NO AGREEMENT
Reached BY Miners and
Operators
SESSION ADJOURNED
After Workins at Cross-Pur-
poses For a Week. chine
Scale Was Sticking
Point.

The scale convention held by the
miners and operators of the Tuscara-
was district in Canton for the past
week was suddenly terminated Mon
day afternoon after a session which
lasted until after o'clock. During the
past few days of the convention the
miner delegates became restless and
talked of throwing up the pending ne
for the operators to agree to before
the scale for 1901 expires on April 1.
The matters that occupied the at
tention of the convention on Monday
were the rules which govern the pick
miners. The pick mining prices had
been agreed upon and it only remained
TO settle upon the rules. This was
finally disposed of after hard strug-
gle the miners refusing to retreat.
President Haskins and Vice Presi-
dent Sullivan, of the state miners as
sociation, were in the conference and
were endeavoring to reach the adop-
tion of the pick scale before leaving
the city, which they did Monday
night.
This was finally brought about and
the miners then submitted their ma
chine mining scale and declared that
such as 1t was submitted they would
stand out for 1t was then decided by
the operators that they would take
the machine scale up for consideration
among themselves and would meet the
miners in few weeks at Mineral Point
to decide upon the final adoption and
signing of the scale for the ensuing
year.

NOTHING VALID
About Antitrust Laws
of Thirteen States.

Washington, March 1.-THE United
States supreme court has decided Tie
Illinois antitrust statute to be uncon-
stitutional because of the provision of
the law exempting agricultural pro-
ducts and live stock from the opera
tions of the law. The decision was
rendered in the case of Thomas Con-
nelly and others against the Union
Sewer Pipe company, of Ohio, and was
delivered by Justice Harland.
The case grew out OF the sale of pipe
by the pipe company to Connolly and
others, who, after securing it, declined
to make payment on the ground that
the pipe company is an illegal COM
bination for the restraint of trade un-
der the common law because 1t COM
bines number Of pipe manufacturing
concerns; that 1t is combination in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, and, further, violation of the
antitrust law of the state of Illinois.
EXPOSE OF CASE.
The first two contentious received
very slight consideration, the court
holding that even if the allegations
were true they could not justly prevent
the corporation selling it's property.
The opinion therefore was based upon
the third plea, which Justice Harlan
said would be valid II the stat, law
could be held to be valid. as there
could be no doubt of the purport of
the act. Under that law the corpora
tion could be dissolved, If the law is
valid. He quoted the law at length.
laying especial stress upon the ninth
section exempting farm products, con-
cluding that this provision is al,ag-
onistic to the provisions of the consti-
tuition granting equal protection to all
under the law. He also held that the
exempting clause Is so interviewer
with other portions of the statute as
to render 1t impossible to eliminate
It from the law as an entirety and
therefore held that the entire law must
be held to be invalid.
STATES AFFECTED.
The decision of the court in effect
declared unconstitutional the anti
trust laws of Georgia, Illinois, Indiana
Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi. Mon
tana, Nebraska. North Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wis
consin. In each of these states there
is an exemption in favor Of live stock
and agricultural products in the hands
of the raiser or producer, or of labor
organizations. Under the rulings OF
the court, an antitrust law. to be con-
stitutional must apply indfscriminate-
ly to all combinations. with no ex.
emptions or exceptions whatever
