of the building trades is threatened as
the result of the employment on the
new Bank of San Jose building of non
union structural iron workers The
carpenters refuse to work with them
and declare that they may call walk
out on all the building enterprises in
the city
The contractors claim that they are
unable to obtain union men for the
iron work and profess Willingness to
employ them If they could be secured
The refusal to stop work on account
OF the demands of the carpenters is
emphatic, however
The San Jose Bank building is one of
the most important building operations
in San Jose. The structure is located
at the corner of the two main business
streets. An effort will be made to
secure an amicable adjustment of the
trouble, but there appears at the pres
ent time to be very strong proba-
bility that this cannot be accomplished

EARL EXPLAINS
Says Mistake Was Made in the Anti
Grade Bill

OAKLAND. Feb. 23.-The following
statement was made today by ex-
Senator Guy c. Earl, regarding the
antigrade railroad crossing BILL
The facts are these: Recently l was asked to
draw amendment to section 1240 OF the Code
of Ciyi Procedure. That section specifics what
property be condemned for public use. By
that section the land of every owner is in
cluded. Even the land belonging to the State
Is included. My amendment added to the sec
tion provision subjecting to eminent domain
land Of the United States other than lands held
for Government buildings, forts or military pur-
poses. When / drew the bill / used an edition
of the Code published in 1903, and my bill ex-
actly reproduced the section which was amend
ing as 1t appears in that edition. To that Sec
tion as 1t there read l added the new pro
vision. supposing the section was correctly set
forth In the Code l used
l was unaware that the section had been
amended in 1905 by adding provision for over
head and underhead railroad crossings I did
not intend to omit anything from the section
as 1t existed On the contrary, my sole purpose
was TO have the law just 1t reads today
without any change whatever. except to add
new provision on another matter. When I gave
the proposed bill to Senator Leavitt a week
ago supposed that the bill contained the exact
reading of the present law, with the addition
OF the new matter OF my amendment and did
not know OF the mistake until last evening I
regret that the error has occurred, and partic-
ulariy so because Senator Leavitt caused

gJPRfMEiCOURT TO DECIDE ISSUE

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 80. (Spec-
nall Pending a final decision of the
ghage supreme court on the constitu-
aionality of the two cent fare act, it
is believed that all the leading rail
roads Of the state will establish a
lat two cent fare tomorrow, the date
set for the law to become effective.
While the roads are cOnfidentthat

With the handing down of the opin7
zpn OF the supreme court the roads
will then be in a position to restore

vided the decision is favorable to
t11em.
The Pennsylvania was the first
road to attack the law, bringing a
sgnic in the local courts to restrain

Iecting the fine for violating the pro-
vision of the act The hearing in the
case lasted nearly a week, and among
tie witnesses were President McCrea,
aud several of the vice presidents of

the road.
The contention Of the company
was that the law was unconstitution-
al, and that the two cent fare was
fixed by the state legislature without
any investigation as to whether the
railroads could make a fair profit UNI
der the law, which the company as
serts it cannot do
The decision of the court, which
will become of national Importance
if sustained by the supreme court,
sustains the contention that two
cents fare is unreasonable and grants
the injunction asked for.
Among the reasons stated by the
court as to why the law is objection
able on constitutional grounds are
the following:
"As a regulation of the plaintiffs
interstate passenger business in its
entirety, the act under existing cir
cumstances is unreasonable and con-
fscatory,, and by depriving the plain
tiff of its property without the pro-
cess of law, violates amendment
XIV. of the constitution of the United
States.
Since the taking from the plain
tiff Of the profitable use of its prop
erty invested in the intrastate pas
senger business may be regarded as
a taking of that property
for public purposes, and since no just
compensation is made therefore, the
act violates article l section 10, of
the constitution of Pennsylvania"
The state officials will make a de-
termined fight in the supreme court
to have this decision reversed, and
are hopeful Of success. A decision
in favor of the roads, it is believed
would do much to prevent the estab-
lishment of two cent fares in other
and less populous states.
