You don't know what work is

She is Mrs. Thorowgood, a plain
woman of England, whose testi-
mony at hearing before a public
board at Lambeth, has created a
sensation throughout Britain.
She didn't go to complain. She
was just a witness at an investiga-
ton. She said that her regular
employment was in factory where
she earned a few shillings a week
for working from a. m. until late
IN the evening. Her wages were
not sufficient to provide all the ne.
cessities Of even a poor English
working woman and so she sewed

she had extra hours. At 8 in the
evening she reached home, ate her
crust, tidied her room and dropped
into bed. At a. m. she was up.
and from that hour until 1t was
time to go to the factory she sat
and stitched trousers.
And her extra" pay? 1t was 2
cents an hour! She testified that
she received II shillings and 8
pence for 141 hours work. That
was ] pence an hour, or cents in
American money.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.
"A few members of congress are
beginning to realize that the United
States stands to lose in the coming
struggle for the trade of the orient.
Unless something is done-and at
once-the great prize of the three
thousand million dollar trade of
China and Asiatic India will go to
our great commercial rival, Japan.
Senator l.. S. Overman of North
Carolina, as a member of the SEN
ate committee on manufactures,
has introduced a bill to appoint a
commission to study ways and
means for recovering and increas-
ing American commerce in foreign
territories, and chiefly in the far
east. The bill, however, has made
no progress.
The department of commerce and
labor is receiving reports from our
consuls in Japan which in their
forecast of a commercial war are
calculated to alarm.
Already the Japanese government
owns or controls large per cent
of the railways and directly con-
trolls the telegraph and telephone
lines, the salt works, the tobacco
monopoly, and the production of
camphor. 1t conducts a printing
bureau with type foundry and pa

has been behind the silk industry
and the rice growing industry which
is coming into active competition
with the fields of Texas and the
southeast. Recently the Japanese
government decided to wipe out the

Former Secretary of the Navy.
The question of judicial review
OF decisions of the interstate COM
merce commission making remedial
rates does not seem to be very CON-
plicated.
The object of the shippers is to
get orders fixing such rates, which
shall not be at once destroyed eth
or by the refusal of the railroads to
obey them or by immediate sus
pensions OF the orders by judges
just or unjust.
There is no remedy for the ship
pers Or passengers In refusing to
pay the freight or the fares-they
must pay before they get back their
merchandise or get into the cars.
Therefore, there should be and
are in the pending bill two neces-
sary remedies: % criminal penal
ties upon the railroads for refusals
TO obey the orders of the commits
sion, and, (2) the command to the
courts to issue mandamus orders to
the railroads commanding them to
obey the orders of the commission.
Now, it is easily to be seen that
there is no way to prevent judges
just or unjust-from refusing either
to enforce the penalties or to issue
the mandamus orders until they
have considered and determined the
constitutionality Of the law and the
legality of the action of the commits
sion Hereunder. To this extent
therefore the shippers and passen.
gers-the people-are in the hands
OF the judges-just or unjust.
But there is one thing which con.
gress can do. 1t can prevent the
Judges from interfering to suspend
the orders Of the commission. II

orders they must justify themselves
if they can and take their chances
Of judicial relief in the course of the
prosecutions for penalties and the
proceedings for mandamus which
may be brought against them by
the government.
Therefore, the pending bill should
be amended by striking out the
words which are a recognition of
the possibility that the orders of
the commission may be suspended
or set aside by a court. There
should be no recognition of court
power except in the clauses provid.
ing for penalties and mandamus
proceedings.
In view of the evident determine
ton of the railroads to destroy the
value of the law by suspensory Or
ders from subservient judges there
should be a clause added depriving
all courts of power to suspend the
orders Of the interstate commerce
commission.

the railroads will say are intended
to allow for dividends on watered
