WORRIED OVER DECISION.
Judge Evans Ruling In BIaekIistIng
Case Is Not ReIisbed.

Considerable Uneasiness in government
circles was caused here yesterday by
telegram from Louisville. KY. announc-
ing that United States District Judge
Walter Evans had sustained demurrer
raised IN an interstate commerce case
alleging the blackllsting Of railroad en-
ployes.
Embarrassment and long delays In pros
ecuting other cases where railroads are
involved is feared because Of this de-
cision Even though those laws be en-
tiTely sound. the government cannot
easily carry cases before the Supreme
Court because there is no law allowing
the government TO appeal ia criminal
prosecutions.
Because of this there is almost as much
resentment against Judge Evans as there
was a few months ago against District
Judge Humphrey for his beef trust de-
cisiOn. The railroads are now preparing
TO bring a case under the employees La
bility act before Judge Evans and the
government is preparing 70 intervene.
There is also "A feeling that these pro-
ceedings are foreruners Of a general as
saut by railroads Of the cOnstitutionality
OF nearly all Federal legislation affecting
interstate commerce and that the next
two years will witness titanic struggle
IN the courts.

A conference was held between the
officers of the bank and the Comptroller
early yesterday morning. and IL was after
this discussion of the banks affairs that
steps were taken TO get together "A suffi-
