Attorney General of New State
Declares determination Only
Logical Method of Regulat-
ing MOnOpoIieS,

Guthrie, Okla. Aug. 13.-W O.
Cromwell, attorney general, anticipat-
ing the meeting of the attorney gener-
ais of the Mississippi valley, says the
convention should agree upon "A sys-
TEN of universal laws for fighting
trusts and combinations. In his opin-
ion, this will be done.
Personally, Judge Cromwell holds
to the view that to control a trust IT
must be destroyed. He maintains that
trusts will find some means to get
around regulations. He cites as an
instance the recent action of the rail-
roads i'm raising the lumber rates to
points in neighboring states, after a
suit had been filed with the interstate
commerce commission showing dis
ordinations I'm lumber rates to points
within Oklahoma.
Instead of lowering the Oklahoma
rates, the rates to other states was
raised to accord with that to Okla
homa points.

COMMISSIONER OF LABOR
AT WORK IN CHICAGO
Report that Railroad Operators
Have Been Ordered to Reject
Commercial Messages Gre
ateS CONSERVATION in High
Places.

Washington, Aug. 13.--The general
strike of the commercial telegraphers
i'm the United States and Canada now
seems complete. Boston, the last Of
the big cities to feel the effect Of the
controversy, was tied up this morn
ing by a walkout of the men em-
poyed in both the Postal and Western
Union offices.
Commissioner of Labor Neill is now
in Chicago endeavoring TO find some
basis upon which the warning elc-
ments can be brought together, but
owing to the confusion incident to the
calling of so many strikes in widely
separated sections of the county, and
the high handed attitude OF the tele-
graph companies, very little hope is
expressed that the efforts Of Mr..
Neill will meet with any substantial
success in the immediate future.
The federal government is suf-
fering considerable Inconvenience
through the suspension OF wire COM
munication, the crop reporting bureau
and the weather service being espe-
cially embarrassed
At the headquarters Of the. inter-
state commerce commission the fear
was expressed that the trouble might
spread to the railroads of the country.
1t is known that the order Of Railroad
Photographers strongly sympathize with
their comrades employed by the COM
mercial companies The fact that
thousands of railroad offices handle
messages for the commercial compa-
mics and the report that an order has
been issued from the headquarters Of
the railroad order for its men to re-
fuse to handle these messages, makes
the situation for the railroads cX-
tremely delicate. A clash between
the railroads and their operators at
this time would undoubtedly, II is
pointed out, precipitate strike which
would be unprecedented in the indus-
trial annals of this country
AT the New York headquarters of
the Postal and Western Union cOmpa-
nies II is declared that messages are
being handled with but little delay.
and that many OF the strikers are APP
plying for their old positions on the

that the strikers are standing firm.

Tho 1ondnn 81. lanes Gazette.

From the London st. James Gazette. }
From the horrors of war have come
MANY benefits unexpected at the time.
China will yet come to bless the day that
she was beaten by Japan. The blood and
agony of the civil war made America a
nation. Italian unity had its foundation
in the humiliation of Novara. France
made her way to her rightful place among
the nations from the miseries of Sedan
and the Commune. Wellington used to
consider that the greatness Of modern
British arms owed it's birth to Charles 1,
and the efficacy of naval administration
to James II. For good or ill., it is from
the stricken fields of the Crimea that Rus
sia's present greatness dates. She stood
alone against the world Her eXchequer
was empty, her paper moEey no longer
accepted. The great empire, built up by
such labor and pain. was within measur-
able distance of dissolution Sebastopol
fell Finland and Poland were on the
verge of breaking away; all looked at its
blacklist. The conditions imposed in the
peace treaty were humiliating in the eX-
treme. but one by one Russia slid out of
them. The tremendous development'which
has taken place in Russia dates solely
from that dark hour when all seemed so
nearly lost. To say that right over might
has triumphed would be another matter.
