SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Ruling Against discrimination in
Telegraph Tolls,

The case OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company against the Cali Publishing
Company Of Lincoln, Neb., was decided
yesterday in favor OF the newspaper by
the United States Supreme Court, Justice
Brewer handing down the opinion. The
suit was based upon the allegation that
the telegraph company had Disseminated
against ii in the matter of tolls in favor of
the Lincoln Journal. Yesterdays opinion
affirmed the opigioH of the Nebraska SUI
preme court The telegraph company con-
tended that its services to the Call COM
pany were a matter Of interstate COM
merce, subject to regulation only by Con-
gress, and not by law. and that as Con-
gress had taken no action the telegraph
company could not be restrained. In hand
ing down the opinion of the court Justice
Brewer asked: Can 1t be that the great
multitude of interstate commercial trans
actions are freed from the burdens created
by the common law as so defined, and are
subject to no rule except that to be found
in the statutes of COngress?" Responding
to his own query, he said: 1--WE are clear
ly Of opinion that this cannot be so, and
that the principles of the common law are
operative upon all interstate commercial
transactions except so far as they are mod
ihed by congressional enactment"
An application was made In the court
yesterday III DcIdlL OL IIS american sugar
Refining Company for leave to file a petit
ton for writ of mandamus or writ
of certiorari as to the construction Of the
law concerning the classification Of sugars
imported by that company. The question
involved Is the validity of regulations OF
the Treasury Department regarding the
testing of imported sugar by the polari-
scope. The regulations to which the sugar
company take exceptions in effect require
the official making the polariscope test to
make an arbitrary addition to the reading
actually indicated by the instrument. 1t Is
claimed that the result upon the importa-
tions of the company has been to increase
very greatly the amount Of duties annually
paid by it.
The court affirmed the decision of the court
of private land claims in the case involv-
ing the validity Of La Estancia land grant
of New Mexico. The decision below was
In favor of the United States and against
the claimants, Joel Parker Whitney and
others, and yesterdays opinion upheld that
Judgment on the ground that the validity
of the grant had not been shown. The
grant contained Ala, 900 acres.
The court decided the case Of G. H.
Scott against Harry L. Deweese, coming
to the court from the circuit court of ap-
peals for the eighth circuit. In this case
Scott was a stockholder in the First Ma
tional Bank OF Sedalfa Mo-, and when the
bank failed he sought to eyade liability on
the ground that there had been irregu-
larity in the banks increase of it's capital
stock. The court below decided against
Scott. and yesterdays opinion affirmed
that judgment.

MT. Knox-There IS this suggestion: The great work of the convention will bel'dofs in Committee. and after a committee has devoted days and days tU the consideration of A question and has reached conclusion that it Is uh- wise, it seems to our CJmmittes better that 10 take that matter from the ConnGittes and bring it before the body, tomehing more than mere ma- Jerity should be required and, there fore, We accept the suggestion from the gentleman from Montgomery. We have been in session since Tuesday and we have done very little and that Is the reason this committee on rules Is anxious that these rules shall he adopted today in order that the convention may get down tO the jHNo iaAt york before it.

MIR. PILLANS FAVoRS
 PoSTPoNEMENT OF REPORT.
 MT. PiIlans-I feel the greatest conf dence in the sagacity, patriotism and prudence of the gentlemen who con t. tuted the Committee on Rules, who have spent more time than l and few other gentlemen have spent on th:s question, but the suggestion which IS made shows the force of the motion of the gentleman from Montgomery to substitute and the reason for it. It is suggested by the gentleman from Lee that we will lose time by postponing. I think that I can show that We win not. It is suggested by him that to save time we should pass the rules as they have been presented, after such amendments are made as this body shall deem to be requisite, if any are made which meet the appreciation of the body, and therefore all such sug- gestions should be made now, debated now and the rules. as then amended, adopted. Well l confess that I was unable throughout the reading of these rules, thoroughly to understand and appreciate all of them, and the ques- tions that have been asked indicate that other gentlemen more sagacious than i, have met with the same diffi- culty. It is very possible that if the rules be printed and they go over until tomorrow, 1t will be found that there are no objections to them, but the adoption of the rules of this body means the adoption of 8 system of government which cannot be changed after We are started. unless so onerous in some particular that majority of the members want it changed and sus- tain a motion to that effect. Is not it better therefore to know what we aEe doing before We dc 1t? Is not 1t better that the code of rules be kRewH to

Now. l have been on Committees on Rules myself. and I do not mind confessing that some times members of the Committee on Rules whSn there is proposition that they Gu not like. or they do not think it is advisable to have aired. tu use slang expression. they set down on 1t.

 motion to discharge the committee,
 and then have that motion passed on by that committee. There are other matters, Mir. President; motions relat- ing to the privileges of members or the privileges of the House, and the like. and I hope that the committee will modify that rule in those particulars.

WORK DONE BY PRINTERS.
Typographical Union Has Prepared
a Series of Tables.

The current issue of the Typographical
Journal, official organ of the Intcrnation-
al Typographical Union, has in the form
of supplement series of tables show
ing the wages received and hours worked
by the members of its subordinate unions
in the United States and Canada. The
data is compiled from the reports of To-
cal Offices. Ont of n total Of 4l6 unions
in 3S5 cities only twenty-four failed to
make returns.
The table of morning newspaper scales
contains 1903 reports evening newspapers.
365; weekly newspapers, 3l5; book and
job branch 379
In the newspaper Offices, according to
the tables. the hours of labor range from
thirty-six to tifty-four per week. the
average being about forty-eight for ma
chine operators and all composing room
employees. The nine hour work day is in
vogue in practically all book and job
rooms.
The prevailing scales of wages in the
various sections of the country vary in
proportion to the local environments,
but in all eases machine operators receive
higher wages and work fewer hours per
day than do hand compositors. Wages
have been increased right along with
the Introduction of machines, whether in
newspaper or book offices. and the ad
vanccs in wages cited in these reports
vary, from 5 to 80 per cent. Wages of
hand compOsitors have not been increased
in proportion to those Of linotype oper-
ators. A downward tendency in the
hours Of labor is reported all along the
line and covering all members of the
union.
Data is also given as to the number Of
machines in use and whether operated by
union or non-union men. That portion
of the report shows 4,975 linotype ma.
chimes in use. of which number 4,09S are
operated by union men and S77 by non
union men or women. The report con-
cludcs with the statement that, although
more men are employed to operate ana
tend the machines in use this is account
ed for by the fact that some Offices use
their machines both night and day and
have two if not three shifts Of m N. Good
machine operators are in demand.

before the body. A. Kunzelman Of this
committee, said that the principal point
now was to keep 10000 non-union men
who had gone on strike with the union
men, from rushing back to work.
There are 10000 machinists on strike
for the shorter work day throughout the
United States" he continued. 'Of these,
1000 belong to the union and we have
TO keep the other 10000 in line. We
accept the challenge of the National
Trades Association and will fight until
we win or until the end. Should we win,
as ! hope and believe. it means nine
hour work day for 65O,0OO people through
out the United States, as it will bring
the shorter work day to all our afflicted
trades
lie said that the fight would be n
long and bitter one and asked the central
body to lend its aid financially and other
wise. II would require $150,O00 week,
he said, to pay strike benefits for the
non-union men.
The meeting voted to give 800 directly
to the machinists and passed a resolution
directing the secretary TO write to all
the affiliated unions asking for financial
assistance for the strikers.
