For an hour shorts bid 5S or close to

at prices ranging between 81 and So
cents. He said it was only drop in the
bucket compared with the quantity still
held by him, but it netted him profit
of about 100000, or approximately Ii
cents per bushel. This action created in
tense excitement. 1t was thought for
a moment that the chief was about to

1t is not generally known that the
federal statutes contain n law favoring
labor unions in certain branches of in
dustry Such law is in the books,
however and it is one of the most re-
cent additions to the federal code.
Railroad employees are most inter
ested In this law, which applies to
steam railroads, bridges and ferry
companies. 1t makes the discharge of
any railroad for membership in labor
union misdemeanor.
Many lawyers are not aware of the
existence of the statute. William L.
Morsey, assistant United States dis
trict attorney, said, in looking up the
section for The Post-Dispatch, that
while it had not been purposely con-
cealed, the law was as yet unfamiliar
to the majority of lawyers. 1t was
passed in 1892.
The union labor law is contained in
section 10 of chapter 370, Revised Stat
utes.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

COLD BRICK"
FOR MINERS
Company Store Law Said
to Contain a Flaw.
Hearing Postponed in Order
to Hide the Legislatures
Treachery to the Mine
Workers.

The Dauphin county court decided
yesterday to postpone the argument in
tho store order tax cases, which had
been fixed for today, and which was
intended to test the constitutionality of
the law taxing store orders 25 per cent
of their face value. Counsel for the
merchants of the coal region and the
miners abor organizations, were pre-
sent. These are ]. p O'Brien, Of Scran-
ton; John M. Carr, of Freeland, and
William Wilhelm, of Pottssille.
Commenting on the above, the Harris
burg correspondent of the North Ameri-
can says today:
The miners, 1t is believed, have very
little reason to depend on this law, the
purpose of which is to tax the robber
company stores out of existence. 1t
was reluctantly enacted by the Gangs
legislature when the miners threatened
to send an invading army TO the capital
If their measures did not receive con-
sideration.
"a Joker inserted In the bill by the
Gang before it was passed is said to be
counted upon by the coal corporations,
which conduct the company stores, as
having rendered it unconstitutional.
The machine does not want the cheat
fully revealed, however, until after the
mine workers have cast their ballots.
Congressman Olmstead, Quayite, OF
Harrisburg, who appeared before the
senate mines and mining committee in
opposition to the measure, has instituted
the proceedings in the Dauphin court
to test its constitutionality.
"As a matter Of fact, the Gang is not
anxious for decision before election
day, as it probably would have bear
ing on the vote in the mine regions"

To Change Scale Day.

The Denver Building Trades Council
is discussing plans for the prevention
of wage troubles such as have occurred
in Denver each May day for several
years. If the contractors agree in ad-
vance, the council will urge each of
the unions affiliated with it to adopt a
scale of wages on Jan. 1 of each year,
to be effective on the succeeding May /.
Advocates of the idea assert that this
would give contractors five months no.
tice and ample time In which to make
estimates for the entire year, with pos
tive knowledge of what the wages in
voSEed would aggregate. Heretofore
the uncertainty of what wages would
be demanded has hampered those with
work In sight during the first few
months of each year, when great
many contracts for the summer are
usually placed in contractors hands
for consideration. The contractors who
have been seen on the subject by mem
bers of the council have signified their
appreciation of such system.
