ARE AGAINST INJUNCTToNs.
Railway Unions seek Legislation to
Check Court Power.

washington. May 19.-Republiean
mem ers of the house have received a
letter from H. r. Fuller of Washing
ton, legislative representative of the
brotherhood of engineers, fremen,
trainmen and conductors, asking them
if they would be willing to sign pc
tition for a caucus for the purpose of
considering legislation desired by these
brotherhoods. The letter follows:
Dear Sir.=For the past ten years the
organized railroad employees of the Uni
ted States have continually prayed
congress for the enactment of legisla-
ton which would correct the abuse of
the power of injunction by federal
Judges in labor disputes, but so far our
efforts have been in vain. During this
time various bills on the subject have
been pending before the committee on
Judiciary of the house of representa-
tives. and during the last and present
congresses extensive hearings have been
had upon them. Efforts have been
made in committee, both in the last
congress and in this one. to bring these
bills to a vote. but all motions to this
effect have been met with dtiatory mo-
tions which were offered and carried
by the Republican members.
In view of this we are convinced that
It is not the intention of the present
organization of the house to permit any
LEGISLATION on this important subject to
come before the house for a vote. and
as the only alternative left us is to
appeal to the individual Republican
members of the house, I would there
fore respectfully ask you if you would
be willing to sign a petition for an
early call of a Republican caucus for
the purpose of considering this subject.
and if so. to please advise me of the
same.
I am sending copies of this letter to
other Republican members, and If a
sufficient number of them express a
willingness to sign such a petition. we
will have one prepared for circulation.

the responsibility of the Shipper To-
errors that may occur is in no wise les
sened. If. in carload shipments. the
weight quoted in the freight bill shows
no larger deviation than 2 per cent from
the weight ascertained from the railway
scales, the former is considered correct.
In case of an incorrect declaration OF
the contents. Of a shipment, or Of a too
low declaration of the weight of a. car
load or of the overlooking of a car be-
yond its prescribed capacity by the
shipper or his agent, in addition to the
payment of the possible freight differ
ence and compensation for the damage
produced, fines may be imposed and
made payable to the companies concern
ed in the transportation of the goods.
the amounts of which vary from $2S5
per kilo (220 pounds) to various minor
penalties.
In case fines imposed are not paid by
the shipper or his agent within a. period
specified by the railroad authorities, the
goods may be sold at public SALE and
the proceeds derived applied to the
amount of the fine Should the pro-
ceeds of the sale not equal the amount
of the fine, she SHIPPER or his agent may
be still held legally responsible for the
unsatisfied balance.

Leavenworth, Kan. Nay 1s.-The
Times says:
What the sentiment Of the coal
miners in the southwest district, of
which Leavenworth is a part, is con-
corning the present situation may be
judged from the fact that the miners
have practically appealed to President
Mitchell for the right to return to
work at the old running scale. The
presidents of the state organizations
are now in Springfield, Ill. comforting
with Mitchell
1t has been known for weeks that
the miners of LeavenwOrth and other
coal centers Of the southwest have
been dissatisfied with conditions large
~ on the ground that in other parts
of the country the miners have been
permitted to make terms and return to
work, whereas here, where there was
no grievance to begin with, they are
being held out at loss greatest to
themselves.

Of $4,000 in United

SHOALS, Ind, Jan. 1.-Safe blowers
wrecked the safe In J. P. Albaugh's
store Just after midnight and stole
$4,000 In United States bonds and
5000 In cash. After blowing the safe
with nitroglycerin the robbers escap
ed, leaving no clue, but bloodhounds
from Boonville were placed on the
trail at 10 O'Clock this morning and
the men were traced southwark from
tbe city.
No one knows how the men entered
the town nor how they made their de-
parture, but it is believed they had no
horses.
Otto Taylor, a young man who was
returning home, was the only person
in the town who saw the robbers. He
saw light In the rear end OF the AL
baugL store building and when he ap-
preached the building he was stopped
by man who placed revolver at his
head and commanded him to be quiet.
A second man Joined the first robber
and they led Taylor to the town lock-
up, where he was bound hand and foot
and left prisoner.
Taylor suffered terrible from his
night Of exposure and he was almost
frozen when he was rescued this
morning He had been gagged and
1t was not until after daylight that he
was able to make noise loud enough
to attract attention. Taylor believes
there were six men In the gang.
He says heidi not see any horses and
1t is believed the men employed the
same methods as the robbers who
worked In this state several weeks
ago.

PERIL IN NEGLECT OF CRIME
Pathologist Says Government Should
Study Cause Of Evils.

WASHINGTON, Jan "A talk on
social pathology was given by Arthur
Mcdonald at meeting of the Wash.
ington Harvard Club tonight
"Those whose abnormality is deter.
mental to the community, such as
criminals, paupers, insane and other
abnormals," said Mr. Mcdonald,
'roughly estimated, constitute per.
haps per cent Of the community. 1t
is surprising that so small number OF
individuals can cause so much evil
The criminal classes alone cost our
country some $500 1000, 900 yearly yet,
strange to say, the study of the cause
of crime involving this enormous cx-
pense is neglected by the government.
ut is time that university men
trained in psychology, sociology, or
science should interest themselves in
the study of social abnormalitles or
diseases, continued Mr.. Mcdonald.
"This method Of ignoring an evil, like
In physical disease, allows 1t full op-
portunity to develop. In order to pre-.
vent or lessen any social disease, the
causes must be sought out first II rem
edies are to be applied nationally"
