GREATER CONTROL OF IN
TERSlATE COMMERCE By
The GOVERNMENT.


The tounders OIL the Constitution pro-
yided that the national government should
have complete and sole control OF inter-
state commerce. There was then prae-
ticailY no interstate business, save such
as was conducted by water. and this the
national government at once proceeded to
regulate in thoroughgotng and effective
fashion. Conditions have now so wholly
changed that the interstate commerce BY
water is insignificant compared with tne
amount that goes by land, and almost all
big business concerns are now engaged IN
interstate commerce
"As a result. It can be but partially
and imperfectly controlled or regulated by
the action of any one Of the several
States srch action inevitably tending to
be either too drastic or else too lax. ana
in either case ineffective for purposes OF
Justice Only the national government can
in thorough-going fashion exercise the
needed control
"Thls does not mean that there
should be any extension OF Federal nu-
thority, for such authority already
exists under the Constitution in nmpIest
and most far-reaching form, but II
does mean that there should be an
extension of Federal activity. This -
not advocating Capitalization. II is merely
looking facts ia the face, and realizing
that Capitalization in business has already
come and cannot be avoided or undone, and
that the public at large can only proteck
itself from certain evil effects Of this husi-
ness Capitalization by providing better
methods for the exercise OF control through
the authority already centralized IN the
national government by the Constitution
itself.
'.There must be no matt IN the naeilny
constructive course OF action which this
nation has elected to pursue, and has
steadily gdrsued. during the last six yeef5.

Strike Ties Up Indian Railroad.

CALCUTTA, November 21.-Trafic on
the East Indian railway, 2,1G5 miles long
and the second largest line in India. is
rapidly becoming paralyzed by strike.
The trouble originated with the engi-
neers, who are almost entirely Euro
pean, and Tuesday and Wednesday great
numbers of natives belonging to the traf-
fc staff Joined in the movement. The
most important section of the road, from
Calcutta to Allahabad. is practically tied
up, and already 5000 passengers are
stranded at Asanol, Bengal, the junction
of the East Indian and Bengal-Magpur
railroad, where the strikers are threat
ening violence. Reports are constantly
coming in of engineers leaving their trains
at remote stations, and in some cases
driving off with their locomotives and
leaving the cars. The jute mills are
seriously affected by the railroad strike.
They have been obliged to stop work in
consequence of the shortage of coal. and
it is feared that the tie-up will delay
loading outward-bound ships The strikers
complain of overwork and poor pay.

LEWIS OUTPOINTED
BY JACK BLACKBURN

PHILADELPHIA, November 21.-Jack
Blackburn outpointed Harry Lewis in
their six-round bout at the National A.
c. in this city last night. Throughout
the fight Blackburn was the cleverer
boxer, but at times Lewis more than he'd
his own. At the end the negro was the
stronger, and had decision been given it
would have favored Blackburn.
A large crowd witnessed the battle, and
when the bell sounded at the beginning
of the first round Of the star bout the
old skating rink was crowded to it's fullest
capacity. About $3.50 spectators filled
the seats and crowded the corridors of the
club, but the audience was the most Or
derby one that ever saw a fight in this
city.
The contest was purely a boxing affair
1t could hardly be called fight. Both
of the principals were clever. and neither
landed any real damaging blows Black
burns punches seemed to carry the most
steam, but Lewis took them and came
back for more, which he invariably re-
ceived.
Lewis was the first to enter the ring.
Bailey, Frank O'Brien, Jack Diamond
and Joe Crimson. A few moments later
Blackburn climbed through the ropes, &C.
companied by his seconds, Billy Reynolds,
Fred Blackburn, Kid Terrill and Jack
Cotton.
Jack McGuigan, the referee, announced
that the men weighed less than 40
pounds, were to box at catch weights and
that q clean break would be enforced
The bellNsounded and the fight was on.
Lewis was the first to lead, and he land
ed light left to the wind. Blackburn
landed two lefts to the face and they ex-
changed lefts to the body All through
this round the men depended mainly on
their lefts and it was only at the end of
the round that they essayed right leads.
The second round was Blackburn's. He
landed some stiff left jabs and hooks and
sent his right across with goed-sfect sew
eral times. Lewis still depended upon his
left, but Blackburn was not bothered by
his blows, and boxed as II he were punch
ing q bag.
The third round was sparring exhibit
ton with honors about even. Lewis took
brace In the fourth round. and the men
boxed rapidly. Lewis showed some clever
blocking and footwork, and had q shade
the better Of the round.
Blackburn again assumed the lead in
the fifth round, and he landed so often
| on Lewis that he made his opponent look
| like novice.
The sixth round was succession of
exchanges of left and right jabs and
was even. At the end Blackburn had q
| shade the better Of the contest on points,
but neither man was much hurt.
