ident of the Union Refrigerator Com
pany of Milwaukee. against the Me
Clure company. publishers. for alleged
libel, was begun. Phillips asks $780,
900 damages which he claims to be
sustained thru the publication in Nc
Cures magazine in November, De-
cember and January of 1905 and 1906,
of a story charging him with accept
ing rebates from certain railroads. The
objectionable matter was printed in a
series of articles from the pen of Ray
Stannard Baker. who had written scv-
eral articles concerning corporation af-
batting in particular.
The charge came in connection with
a report to the then governor of Wis
consin. now Senator La Toilette. of ,he
state railway commission. 1t was sd 4
in the court room -oday that it is not
unlikely that La Toilette may be called
as witness in the ease. In that evens.
it is expected that he will be ques-
toned at length along lines which may
bring out some obscure details of his
fight against the railroads when he was
governor of Wisconsin.
