HATTERS ANXIOUS
THOSE IN ESSEX WANT TO
AVOID STRIKE.
Await Outcome of Second Conference
with Manufacturers to Be Held
in Danbury.

Notwithstanding the talk of a hatters'
strike, because some Of the manufacturers
refuse to continue using the union label
unless the hat makers make some conces-
sions, the Newark matters feel that con-
ditions do not warrant a strike at pres
.ent, as 1t Is believed that the difficulty
will be amicably adjusted.
The maBsfacturers, after one futile New
York conference with the United Hatters
of North America, decided to call a meet
ing of all the members of the association
for tomorrow night at Danbury, Conn.,,
where they will have a banquet and dis
cuss business afterward and decide what
steps to take. Invitations nave been ex-
tended to all hat manufacturers Who nre
not members of the association. The
executive board of the United Hatters of
North America will also meet In Danbury
tomorrow morning, and will be ready to
meet the manufacturers in the evening, If
a conference Is desired. One of the NOM
bers of the executive board of the matters,
a Newarker, said today that he did not be-
lieve that the trouble was of such a nature
that 1t could be settled in an amicable
way, and he felt hopeful that 1t would be
adjusted in a day or so.
A~ssemblyman Daniel J. Brady, who is
a member Of the executive board of the
United Hatters, will leave for Cincinnati
tonight to attend to organization matters
there. 1t was said today that II there was
a strike 1t would not be so extensive as
has been said, because many of the hat
manufacturer are not members of the
association.

OPTIMISTIC
SAYSS0UEEZING RAILROADS
Is WRONG.
Justice of U. S. Supreme Court Thinks
There Is Just as Much Religion
Now as There Used to Be.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, July 1S.-Justice
Brewer. of the United States Supreme
Court, last night threw a large handful or
optimism TO those who see only pad IN
railroads and many other things. In an
address before the annual meeting OF the
agents of the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of which company he

There is much said about the rail-
roads" said Justice Brewer. 1T Is a
popular practise 20 say that they are very
wicked; for instance, like life insurance
companies. There has been a great deal
of wrong. such as granting Of special
favors, bad stock specElations and the ike.
But 1 say TO you that. taking the arnings
and the money invested in railroads as a
whole, there is not a fair return on the
money invested. The attempt to squsaze
these who built up the railroads, and
through thema the country, is not right.
The men who invested their money are
e entitled to a reasonable rate of interest.

carrying freight and passengers. VIII the

Justice Brewer held that the rights of
the railroads should be projected until the
demonstrated that the railroads can
be made to net a reasonable income.
Discussing land frauds, Justice Brewer
that much of what is reported as
in Western land dealings is not at
wrong. He cited the fact that the

THE T T MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 1S.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices to
a decline of 4 points, which was just about
as due on the cables. There was some
buying on theory that leading bears were
trying to cover, but the weather mar made
a favorable showing and prices here
sagged off slightly after the opening. un-
der scattered realizing by recent buyers
and pressure from bearish sources, which
may have been promoted to some extent
by expectations of bearish condition report
from private authority at midday. Dur
ing the middle of the morning prices
were a point or two up from the lowest
at a net decline of 8 to 5 points.
The market was weak during the late
forenoon and prices were at o the
lowest at midday, or II to IA points under
the closing figures OF last night on active
months. Liquidation by recent buyers
and pressure from leading bear interests
caused the setback from the high point
of the morning.

NEW YORK. July 1S.-Openlng prices

EXPLAINS IMMUNITY
KNAPP TALKS OF FAILURE
TO PROSECUTE HARTMAN.

SYRACUSE, July 1s.-Martin A. Knapp,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, last night consented to mmen
on the commissions report on Hartman
and tell why 1t was not possible or wise for
the commission to go any further than 1t
did. Criminal prosecution of Mr.. Harri-
man, he said, was out of the question, as
he had gained immunity by being called as
a witness. The duty of the commission. he
said, was simply to ascertain the facts.
''The report of the commission in the So
called investigation" said Mr.. Knapp, twas
intended to present In an orderly and read
able form the principal facts disclosed. 1t
seems unnecessary to characterize these
facts, because they carry their own COM
ment. Their significance is the general pol
icy disclosed and the common purpose
which connects the different transactions,
That purpose is mainly accomplished, as
will be seen, through the purchase by one
railroad of the securities of other railroads
and steamship lines, the purchasing road
securing the necessary funds by selling its
own obligations.
1.-The extent to which this method has
been employed is indicated by the enor-
nous mileage virtually controlled, by the
Union Pacific. That company in addi-
ton to the capitalization, which repre-
sents its, cerryln plant and. equipment.
has issued and sod securities to the
amount of about $1SOy0Oo. 900 and has used
all that vast sum In buying the securities
Of other companies. About seventy mill
ions was paid for the Southern Pacific
and the balance for the Illinois Central,
the Atchison, the Baltimore and Ohio. the
Chicago and Alton, the New York Central
Ind other roads.
What l heve just said applies to crim~>
prosecution as well as civil procedure.
W neither any Of these transactions were
la violation of the criminal provisions of
the antitrust law, 1t is doubtless true
that Mr.. Hartman secured immunity by
being called as a witness. This matter
was carefully considered by the commits
sion and 1t seemed plain that it was more
Important to develop and expose the actual
and there appeared to be no way
to get to the bottom of some of these
transactions except by putting Mr.. Harri-
man on the stand.
Moreover, ne was called as a witness in
Northern Securities case some years
ago and his examination then covered
to some extent the Southern Pacific pur-
chase. The immunity statute is very
broad. to say nothing of the statute of
limitation. These things being SO 1t seems
to be conceded on all sides that there was
no ground for criminal prosecution"

that he could have nothing of the sort,

The government Inspector refused to go,

Then the head of the concern. changed
his tactics and became all courtesy and
