KNOCKS OUT ANTITRUST LAW
Judge Haaecy of Illinois State Circuit Court
Holds It Unconstitutional,
SAYS IT is VOID IN EVERY PARTICULAR
Finds that the Law OF 1897 Amended
h Law Of 1879 ana that United
states Held the Former
void.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-In a decision given
today Judge Hanecy, Of the state circuit
court, held that the Illinois antitrust law
Of 1891 is unconstitutional and void in all
its parts. He ordered a finding In favor
OF the defendant in the case Of the people
on relation OF the attorney general against
the Butler Street Foundry and Iron Co.
BY Judge Hanecy's decision practically all
that WAS left Of the anti-trust statutes of
Illinois are declared to be a nullity.
In nfty-three other cases similar to the
one passed upon by the court, a like ind
ing was entered pursuant to a stipulation
Among the attorneys in the case. The
prosecution based its case principally upon
the proyisions In section 1, Of the code of
1s97, wherein II provides for the filing OF
amdavits by corporations annually with
the secretary OF state showing that they
are not a party to any pool, combination
or trust.
In passing opinion upon the merits OF
the case, Judge, Hanecy held that the law
of 1897 amended the law Of 1891 and that
the supreme court of the United States
has decided that the law Of 1897 is I'M
constitutional. The separate trust act OF
ds93 was declared to be Illegal by the fed
eral supreme court last March. The deci-
sion has a direct bearing upon a large
number Of cases that have been begun
against manufacturing concerns to collect
fines for noncompliance with the pro-
visions Of the antitrust laws In regard Il
the filing Of afidavits. Early in 1899 At
torney General Aiken for the state or Illi-
nois and State Attorney Deneen, Of Cool
county, began 1900 suits in the courts o.
Cook county to recover $s,O50 from eacf
defendant, or a total Of nearly $40, 900, 900
The trust statutes provide that on septem.
Der /, OF each year the secretary or STATE
shall address a letter to every corporation
demanding an answer under oath as u
whether the corporation is a party to an!
pool, combination or trust. 1t was TO re

HOTEL PEOPLE NOT LIABLE
Judge MCPHERSON Instructs for De-
fendant in Damage Case
of Clancy boy.

six-year-old Freeman Clancy failed to re-
cover a cent from the Barker hotel people
for the loss OF his eye, shot out acciden-
tally by a bellboy, Ernest Lacey, on the
night Of January Is last. Friday morning
Judge Mcpherson instructed the jury which
had heard the case in United States circuit
court to return a verdict for the defendant.
The court held that plaintiff had no case,
because at the time the shooting occurred
the bellboy was. not on duty, and so the
hotel management was not responsible for
his actions. Plaintiff asked 500, 900. The
trial consumed all day Thursday and two

ant Event in Hts Life.
How George W. Outcalt. a we'll known

succeeded in extricating himself from a

II had been working very hard" he SAYS

But, finally. l saw that my health was
giving way-I was getting thin, was al
ways tired and easily out Of breath, my
blood was poor, my stomach bad. Every
now and then l would be dizzy and any
little exertion would exhaust me com
pletely. In short, | was all run down.
Then one day l saw an advertisement
which led me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They acted like
magic. | felt better in a few days. My
flesh came back till I regained my nor
NAL weight. my appetite returned and my
general health Is now better than II had
been for many years. I have recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills to many Of my
friends and am glad of this opportunity
to tell what the remedy has done for me-
What Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People did for Mr.. Outcalt they will do
for others similarly AFFLICTED. They are
different from ordinary medicine because
they act directly on the blood and nerves.
They are used with almost miraculous re-

American influence Getting There

An army oficer who has Just returned
from the Philippines says the native women
are initiating the American women, school
teachers and wives Of army officers, in the
matter Of dress, personal adornment and
manners. During the last year a great
change OF this nature has been observed
among the native women. who have been
thrown into contact with the "Americanos. "
The Philippine women now insist not only
upon having more clothes. but better
clothes. and the result is a marked i'm
provement in their average personal APP
~pearance.
A year and a half ago this ofleer passed
through a village in Luzon. In the house
where he lodged was a girl OF 10 to ~
years who smoked big. black cigars and
apparently enjoyed them. Visiting the
same village a few months ago the oficer
called TO see his friends. the native family.
He found the girl. now a little larger, OF
course, and also very much better dressed,

loose; old hulks Of cars were fired;
the alarm bells tolled; the people were
terrified; the most startling runors
were set afloat; the press volleyed and
thundered, and over all the wires sped
the news that Chicago's white throat
was in the red clutch of a mob; in
functions flew thick and fast, arrests
followed, and our office and headquar-
tiers, the heart of the strike, was sacked,
torn out and nailed up by the lawful"
authorities of the federal government;
and when in company with my loyal

murder, and by some fateful coin

Acting upon the advice of friends we

brilliant Clarence barrow and the ven
cradle Judge Lyman Trumbull, author

Mr. Harlan wanted to think of the

Continued from Page One.

condition and sufferings have made
N desperate; and when in their
y new found power dawns upon
!, the situation is completely
Ged, and they regard their en-
RS as poWerless to resist any de-
4, and themselves as almighty.
ter the first contest both have
ned lesson; and if the workers
'"intain their organization, they find
:. ':,her side possesses all the power nor
all the responsibility. They have
mutual respect for each other, and
enter into mutual agreements.
The best organized workers, those
who are better prepared to enter into
strikes or to resist lockouts, are those
who have least occasion to engage in
them, and yet are the greater bene-
ficiaries from modern civilization in
the form of higher wages, shorter hours
Of daily labor, and Sunday rest. They
attain a higher plane of morality,
economic, political and social indie
pendence.
Thousands of agreements reached,
the many more thousands of strikes
averted through organization, are lost
sight of by the sophists and superficial
observers, and strides regarded as the
sum total, the Alpha and Omega of the
labor movement when, as a matter of
fact, as already indicated, strikes are a
few Of the failures to agree on terms
upon which industry shall be contin-
ued
While some may assert that the
strike is a relic of barbarism, I an
swer that the strike is the most highly
civilized method which the workers,
the wealth producers, have yet de-
vised to protest against the wrong and
injustice. and to demand the enforce
ment of the right.
The strike compels more attention
and study into economic and social
wrongs than all the essays that have
been written. 1t establishes better re-
lations between the contending parties
than have heretofore existed: recon-
Giles laborers and capitalists more eff
fectually, and speeds the machinery
for production to greater extent;
gives an impetus to progress and in
creases power.
If the bitter attacks which are made
upon strikes and trade unions were to
be taken seriously we would ina CINE
ourselves in the midst of barbarism
and the United States the last in the
procession of the industrial nations OF
the world
There exists organization in China
bound by oath and superstition: but
there is no organized labor movement
there. Centuries of hunger have stulti-
fled the race, not satisfied it; curbed
and compressed them: not expended OF
broadened them-servility and physical
cOwardice are their attributes
China is "country without strikes,
and so long as our present industrial
system shall last a country without
strikes must of necessity be like China
or tend toward that goal.
Language fails me to express how
earnest are the organized workers in
their desire to avoid and to reduce the
number of strikes; but as one asso-
ciated with the labor movement of Am
erica, and who has given more than
thirty years of life to the study OF
