of the state court to

Chicago, March 18.-Aftee The Con
ference between Representatives Of the
International Ass0ciAtionof Nachinists
and the Administrative Council Of the
National Metal Trades Association
ended at 1890 this morning, President
James O'Connell Of the unIoo declared
that strikes would be called immodi.
ately In all parts Of the United States
and Canada. Such strikes would in.
volve 10000 men and cause to be shut
down for an indefinite time plants
having an aggregate capacity Of mill
ions Of dOllars. Chicago labor troubles
are responsible for the disagreement
which IL expected to precipitate. the
general machinists' strike.
Were 1t not for the fact that leaders
Of the machinists' union refused to call
on the strikes that now exist in Chi
caRo, Columbus, Ohio, and Paterson,
New Jersey. the manufacturers and
the leaders, 1t In believed, would have
come to an amicable agreement and
arbitration would have been perma-
nentiy established between the Nation
al Metal Trades Association and the
International Association Of Machin-
lists.
The members Of the Executive Board
OF the machinists' union. however, re-
fused to call Oh the Chicago strike. ~
they declared that II they did the Chi
cago local union would secede from
the International Association Of Ne
chinists. When the refusal Of the ma
chinists to end the strike was present
ed to the manufacturers they issued
an ultmatum to the labor leaders, and
on their refusal to agree to Its provis-
ions, all negotiations were broken on.
Before leaving the rooms in which
the Joint conference was held. Presi-
dent O'Connell Of the International
Union declared that the union would
begin Immediately to call strikes In all
parts Of the country.
The frst Of these strikes viii Be
called In Cleveland. Ohio. After all the
large cities have been tied up. strikes
will be called In the machine shops Of
all the railroads in the country.
