LABOR

Carpenters Leaders Fined.
Five officers of the United Brother
hood Of Carpenters and Joiners were
heavily fined by Judge Treber in the
circuit court at st. Louis for disobey-
Ing strike and boycott injunction Sc
cured by local sash and door COM
pany. George Bohner, the New York
organizer of the national union, was
fined 500 and the others each $50.
and all had to share in paying costs
amounting to $1,000, but stay Of ex9-
cution was granted for thirty days.
To Beat Nonunion Directory.
The Chicago Federation of Labor has
adopted the novel scheme Of ordering
it's 100000 members to give their
names as John Smith" to the Chicago
Directory in the hope of. making the
1906 Directory worthless because 1t is
printed by nonunion firm.

tory" instead Of "remunerative," as in
the present bill. Although no actual
conferences were held between the
president and Senator Bailey, the
agreement was made known through
mutual friends.
Following legal defense of the court
review principle by Senator Clapp Of
Minnesota, Senator Tillman made the
startling declaration that "if the con-
sress is hedged about by judicial de-
.crees Of the courts we will have to re-
form the United States supreme court,
because the people will have relief from
this intolerable condition" Senator
Ciapp, vino is al able lawyer, had held
that the imposition Of $1,000 day
fine for disobedience of the commits
sion's order would not prevent the
railroads from attacking an order. He
thought that the suspension of the rate
by court would abolish the order. 1t
then became doubtful If enough rad
ical Republicans would follow the pres
ident to insure the passage Of the de-
sired rate bill

Disgrace Of the National Capital.

Disgrace Of the National Capital.
The March number of Charities and
the Commons, organ Of the publication
committee Of the National Conference
Of Charities and Corrections, throws Il
powerful searchlight upon the work
of congress es local governing body
for the District Of Columbia. For ten
months past the agents Of this commit
tee have been gathering first hand data
of the deplorable conditions prevailing
there. An appeal is made by such well
known men as Edward 4. Devine, ia
cob A. Riis, Graham Taylor, Robert
w. DeForest and s. w. Woodward to
members of congress to give ear to re-
forms urgently needed. The investiga-
ton brings to light the fact that there
is no compulsory school attendance and
that 10000 children last year were not
In the schools. There are no laws
against children working. no special
Juvenile court, no I'LL the year play
grounds and no adequate housing laws,
but slum conditions as bad as those Of
Chicago and New York. Notwithstand-
ing that in 1900 there We're 5000 chill
dren under fifteen at work In the Dis
trict q child labor law was defeated in
congress last year. Ben B. Lindse Of
the Denver children's court says in a
signed editorial that III proportion to
Washinston's population there are
more than twice as many so called
thieves among the minors than adults.
From this he argues the need of a
juvenile court. The people back Of this
movement wish it understood that they
are not merely criticising officials, but
that their purpose is to cooperate with
existing agencies at the capital.

Just as the case of the Red Rock
Fuel company of West Virginia against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, to
compel the execution of an order by
the interstate commerce commission
for adequate transportation facilities,
was going to trial at Clarksburg the
counsel for the railroad virtually sur
rendered by giving the desired rail-
road connection. 1t was this case of
weapon in congress to break up the
Pennsylvania railroad coal monopoly.
George e. Green Acquitted.
Former State Senator Green Of New
York was acquitted at Washington Of
the charge Of conspiring to defraud the
government in connection with postal
supplies, the government having been
unable to establish q business connec-
ton between Green and George w.

Six Tracks For the p. r. r.

Six Tracks For the p. r. r.
The Pennsylvania railroad manage
ment has announced that it will pro-
coed at once to carry out it's long con-
templated project Of constructing a
separate double track railroad from
Pittsburg to Philadelphia and New
York. The main advantage of this
project is that it will enable traffic
managers to separate freight and pas
senger trains entirely, thus avoiding
the expensive side tracking of slow
trains in order to operate fast ones.
The line is expected to cost $50, 600
and to require three years to complete,
together with extensive freight termi-
nails. One Of the first sections of the
new two track line will be between
Morrisville and Newark. The annual
report shows total earnings Of $780,
81, 1902, an increase of SIG, 73O, 100. The
company now owns $3.50, GOA, 457 Of Sc.

ficials Of the Standard Oil company

Kansas Loses Oil Trust Fight.
The supreme court Of Kansas dis
missed the suit Of the state Of Kansas

against the alleged oil monopoly which
was begun In Kansas about year

Upon the complaint of W. R. Hearst,

the railroads to Lowell NJ. Palmer as

Drainage Canal Decision.
After innumerable delays the su.
preme court Of the United States has
rendered its decision against the de-
mand Of the state Of Missouri for q
perpetual injunction to prevent the city
of Chicago from emptying sewage into
the drainage canal whose waters reach
the Mississippi through the Desplaines

from Lake Michigan the Illinois had
been actually improved instead Of
harmed.

LEGISLATIVE
Coal and Oil Prebsr Signed.

SoAl ana vi prVUer OI0u0os
The president sent to congress- a mes
sage stating that he had signed the
joint resolution authorizing the CON-
merce commission to investigate rail-
read determinations and monopolies
in coal and oil. At the same time he re-
buked the legislators sharply for what
he regarded as loose and ineffective
measure. He urged that it's defects be
relnedied by legislation and said that
unless this was granted the resolution
must be mainly and might be entirely
imperative. In the first place, he said
that part of the investigation called
for Is already under way by the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and
this may conflict with the proposed in
quiry. The president also said that in
order to make the investigation effec-
tive it would result in giving immunity
from criminal prosecution to all per-
sons who are constrained to testify.
He called attention to the fact that the
resolution must remain imperative I'M
less money is provided to carry out the
Investigations. He thought it ques-
tionable whether the commission could
compel the attendance of witnesses as
the resolution now stands. He sug-
gested the appropriation of $4,000 for
this work
