Madison, Jan. q.
Coffin-nails are in i'll favor with the
Wisconsin legislature, and there is
good prospect of the enactment of a
statute which will greatly curb their
use. In the assembly Charles A.
Evans of Eau Claire introduced
sweeping prohibitive measure, which
provides that any person who shall
buy himself, his servant or agent, or
as the servant or agent of any OTTER
person, directly or indirectly. or upon
any pretense, or by any device, manu-
facture, sell or offer for sale, keep for
sale, give away. or otherwise dispose
of, or bring into the state for the pur-
pose Of selling. offering or giving
away any cigarettes, cigarette paper
or cigarette wrappers, or any substi-
tute therefor, or who shall own, Keep
or be in any way concerned. engaged
or employed lii, owning OF keeping any
such cigarettes, cigarette paper, cigar
cite wrappers or substitute therefor.
or who shall authorize or permit the
same to be done, shall be guilty of
misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof be punished, for the first of
tense by a fine of not less than s25
nor more than $50, or by imprison-
ment in jail not exceeding 80 days,
and for the second and each subse-
Qrent offense by a fine of not less
than 500 nor more than $500, or by
imprisonment in Jail not less than 80
days nor more than six months. These
provisions are not to apply to the
sales of jobbers or manufacturers do
ing an interstate business with Gus
toners of the state.
1t is specified that the act shall take
effect and be in force from and after
July 1st 1905

JENKINS OFFERS
INJUNCTION BILL
WISCONSIN MAN FATHERS I'M
PORTANT MEASURE.
RESULT OF CONFERENCES
Work of President Roosevelt in
Bringing Together Labor and Cap
taI Interests Develops Proposed
Change in Jurisprudence Regarding
Industrial Disputes.

Washington, Jan. 27.-An important
measure, the result of conferences
held during the past two months be-
tween President Roosevelt, Attorney
General Moody, Commissioner of Cor
porations Garfield and representatives
Of LABOR organizations and corporate
interests, has been introduced in the
house by Representative jenkins of
Wisconsin, chairman of the judiciary
committee. 1t provides that in labor
disputes an injunction shall not be
issued until opportunity shall ha' e
been afforded the adverse marty TO
the proceedings to be heard by the
court and is intended as a substitute
for measures pending in congress.
Two months ago President Roose.
welt entertained at dinner the heads
Of several important labor organiza-
tom, II. r. Fuller, the legislative rep
resentatives of several of those organ
cations, Secretary Morton and Com
missioner Garfield. The subject of
aLti-injunction legislation was dis
cussed thoroughly. The representa-.
tives of labor strongly urged the ne
cessity of legislative action to limit
what they regarded as unfair use of
the courts at times against them.
After full consideration, however, in
which all present informally partici-
pated, it was deemed inadvisable to
attempt to limit the equity jurisdic-
ton of courts. Neither the presi-
dent nor any of his advisers would
consent to suggestions looking to the
limitation of the right of Injunction. be-
lieving that they would be fundamen-
tally unjust and, therefore, would not
command the approval of congress
and the people.
Shortly after this conference, Com
missioner Garfield and representatives
Of lab>r organizations discussed the
question with Attorney General
Moody. A tentative measure en-
bOdying ideas which, it was agreed,
would meet the difficulty raised by
the labor organizations was prepared
The measure, it is explained, sis sim
ply the incorporation into law of
equity rule, No. 55, and the application
of it specifically to labor cases." Elk
animation of the proposed measure by
representatives. of both labor and cor
porate interests showed that such a
law would have met practically all the
cases of which the labor organizations
had complained. The measure was
submitted to members of congress, in
Guiding Representative jenkins, and,
being regarded as a fair adjustment OF
the matter and that it would meet the
situation which had developed in con-
gress, it was introduced in the house,
with the idea of furnishing congress a
basis of legislative action that was.
satisfactory TO the interests of both
labor and capital.

to apply to all causes of action herein
embraced, as well those which have
already accrued as those which shall
accrue hereafter, saving only from it's
operation those which are now bar
red by any statute of limitations now
in force.
The bill was fully and clearly ex-
planned by Assemblyman Warner, the
Madison member, who said that inves-
legations in progress by the railroad
commission indicate that considerable
sums may be due the state on I'M
reported earnings and that. to recover
them, suit must be begun before Feb
ruary l or the state be barred for one
year from such proceedings. On his
motion the rules were suspended with
out objection and the bill passed
unanimously.
