failure of your late convention on the
joint interstate agreement to come to
a basis of settlement of the bitums

industrial peace for many years.

general welfare of the. country. l
urge you to make a further effort to
avoid such a calamity.
You and Mr.. Robbins are joint
chairmen of the trade agreement cpr1-
mittee of the national civic fedora
ton, and it seems to me that this i'm.
poses additional duty upon you both.

each of you should join in naking a

GOMPERS FOR EIGHT HOURS

a longer work day should NOT apply
in territory under burning sun.
and in a miasmitic atmosphere.
1T is urged that inasmuch, as the
provision referred to applies to alien
laborers, that. therefore, Americans
need not concern themselves. That
however, can have no place in our
consideration. for. in truth then, the
present eight-hour law should not APP
ply to alien laborers who are now en-
pIoyed by the government. or on work
performed for the government of the
United States.
TO enact into law a provision APP
plying to alien workmen that is deem
ed unwise and inhuman for Ameri-
cans, is an exhibition of disregard for
human life. To say that any sort of
men can do more work and better
work in more than eight hours day
than they ca under an eight-hour
work day - flagrantly to fly in the
face. Of every Industrial experience. =

RATE WAR SEEMS CERTAIN.
WALL STREET is TRYING HARD
TO AVERT IT.

Chicago, March G.-Wall street has
taken hand in the differential fight
of the eastern lines. 1t became known
in Zeal railroad circles that financial
interests intimately associated with
the trunk lines are bringing all posi-
bic pressure to bear upon certain rail-
road interests to get them to let the
matter drop for the present. If they
do not succeed in bringing all of the
eastern roads into an amicable agree
ment nothing short Of miracle can
prevent a rate war
On account of the attitude of the
Erie the question of difference be-
tween the Michigan Central and the
Grand Trunk has never been put
squareiy at Issue, but it is stated that
at no time have the officials of the
former road offered to support any
proposition which the Grand Trunk
could accept as a substitute for it's
original proposition to arbitrate the
question as to which roads should be
differential and which should be
standard, and also 10 name the differ
entail and standard fares between
Chicago and New York or Boston.
Railroad officials are inclined to
take dismal view of the situation. 1t
is pointed out that, after giving in
structions to his subordinates to stand
firm against arbitration which should
include the Erie. President Under
wood of that road went to California,
to be as far away as possible from

feeling that the Lake Shore and
Michigan Central do not favor unre-
stricted arbitration adds. to the de-
preston over the situation and the
conviction is growing that war will
open on March 10.

question. involved is the constitutions

ed on several grounds.
First-Because of a defective title,
in that the amended law does not in

Second = Because it does not con

Third-Because it deprives, a per

is claimed that the constitution gives
every man a right Of trial by jury;
that a nuisance proceeding is GRIMM

raised in liquor prosecutions in other
