WE notice that several of the courts
have decided that trusts cannot collect
debts due them because, being organic
ed to restrict trade, they are illegal
combinations without standing before
the law. This seems to hit the frauds
right where they live. 1t will force
them to either quit entirely or do bust
nes1 On a strictly cash basis. Perhaps
these judges have found the real solu-
ton of the trust problem.

Milwaukee, News
The bill TO limit the hours of railway
employees introduced by Senator LaFol-
lette has passed the senate virtually
without opposition only one senator
voting against it, There is little quest
ion that the bill will receive favorable
consideration at the hands of represent
atves ami with the president S approval
become Il law
AS it passed the senate, the bill pro
vides that railway employees engaged in
the operation of trains shall not be en-
ployed at continuous labor for more
than sixteen hours. In case of delays,
where train crews unavoidably are
kept in longer service than the limit
provided by the measure, exception is
made. The purpose of the law is to pre-
vent the sending out of Il train crew
without ample time for rest and sleep
between runs.
The original bill was initiated by the
railway employees organizations and in
troduced in the senate by Mr.. LaFol-
lette. 1t was so mangled by amendment
that Senator LaF'ollette withdrew it
and introduced substitute measure,
the bill which the senate has passed.
With their own lives threatened every
time that they journey to and from the
capital through negligence of overwork-
ed employees, senators that are disposed
to share the adherence Of "the inter-
ests" 10 governmental Interference
with railway management found it ex-
pedient to Join in voting for the bill
The bin is a ,neritorious measure and
it is likely to be followed by more legis-
lation in the interests Of public safety

as tllmsy excuse TO gush over Mr..
