RAILROADS MAY TRY
NEW IMMUNITY PLAN
Recently Discovered Clause
May Hamper Present In
quiry in Minneapolis.
Roads Cannot be Held for Re-
bates Given Prior to Pas
sage Of Amendment.

Something new in the way of an i'm
eral investigation which will begin
Monday in Minneapolis, in case any
indictments are returned by the grand
jury.
Attorneys will call attention Of the
court to the alleged fact that their
clients are immune under the provis-
ions of the new railroad law.
AlthO the Elkins law was not re-
pealed, provision Of the new law
committed previous to the date of the
passage Of the new bill. The attorneys
will therefore say that the prosecution
falls to the ground. because action has
been brought under the new law, which
expressly cuts off prosecutions Of in
fractions of the anti-rebate provis-
ions of the old law.
On the other hand it Is said that the
government attorneys are fully posted
on the proposed line of defense which
will be put up, but that, on advice OF
Attorney General Moody, they will, pro
ceed with the investigation.
Owing to the fact that the plan has
been divulged to the government, the
move will be shorn of it's surprise
feature, as the government will be
prepared with briefs applying to the
point which will be taken
About 100 subpoenas have been serv-
ed on local railroad officials and en-
ployes. About half of the persons
summoned are in danger of indict-
ment. The remainder are simply wit.
nesses. The papers were served nv
deputy United States marshals from the
northern part of the state, who were
comparatively unacquainted in Min
neapolis, and able to do their work
without exciting comment.
Witnesses Profess Ignorance
Subpoenaed railroad and business
men profess that they don't know anv.
thing about what is going on, Josenh
Gaskell, secretary and assistant trea 9.
urer of the Minneapolis & st. Lou,s
road, one Of the first to receive a sub
poena, says he doesn't know anytime
about rebates. He opened his eyei
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1906-10-27

with wonder when asked why he could
possibly have been called before the
federal court.
Another st. Louis road man who re-
ceived a bit Of paper from the hands
Of the woman deputy Of the United
States marshal was S. w. Patton. a
voucher clerk in the auditors depart
ment He was equally surprised at the
summons. George T. Huey, assistant
general freight agent of the Wisconsin
Central, who was said to have received
one of the federal billets doux, denied
that he had been served and said he
didn't know thing about rebates, or
what was going on.
Gustav. F. Eve, vice president Of
the Atlas Elevator company, is said to
be one of the favored ones, but the
PAPER has not been served as yet. E.
B. Obder, general freight agent of the
Omaha road at st. Paul, until recently
assistant general freight agent In
Minneapolis, has been called. Samuel
Stickney general manager Of the Great
Western road has been asked to come
over from the general offices at St.
Paul, and l.. E. Draper, who is auditor
ir the massive brick headquarters Of
the Great Northern road at Third and
Broadway, will don his overcoat early
next week and leave for Minneapolis
to listen to the inquiries Of the grand
jury.
Some Predict a Comedy.
The federal attorneys are pegging
along in a quiet way, and point to
massive bundles of papers with a. sig
nificant smile to indicate in a mute
way that they know what they are
doing.
At the time of the Wisconsin Central
indictments two years ago in Minnea-
polls the same portentious attitude was
taken by the government officials, and
the same dense ignorance Of what they
were wanted for permeated the groups
of summoned witnesses. The Wiscon-
Gin Central case fell by the board, be-
cause the apparently strong evidence
Of rebates proved to have no founda-
ton and was easily explained away.
Some Of the railroad men and shippers
intimated that the new Investigation
will be just as much IT a comedy.
Attorney John Marchan will not
have charge of the government inves-
tigation this time. It has been in
trusted to H. B. Duncan, assistant at
torney general from Washington. Until
he arrives Paul Ewert, assistant United
States district attorney, is pushing
preparations for the prosecution.

STELz|E DON'T Think
MUCH Of LABOR CHURCH
Says a Class Church Would
Not Even Meet With the
Approval of Labor.
It Is Not In Accord With the
True Spirit of the Teach
ings of Christ.

Recently an earnest, and I believe
thoroughly sincere, trades unionist ad-
vocated the plan Of organizing a
church within the ranks of organized
labor, which should be composed ex-
clus1vely Of working people who made
profession Of Christianity. The min
listers, the officers, the teachers, the
singers-all who had anything to do
with this novel organization, were to
come from the ranks Of the tOilers.
Repeatedly has it been suggested to
me that I organize the Christian trades
unionists in the labor movement into
separate trades unions. But always
have declined to become the advo-
cate Of such a scheme for practically
the same reasons that prompt me to
dlsapprove of the organization OF
working people into separate religious
organizations of any kind
Perhaps the strongest objection to
such a plan is the fact that working
men themselves do not believe in
'class" churches. I once wrote to
three hundred of the prominent lead
ers of labor asking their opinions con-
cerning the organization of dis
tlnctly "Workingmen's" church. Only
three of the three hundred were favor
ably disposed toward the proposition
among the reasons given for op-
posing it were the following: 1T true
religion means anything it means the
ia I'll thorhNN6 0f j.
or man, and an exclusive church would
be contrary to that doctrine" while
Worklngmen are poor, they are also
proud, and they would be slow to con-
meet themselves with an exclusive in
stltution which might possibly be
dubbed a poor mans church," "a
church established exclusively for the
Worklngman would deterioriate. There
would ultimately arise a secluded. iso-
lated and forsaken spirit that would
eventually end in strife and disaffec-
tion."
One Of the reasons given for the Or
ganlizatiQn sof this . .'worlkingman,s
achurcn q iiaaaKIfs
many. great and grievous mistakes !,
But Isn't that also true Of the labor
union is 1t not better to keep them
"here they are, so that through their
influence they may correct the errors
"nlch are now being made? This is
equally true Of the church. We need
every loyal Christian trades unfonist
IN the church, just as we need the
loyal Christian trades unionist in the
labor union.
ouch process Of seclusion wonJd
also result in sort of pharsaical snirit
winch would practically DESTROY the
influence of the Christian man who
would engage in such an enternriso
Inc i am better than Thou attitude
makes few converts.
What we really need todav is .
STRAIGHTFORWARD manly Christian life
hVed out both in the church and in tho
labor union, without much ho,,rishino .
OF trumpets. That kind Of living will
soon rectify the mistakes both in tho
church and in the labor union and -
VIII also usher in the day when there
Will exist truer spirit of real brother
hood.

MOODY MAY ADORN
THE SUPREME BENCH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-whiie no
official statement is obtainable, unof-
fcial information confirms the report
that the president will appoint Attor-
ney General w. H. Moody Of Massachu-
setts to the vacancy, In the supreme
bench made vacant by the retirement
Of Associate Justice Henry B. Brown.
The annuonced intention Of the presi-
dent to appoint Mr.. oMody to the su-
preme court bench came as a surprise
as 1t was gen orally understood that he
had eliminated the attorney general
from consideration In that connection
because of the fact mainly that Massa-
chusetts already has a representative
on the bench in the person Of Associate
Justice Holmes. Mr.. Moody's nomina-
.tion will be sent to the senate when
congress convenes but the general ex-
pectation Is that he will not take his
seat on the bench until about Jan. /
when. as previously announced, he ex-
poets to retire from the attorney gem
eralship. : A@ II
