LIABILITY ACT IS UPHELD
Judge speer Rules that Federal Law to
Protect Railroad Employees is Valid
SAYS POWER OF CONGRESS IS BROAD
Right TO Control Interstate Commerce
Coextensive with that to Reg
uIate Traffic on High
Seas.
SAYS POWER OF CONGRESS is BROAD

MACON, Ga, March 25.-United States
Judge Emory Speer today in a decision In
the case of Lucy snead, administrative,
against the Central of Georgia Railway
company, upheld the constitutionality Of
the employers liability act, passed by the
last congress. This decision is opposed to
those of United States Judge Evans at
Louisville and Judge Mccall at Memphis
who declared the act repugnant to the con-
stitution OF the United States.
Nudge Speer declared that to command
to prohibit and to protect men engaged in
the handling of commerce, whether inter-
state or foreign. is within the domain Of
national legislation Congress having the
right to control commerce on the high
seas, as established by the courts repeat
eddy, It follows that It has the right TO
control the same kind Of commerce on
land. The creation Of the Interstate Com
merce commission, the acts against ar
bitrary and discriminating rates, the adop.
ton OF the antitrust law, forbidding COM
blnations in restraint of trade. held d.
rectly applicable to railroads, even though
chartered by states, the law denouncing
rebates and forbidding passes IN interstate
| traffic are quoted as illustrations of the
power Of congress to control such matters,
The decision points out that no injury
| can result to corporations or to any useful
or valuable power of the state by this ma
tionaI legislation. The act is no deprivation
to the corporations of due process of law.
Their cases are triable in courts prescribed
by the constitution. The act does not de-
prive the plaintiff of power to sue in the

$4,000 for the installation OF the plant and
$4,000 to got It started. The committee of
the whole reported the bill back for in
definite postponement and Quackenbush of
Nemaha made q fight to have It recon-
mended for passage. Hansen of Merrick
who has been rather quiet during the ses-
sion, opposed the bill vigorously and said
he had handled penitentiary Irvine and It
was not satisfactory. A great many of the
fusionists lined up for the bill, and several
republicans but in the committee of the
whole IL was recommended for indefinite
postponement. and the house on roll call
sustained the committee. The Omaha Deaf
and Dumb institute got its $4,000 for a
gymnasium building, though several of the
members seriously objected.
When the senate anti-pass bill comes ub
in the house In the morning an amendment
will be offered to provide that no railroad
shall issue pass 70 any lawyer. doctor OF
political agent Of any railroad. The lawyer
doctor provision has been the one stumbling
block in the way of getting the anti-pass
bill reported favorably. The house has not
figured out how these classes OF men can
be shut out of riding on passes and II
seems to be the general belief that the
lawyers and the doctors employed by the
railroads are the men the state convention
was really after when it adopted the anti
pass plank. Whether such an amendment
will carry cannot be said at this time,

the possibility Of further small failures
before the end of the settlement is not
excluded the general belief is that the
worst is over.
There is absolutely no danger" was the
reply Of Lord Rothschild when questioned
today by the Associated Press agent in re-
spoct to the fears that the Stock exchange
settlement would result in trouble.
There may be a few small failures
Lord Rothschild continued. but the re-
port that big financial house is in diff
cultles or serious troubles are anticipated
are mere inventions. The London holders
OF American securities have been induced
to sell through fear that President Roose-
welt contemplates taking steps toward ma
tlonaIizing the railroads, or at least enact
ing legislation that may curtail the roads
earning capacities.
For the same reason some German hold
ers of American securities have been cell
ing in London. Then, of course there are
great demands for money from all points,
but have every confidence in the ability
of the market to bridge the difficulties.
One thing is certain, there is no panic and
there is no danger of a panic in London"

CRISIS in WAGE QUESTION
Trninmen and Conductors Vote TO
Strike Unless Demands Are
Granted.

CHICAGO, March "a crisis has been
reached on the negotiations between the
railroads throughout the west and their
employees over the wage question and ut is
up to the general managers" according TO
representatives. of the $1,000 trainmen who
have voted to strike unless their demands
are granted. The reply Of the general
managers to this sentiment is, I'VE have
conceded all we can"
Tomorrow morning both sides will meet
in conference and unless there is back
down the most gigantic strike in the his
tory of transportation in this country APP
pears imminent. Forty railroads with a
trackage of $1,000 miles and an annual pay
roll of $500, 10000 are standing together on
the proposition. These systems represent
one-third of the railroad business OF the
country. Opposed to this aggregation of
capital stands the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen with a membership Of 10000 and
the Order OF Railway Conductors with a
membership OF $1,000 The men demand an
increase OF 1914 per cent and worf'~g day
of nine hours. The general manage have
offered 10 per cent increase without the
nine-hour workday.
The work OF counting the ballots cast
by the men on the question OF accepting
the concessions of the general managers OF
calling a strike was completed at midnight
tonight. The official figures will be an
nounced tomorrow when the men meet with
the general managers, but IT Is said that
nearly 90 per cent Of the men voted in favor
of strike.
II is declared in story printed in the
Evening Post that in case a strike is or
dered by the Brotherhood Of Railway Con-
ductoTs, as the result of negotiations now
pending with the railroads for shorter hours
and increased pay, that the conductors OF
the Chicago & Northwestern railway will
refuse to go out 1t is also asserted that
the conductors on other roads viii also
remain at work.
1t is said by the Post that Grand Chief
GaTrettson has admitted that the North
western conductors will not go out, but
denies that the men on any other line will
decline to obey the mandate of the orgapi-
cation in case strike is ordered
