DENIES THE PETITION

pany, in which the state seeks to compel
the railroad company to observe the intra-
state rate law enacted by its last Iegisla-
ture. The question Of jurisdiction be-
tween the state and the federal courts is
involved as in the North Carolina rate
cases.
The case was begun in the supreme
court of Nebraska. but before 1t could be
decided by that tribunal 1t was removed
to the United States Circuit Court, in
which the two district judges were sitting
The states demand for the return OF the
case is based upon the plea that unless

having itself refused to send it back, will
compel the state either to abandon its
suit in its own name or to proceed to a
trial on the merits Of the case in the fed
eral circuit court where all the proceed
ings and orders will be absolutely null and
void for want Of Jurisdiction" The Su-
preme Court issued an order directing the
two judges to appear January 6 and show
cause why the petition for mandamus
should not be granted.
Texas and the Oil Trust.
At the instance Of counsel for the Wa
ters-Pierce Oil Company. the court today
issued an order for a stay Of proceedings
in the suit between the state Of Texas and
the oil company until the court can de-
eide whether it will grant the company's
petition for a WRIT OF certiorari bringing
the suit to that court for review.
The case involves the complicated action
Of the state to enforce its antitrust law
under which the company was fined ST.
eco. 900, and in the process Of which re-
ceivers were appointed by both thes fed.
eral and the state courts. The proceed
ing in connection with which todays
order was issued was instituted in the
United States circuit court for the eastern
district Of Texas by Bradley w. Palmer
a stakeholder in the Oil company, and was
a friendly petition for the appointment OF
a receiver to prevent the destruction OF
the company's business under the decree
Of the state court. The circuit court
granted the petition. and appointed Ches-
ter B. Dorchester, but the United States
circuit court of appeals reversed that
order on the ground that the state courts
had named Robert ]. Eckhardt as re-
ceiver.
Tho company then filed it's petition in
the Supreme Court for the removal Of the
case, and today's order merely directs
that the status quo be maintained until
the petition can be investigated and a
decision reached.

Chilean Minister Surprised.

At the Chilean legation, Mr.. Cruz, the
minister, was very much surprised to
hear Of the tragic outcome of the strike
troubles at Iquique. as he had confidently
believed that the differences between the
strikers and the mine owners would be
compromised very soon. The differences.
he explained, are of an economic char
acter The products of the mines are
sold on the basis of English exchange.
Chilean currency has deprecated. and the
miners have suffered accordingly. while
the prices of the necessities of life have
increased. The efforts toward settle
ment Of the differences have been in the
direction of a rate of wages on the basis
of a fixed value of exchange. No ad-
vices have reached the legation regard
ing recent events.

200 LAbORERS SLAIN
Tragic Result of the Strike in
Chile.
ADvICES RECEIVED HERE
Came to Coast From Interior and Re-
fused to Dispense When Ordered.
TROUBLE ECONOMIC AT FIRST
Took ON Political Phase and Nut
terings of Revolutionary Purpose
on Labor Leaders Part.

Two hundred laborers in the nitrate
works in Chile have been killed by ma
chine guns in the hands Of Chilean troops.
according to advces to the State Depart
ment from an American representative in
Chile. The laborers came to the coast
from the interior of the country and re-
fused to dispense at the command of the
military authorities.
The State Department has been kept in
formed of the progress of this labor dis
pute since the middle of the present
month. and while 1t was not expected that
the strike would have the tragic outcome
recorded today, It was known that serious
trouble was threatened for the past fort
night At that time it was stated that the
laborers from the interior had come to
Iquique and taken possession of the port.
and that they were to be followed to the
coast by many other thousands of discon-
tented workers.
The trouble appeared to be economic
in the beginning, but 1t had rapidly
taken on a political phase. and there
were mutterings of revolutionary
No American Interests Involved.
An investigation satisfied the officials
Of the State Department that no Amer
lean interests were involved in this
disturbance. so far as could be ascer-
tanned The Chilean government leases
the privilege of working the nitrate de-
posts to companies, and while those
are generally foreign corporations none
of them is American. Germans, British
and French are understood 20 be the
principal nationalities represented in
the companies. The labor. on the other
hand. is made up altogether OF the ma,
tive Chilean population. and. while usu-
ally tractable, is very determined
element when aroused
In subordinate capacities above the
grade Of common laborers and usually
employed as superintendents are some
American citizens. but just how many OF
these are in the nitrate country Is not
known. One of the objects of the recent
attempt of the State Department to Sc
cans abroad was to place 1t in possession
of information which would be useful in
Just such an emergency as the present one
in Chile Fora time the department has
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of dispatching
a naval vessel to Chilean waters to watch
for DEVELOPMENTS that might in the end
affect American interests, but 1t had been
decided not to do SO, as the movement
might not be welcome to the Chilean gov
eminent. Now that Admiral Sebrees two
cruisers have passed up the coast and are
in Mexican waters the Navy Department
has nothing nearer to Chile than the gun
boat Albany, at Panama, and she would
be of little service, owing to her small
