Assuming DOLn SlQeS 10 De III earn
est, every reason exists for believing
that the state is soon to witness ar
unusual battle between organized la
Dor and those opposing it, at least in
This instance. 1t will not be a fight
between organized capital" and an
organization of those who toll, for
capital does not enter into the con-
tcntion. Neither is the matter Of
wages nor hours of labor involved.
In this respect the situation is re-
markable and singular, for both of
those considerations are usually the
predominating factors to all disputes
between employer and employee. At
Anaconda the school trustees have
adopted resolutions antagonistic to
the formation of a union by the teach
ers, while those of Butte have placed
themselves strongly on record as be-
ing opposed to the acceptance by
teachers of nominations for public
offices of honor and profit. In both
instances the labor organizations Of
the respective cities have taken sides
with the pedagogues and some decid-
eddy warm utterances under the Of
fetal seal have been made expressive
of the sentiments and feelings of the
different unions.

st. Louis Republic: At the lowest

the north pole, according to Lieuten-

c~ommodations for a fraction of that
sum.

FEDERAL INCORPORATION LAW.

Omaha Bee: There will of course
be no action by the present congress
upon the bill which has been introduce
ed in the house of representatives
providing for the incorporation by the
national government of companies
purposing to engage in interstate and
foreign commerce. but the measure
presents a question of very great in
terest, which will undoubtedly receive
wide consideration in the not remote
future. There is o to be organized
a new department with a bureau
charged with the duty of investigating
corporations. 1t is by no means i'm
probable that this will prove to be a
stepping stone to a federal i%ncorpora-
ton law.
Such a law has now some strong
advoca' es. At the last annual meet
ing of the National Board of Trade the
matter received consideration and u
was declared that ''as to the desirable
ity of a national incorporation law
which will give greater elasticity and
unity the conflicting provisions OF
state laws there car be no doubt.
One of the most prominent corpora
ton lawyers in the country, James b.
Dill of New York, is an earnest ad-
vocate of a national incorporation act.
He urges that the business OF the
country demands uniform corporate
legislation, formulated upon the goou
Of the country as a whole, and not sec
tional legislation, state against state.
He would have a law along the lines
of the national banking act, not
%abridging the powers Of the state to
| create local corporations. but afford
ing an opportunity to organize r
! porations, national in extern, WIose
business relates to trade 'etWeeh
states or with foreign countries, with
protection of the national government
against conflicting state legislation
and local political enactments. In the
opinion of Mr.. Dill the corporations
would voluntarily avail themselves OF
such legislation for several reasons,
chiefly self-protection and self-preser-
walton. It has become necessary for
sound corporations to create a pubic
distinction involving a recognized dlf-
ference between themselves and those
who are following in their wake and
attempting to initiate their standing
and position. These sound corpora
lions. there can be no doubt, would
avail themselves of a national law
mo corporation engaged in interstate
commerce." says Mr.. Dill, mo cor
poration desiring to do business
throughout the length and breadth OF
the country, could afford to be other
than a national organization. IL
would not be long before the, investing
public would draw the lines Sharply
between state-created organizations
assuming to do a business national in
extent and true national corpora
tons"
There will be no further legislation
at present dealing with the corpora
tons. This congress has lone all
that is thought to be o necessary
and judicious. 1t is quite probable,

VERY POOR EXCUSE
For an Effort to Repudiate Su.
preme Court Candidacy
of Guy Q. Scott.
MASS MEETING OF FIVE ACTS
Which is Seized by Morning Paper
TO Advance Candidate Whose
Course IL Condemned.

The Union of this morning devotes
considerable space to an effort to
show that at a ''mass" meeting of
democrats in Moline Monday evening
resolutions were adopted disparaging
the election of Hon. Guy c. Scott as
supreme court judge from the Fourth
ell the candidacy of Mr.. Moore for
the legislature last fan. On this ac-
count resolutions, according to the
Unions article. were adopted calling
on all democrats TO vote against Mr..
Scott fs%
The resolutions are spiteful in tone,
displaying the personal animus that
is back of them, and il is circum-
stance both gratifying and notewor-
thy that the mass" meeting at which
they were adopted was composed of
a total of five individuals, including
the chairman and secretary. 1t is this
little squad responding to a call for
"a mass meeting that has the effront-
cry to as the democrats generally
of Rock Island county to pass up the
opportunity to elect citizen of an
adjoining county to the supreme
court of the state. and to contribute
To the election of retiring member
whose political methods have been
such as to ALLEVIATE Il large percentage
of his own party all over the district.
The fact that the mass meet
ing was attended by so few that all
might have signed the resolutions
without cramping the space that it
would require to publish them, is the
probable excuse tor the Unions fail
urc to make reference to the meet
ing before this, and it happens
that the account of the alleged pro-
ceedings is published merely for the
purpose of bolStering up an effort on
the part of the Union to fulfill an OBJ
legation that involves reputation of
its own past attitude, in unfolding
now the candidacy of Judge Carter
for reelection.
