The New York board of arbitration
and mediation has just transmitted to
the legislature of that state its report
of strikes and labor disputes for the
fiscal year ended last September. But
the statistics relating to the prolonged
building trades troubles in New York
City are brought UP to the 4th of the
current month by the unions involved.
They show that S7,O37 laborers suffered
from fdleness. losing 1.707.o19 days and
a total in wages of Sc, 754, 751. The
unions concerned numbered 81, repre-
senting "a occupations. The % assist
ing unions disbursed SIP. 421.
The board attaches to this impress
sive array Of figures recommendations
of principles to establish peaceful re-
iations between employers and en-
ployes:
First, the right Of either party to or
ganize and present to the other any
proposition affecting employment.
Second, that consideration be given
these petitions.
Third. that employers shall have the
right to enforce discipline. but that
employees shall be conceded the right
OF protest against determinations.
The fourth is somewhat less com
mon, and provides that eve~y possible
contingency that may arise many en-

DEFEAT or THE COAL TRUST.

DEFEAT OF THE COAL TRUST.
The United States supreme court has
dealt another trust a severe blow. This
time it is the anthracite trust which
refused to submit its books to invesd-
cation by the interstate commerce com
mission. The lower court upheld the
trusts contention, but that action has
been reversed by the court of last re-
sort.
In handing down the opinion cf the
court Justice Day said that the case had
grown out of a complaint Of William
Randolph Hearst filed in 1902, with the
interstate commerce commission against
the Philadelphia & Reading, the Lehigh
Valley, the Delaware & Lackawanna-
the Central Railway company of New
Jersey and other railroad companies
and that it came to- the supreme court
on an appeal from an order made in the
circuit court of the United States for
the southern district of New York, in
the matter of the petition of the COM
missioners for orders requiring the testi-
mony of witnesses and the production
of certain books and papers in pursu-
ance of the requirements of the inter
state commerce law.
The first point decided was that Of
jurisdiction which the court decided it
had under the law of 1902. regulating
interstate commerce, and therefore re-
fused to entertain the motion to dis
miss, which was made by the railroad
companies. The court also held as ir-
relevant and inapp1icable the point
made in behalf of the railroad COM
panies that Mr.. Hearst, the complain
ant, had sustained no damage in the
case. saying that under the mandatory
provision of the law the commission
could not do otherwise than Investigate.
Coming to the specific items of testi-
mony which the circuit court in dis
missing the petition considered irrele-
want the court first considered the
coal purchase contracts. Thesea con-
tracts We're made with coal companies
owned principally by the railroad COM
panies and fixed the price of anthracite,
shipments to be made as called for by
the purchasers. While the contracts
were produced for inspection the wit
nesses refused to permit them to be
given in evidence.
In passing upon this point Justice
Day said:
THE railroads are all engaged in in
terstate commerce and into their affairs
and methods of doing business the COM
mission ought to and is lawfully author
lied by the commerce act to make in
vestigation. The commission has the
right to know how interstate traffic is
conducted, the relations between the
carrier and its shippers and the rates
charged and collected. We see no rea-
son why contracts of this character.
which have direct relation to a large
amount of carrying trade, can be with
held from examination as evidence by
the commission"

No particular novelty can be discov-
cred in these recommendations of the
New York board, but they are notable
as a reahirmation of principles that
are constantly gathering strength and
whose domination in the labor world
will soon become as commonplace a
procedure as the civil service system
of the government.
