To increase judicial salari. !
Another attempt is being mad :, |
crease the salaries of the iudgss ~ I
United States courts to some,hin,
what they ought to be. Both h.!
have discussed the subject ovs. 4
over again. The senate has nss,s;s
bill several times for the purpo:s u
outside of the labor unions and /
populists there are no objections ,l
former have made no open obi4tI
but resent the action of the iuirs
several of the federal courts in nj
ing injunctons during strikes \
sending agitators to Jail. Thei, brI
ity is directed at individual iIJ
rather than at the judiciary srrsI
The populist element, led BY Mr.. Bml
think that the judges r ALREADY &
more than they earn, but they hsy.I
longer any influence in congress.
The pending bill proposes to gtysl
chief justice OF the supreme cour. d
900 a year instead OF s10,5 500, as a, hi
emit; the associate justices, $12,Qi
stead Of $4,000: circuit Judges, I'D
