trail Railroad Discusses
Antitrust Law.

Chicago, May 24.-Five hundred
members of the Illinois Manufacture
ers association and their guests were
present at the banquet of that organ
ization at the Auditorium hotel. Pres
ident B. A. Eckhart Of the associa-.
ton presided.
The chief address Of the evening
was made by William C. Brown, vice.
president of the New York Central
railroad, who spoke on Our Country
and Our Railroads." and who Incl
dentally declared himself in favor Of
the combination Of railroads. He
said in part:
Propositions looking to the betterme nt
Of service, having no other object and i'm
possible of any other result, have been
misunderstood and have been fought inch
by inch with "a perseverance and zeal
worthy Of a better cause.
Consultations for the purpose of fos-
tering commences: combinations of roads
which would bring the great grain pro-
ducing, manufacturing states of the mid
die west in closer connection with the i'm
portant and growing exporting cities Of
sitton as fierce and persistent as that en-
countered by any, similar proposition in
the past.
It is not impossible that the language
of the majority of the supreme court in
recently deciding an important case, may,
III the llSHt OF the years TO come, seem TO
reflect the clamor Of the public rather
than the calm, judicial review Of a great
question by this exalted tribunal
BY legislative amendment or by jul
dicial interpretation the question Of rea-
sonable restraint Of commerce, as against
any restraint whatever, must become a
part of the Sherman antitrust law and
must be considered in it's enforcement or
obstacles to commercial and Industrial
progress are likely to be interposed, the
| gravity Of which no one can foresee and
only the lapse of years can determine.

MAKES GIFT TO SERVANT
PUNISHABLE AS CRIME
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
Boston, May 24.-The state legisla-
ture has aimed a deadly blow at the
perquisites Of household servants, but
lers and others who are interested
with the marketing and purchasing
for the establishments with which
they are connected.
The custom, which had it's origin
in presenting children with, sticks Of
candy and has grown into an elab-
crate system Of commissions to SER
wants, has been made misdemeanor
punishable by fines ranging from $40
to $500, and by Imprisonment not to
exceed one year.
The law provides that whoever
gives any gratuity or any servant who
receives gift under an understanding
that he shall act in any particular
manner in relation to his employers
business, shall be subject to conviction
and punishment
The manufacturers who have been
compelled to share profits with SER
wants or purchasing agents, are re-
sponsible for the measure.

Catarrhal inflammation of the mu-
cous lining of the Kidneys, also called
''Bright's disease" may be either acute
or chronic. The acute form produces
symptoms of such prominence that thu
serious nature Of the disease is at once
suspected, but the chronic variety may
come on so gradually and insidiously that
It's presence is not suspected until after
1t has fastened itself thoroughly upon its
victim.
At the appearance of the first symp-
tom, Peruna should be taken. This rem
edy strikes at once at the very root Of
the disease.

Melville e. Stone Speaks About Rus.
STA and JaDan.

Chicago, May 24.-Melville B. Stone
spoke on the subject of the Russian
Japanese war at the banquet of the
Illinois Manufacturers association.
He made an earnest plea for neutral
ity on the part Of the citizens Of this
country, saying that he asked for 1t
not in letter or act alone, but in es-
sence and in spirit.
He declared that Russia had been
the strong and consistent friend Of
the American republic almost from its
foundation down to the present time,
and he recounted numerous historical
facts to prove his assertion.
Our obligation to Japan, he said,
was of different character, but no
less binding. cit u.s." he said, "the
obligation of the parent to the child"

SAYS WOMEN KILL in
PACKING HOUSE PLANTS
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago May 24.-Are women
workers in the stockyards required to
do slaughtering and perform other
tasks of brutalizing influence? This
is the question brought to the fore
by the demand made by union labor
that the field Of female work in the
packing-houses be restricted.
Michael Donnelly, national leader
Of the butcher workmen, declares that
women in many parts of the coun-
try supplant men in the more brutal
branches Of the industry, and that
the tendency is already noticeable in
the Chicago plants.
Donnelly alleges that in one Of the
st. Joseph packingIhouses women are
employed to cut UP: the carcasses Of
freshly slaughtered animals, and In
some instances dosthe killing.
The principal Chicago concerns
deny that the women employees do
any killing. It is said, however, that
at particularly busy seasons Of the
year some of the smaller concerns
have turned the meat-cutting over to
the women, the men being needed in
the slaughter pens.
