should proceed to the mines and make
a thorough report AS to the actual
damage done and whether it was like
ly to increase. =
This step of the president had the
effect of increasing the alarm OF, the
trust people, who expected to dispose
of the whole matter at a conference
with the president Saturday.
Department officials who talked on
the subject yesterday said that the
case was very plain one and no
court could fail to sustain bill in
equity when filed by the department.
It is because of the determination
of the government to proceed at once
with its strong hand that the mine
owners and smelters are afraid that
an injunction would either cause
grave and expensive changes in their
ways of doing business, or restrict
their output, which would cause a
loss running up into the millions. A
big fight is therefore expected when
the bill in equity is filed.
The ability of the trust to fight the
government is only measured by its
money, which is practically unlimited.
If the smelters are actually closed
down from 10000 to $4,000 men will
be thrown out of work and the output
of the company Immensely decreased

 This announcement, which came from the general offices of the rail- road in this city, shows that the New Haven Is quite able financially to weather the recent slowing up in its freight and passenger business during the past few months. While other lines in the east, west and south have been forced to cut their dividend pay ments, the New Haven is still strong enough to pay dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. year
 Although there were some financiers who had thoughts of a reduction by the New Haven, the majority of stockholders had faith in its ability to pay the usual rate, and the Judgment of the latter has been shown to be very good, in this particular at least

Taft and the Judges.

In his speech at South Bend,
Ind, on September 2Sth, Govern
or Hughes. speaking of the United
States Supreme Court, said:
"Now in the course of the next
few years, in the course of very
short time, according to proba-
bilities of human life, there will
be four vacancies on that bench.
There are nine judges. There
Will be four vacancies shortly and
it is not impossible or even i'm.
probable that there will be others
during sssain istration of the
President. The character of the
next President, his Judgment, his
opportunity for properly choosing
wisely in connection with the fill
ing of those vacancies. is of the
most serious import to the future
policy of this country, and the
course of its development. If You
look from Maine to California.
you will find none better qualified
to make that selection than Will
liam Howard Taftsu.a s
1t is just as well for working
ing men to bear in mind what
Governor Hughes says about the
appointment of United States Su-
preme Court judges.
They ought not to forget, in
this connection. that when Taft
was a federal judge in Ohio he
gave labor the worst of it in everv
decision. 1t was Taft, the Judge.
who referred to union railroad
men as "a band of conspiratorsn
and who denied to railroad men
the right to refuse to work.
In view of his record as a Judge,
therefore, there is no particular
reason why workingman should be
anxions to give him the power of
appointing four judges of the
United States Supreme Court.
