Knoxville Sentinel: East Birmingham has just voted to become a part Of the Greater Birmingham that is being formu- lated in advance of the federal census of 1910. Birmingham, Atlanta and other southern cities are setting examples which should be emulated by Knoxville. The local city limits should be extended to in clude all populated suburban sections that are properly part of Knoxville. This city will be done a very great in justice if the next federal census does not include as its population the entire old city and its satellites. If. however, the failure occurs, Knoxville alone will be to blame.
 Knoxville Journal and Tribune: When any of the newspapers or of the people in Tennessee cities in which the liquor traffic still exists poke fun at Knoxville, Birmingham, Atlanta and other 'dry cities, 1t is not done as warning to the .'dry'' towns-it is for home consumption. It is the old, old story: money makes the mare go. Take Chattanooga, for ln-
 
 hama. and of Knoxville and all of East Tennessee. save LaFollette, is harvest for wet goods in Chattanooga. Not great many will come right out and say so in so many words, but there are great many who take into consideration the fact that in the jug trade in the dry localities Chattanooga has large revenue. The liquor business there is paying into the treasury of the city thousands of dol lars: it is a revenue that furnishes Chat tanooga a bountiful treasury. Not only there but elsewhere many look upon tax ation as a burden. and if the liquor traf- fic makes it lighter. it is not hard for good many people to persuade themselves it is not wrong. And what is said of Chattanooga applies with equal force to Nashville and to Memphis.

of the railroads have fallen off to the
extent that is generally believed. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
now calls upon the carriers subject
to the act to regulate commerce for
monthly reports of their revenues
and operating expenses. Such re-
ports began with the month of July
last, and have the figures compiled
by Prof. Henry C. Adams, our sta
tistican, as to number of systems
which may be taken as representa-
tive of the railroad systems of the
entire country. These systems are:
New York, New Haven & Hart
ford; New York Central; Baltimore
& Ohio; Pennsylvania, east and west
of Pittsburgh; Southern Railway;
Rock Island; Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fee; Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul; Northwestern; Southern
Pacific; Northern Pacific; Great
Northern.
During the three months, July,
August and September, the total op.
Grating revenues of these roads
amounted to $399,000,O0O; for the
panic months of October, November
and December the total revenue was
S376,000,000. The freight revenues
of the systems named were, for the
first quarter, $264,00O,0 900, and for
the second quarter $259, 0O0, 900.
The freight revenues for Novem-
Der were larger than those for July
Or September.
These systems during the last six
months Of 1907 received from pas
senger and freight revenues a grand
total Of $775,000, 600, which is s54,.
100000 more than they received for
the same period in the preceding
year, 1906; and their net income
from operation in 1907 was $14,-
100000 more than in 1906. These
figures certainly do not indicate that
either owing to legislation or the
panic, the railroads of the country
as q whole have been put in finan-
cial jeopardy. 1t is true that during
1907 there was great Increase in
operating expenses owing to general
increases in wages, but, allowing for
such increase, the larger volume of
traffic and greater revenue derived

as well be abandoned, and the in
ferior federal courts be placed in
charge OF all state affairs. AS stated
by Justice Harlan in his dissenting
opinion, If an injunction can be up-
held in this case, it can also be used
to prevent the grand juries from
indictments against any persons who
violate any criminal law in the
state.
There seems now to be but one
resource and that lies in the rec
omendation by the convention of at
torny's general last fall in st. Louis.
A law should be passed by congress
taking away from the inferior feder-
al courts Jurisdiction in cases where
corporations attempt by injunction
to prevent the enforcement Of legiti-
mate state laws. The question of the
validity Of our rate laws was not be-
fore the court in this habeas corpus
case. The only question was as to
the Jurisdiction of the federal court
to enjoin the state. AS soon as we
can get the whole decision we will
decide what steps should be taken
here for the protection Of the rights

Injunction Against Federation
OF Labor in Bucks Case
Confirmed

pany Alone

Washington, D. c., March 23.-
The temporary injunction recently
issued against the American Fedora
tion of Labor by Justice Gould of
the district supreme court in favor
of the Bucks Stove and Range Co.,
was today made perpetual by Chief
Justice Clabaugh. >
The injunction effectually restraints
the American Federation of Labor
from in any manner interfering with
the business of the Buck Stove and
Range Co. The costs of the proceed
ing were taxed to the Federation of
Labor.
When the case came up today for
final hearing the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS announced that they had
determined not to take up the time
of the court in hearing the volumi-
nous testimony taken in the case and
would submit to the decree against
them. They entered an appeal from
the decree, saying they still thought
their action to be within their legal
rights.
This course was taken, it is under
stood, in view of the fact that the
testimony taken substantially bears
out the charges made in the affidavits
in support of the Buck Stove and
Range Co.'S. application for tempo
rary injunction. AS Justice Gould
held those facts sufficient to warrant
the injunction of the court it was
not thought likely the chief justice
would OF errule that decision.
This action will expedite the
hearing of the case in the appellate
court, although it is not expected
the case can be reached in the cal
endar of the court of appeals until
next fall.
By the decree these defendants
are perpetually restrained and en-
Joined from conspiring, agreeing or
combining in any manner to restrain,

Although the returns to the COM
mission for January have not yet
been tabulated, it is probable that
they will show that conditions have
been worse than in December; but
this is also to be borne in mind, that
the month of January is generally the
siackest month during the year, and
February is also poor. There are no
doubt, individual instances in which
the revenues of roads have seriously
declined the past three months over
corresponding periods for several
years past; but there are also indivi-
dual instances in which, singular to
say, the last three months have been
as good as any corresponding three
months in other years, and in one
case, the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation Co., the commission had been
officially informed that the past three
months have been the best in the
roads entire history.
There can be no question but
that within the past three weeks
there has been strong upward ten
dency in freight revenues. A great.
