THE injunction against the NJ eat
Trust should be the first of many.
Get after all the other trusts.

side-tracked in Congress, and the Dem

laboring man is still in the dim future.
Arbitration has cut no figure at all in
the great strike Of the anthracite coal
miners.

a pretty penny. Let US hope that
the troubles of the island are now at
an end.

his name Dennis.
THE boy King of Spain was crowned
last week, and already the anarchists

IT is stated that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has become dis
gruntled with the Western Union
Telegraph Company and has notified

HERE'S news for you The Hon.
Mat Quay has announced that he

continuance of such representation it's
