The new antitoXin bill, which has
been introduced in the Legislature
since the defeat of the original jack
san-5fr, Is merely 4 big graft for the
antitoXin trust. It provides that the
state may buy antitoXin from the
trust to the extent of $1,000 worth
each year, at the trusts W price.
The trust will make sure that ii gets
all of the $1,000 and the people of
the state will be but little better off.
With but a few thousand dollars
added to the $1,000. the stale could
have established a laboratory of its
own, not necessarily build a building.
and could have manufactured the
SERUM and given it away TO all. The
trust, however, would much prefer
TO get $1,000 IA of the state and
continue to do business, than to get
nothing and be put out of business,
as far as New Jersey is concerned. Of
course, if the trust would rather have
it that way, that settles it, as far as

The proprietor of the Hibernia Saw

insurance companies. He was
warned to desist, but didn't, and
the welchers started a run on his
bank with false rumors. The run
was not pleasant, but the bank
stood 1t like a rock All the same,
the other San Francisco banks re-

the east, and the financial situation
as a whole is excellent.

of the insurance companies have
behaved very shabbily toward San

exception, the Connecticut COM
panies were splendid in their be-
haviOr. Their agents were instruct
ed to aid the insured in preparing
their proofs, and to pay up the face
of the policy without even the for
mality of adjustment
Not so the Massachusetts COM
panies. With one exception here,
also, they quibbled and parted. and
did what they could to crawl out
from under.
But conspicuous among the
welching insurance concerns the
Germans stand highest in disgrace.
Piously they declared that the dis

was not for them to intervene be-

would be impious. SO a committee

In the last issue ii the American
Federationist President Gompers
goes after Congressman Jones on
account of his attitude toward bills
advocated by labor liz the last ses-
sion of congress. The reply of Mr..
Jones TO questions asked by the
American Federationist officers are
printed and disected by Mr.. Comp
ers.
In regard to excluding the eight
hour day from the Panama canal
zone, Mr.. Jones said:
Il supported the provision ex,

hour law to Panama and would do
it again. In doing so | believe |

the interests of American labor. |
do not want American labor to go
to that miasmatic and pestilential
country and, for that matter, | do
not believe it would go there, even
If the eight-hour law were appli-
cable"
And again in referring to the
anti-injunction law pending before
congress Mr.. Jones says:
"The presidents position in re-
gard to injunctions Is, in the main,
my own position. It appears that
labor is considerably divided as to
just the kind of legislation neces-
sary in this respect and this divis-
ion emphasizes the necessity for
the members Of congress, whose
duty 1t Is to weigh such a subject
in all its aspects, to consider pro-
posed legislation of this kind most
carefully and to act in accordance
with what they believe will result
In the greatest good to all. ! seri-
ously doubt the wisdom of curtail.
ing the power OF the courts to is
sue injunctions.'
In commenting on the attitude OF
Mr.. Jones, Mr. Gompers says:
because the Panama canal zone
Is as Mr.. Jones says, "mlasmatic
and pestilental country" he voted
to annul the eight hour law in its
application to the construction OF
the greatest public work ever I'M
dertaken by the people OF the
