UNFAIR FIRMS TO
ASK FOR RELIEF
WILL PETITION PRESIDENT To
ENFORCE LAW AGAINST BOY
II CoTTING UNIONS
FEDERATION OF LABOR STANDS
GRAVE CHANCE OF BE-
ING RUINED.

Washington, Feb. 10.-One result Of
the anti-boycott decision Of the fed
erat supreme court is that move
ment has already been started for
the purpose of urging manufacturer
who are represented on the unfair
list" of the American federation of
labor to petition President Roosevelt
for relief. Daniel Davenport, an at
torney for LoeWe & Company, of
Danbury, Conn, the complainant in
the case decided, is authority for the
statement that the matter will be
brought to the presidents attention
He points to the paragraph in the
recent special message to congress,
in which the president declared that
he would enforce the law against la
Dor unions as quickly as against
corporations.
The section of the Sherman anti
trust act that provides for the collec-
ton of three times the amount OF
damages sustained by the victim OF
an unlawful conspiracy in restraint
Of trade is now declared to be valid
by the highest tribunal and will re-
main SO until congress shall repeal
it. In the opinion of counsel for the
complainant damages could be OBJ
tanned from the American federation
of labor by every one of the hundred
firms whose names appear On the fed
erations "bIack list"
President Gompers declines 10 dis
cuss the decision or to indicate his
future line of action. 1t is considered
likely that the energies of the lead
ers of organized labor will now be
concentrated in a determined effort
to secure a repeal of the section OF
the statute upon which the decision
was based.
Should the law as interpreted by
the supreme court be enforced to It's
limit against the American federation
Of labor, that organization would be
well nigh ruined. In the Danbury
case alone damages amounting t.
$4,000 were claimed against the hat
ters' union and, pending it's adiudica

MUSKRATS HARM
HENNEPIN CANAL
RODENTS BEING KILLED BY HUN
DREDS, YET THE BURRoW-
ING CONTINUES.
WHEN WATER GETS LOW BANKS
CONCURRENTLY BECOME
HONEY-CCMBED.

Bloomington, ILL.,. Feb. 10.-Musll-
rats are becoming a serious menace
to the recently completed Hennepin
canal Attaches have killed thous-
ands since the channel was completed
last fall, but it appears to be impos-
sible to keep them away. If the level
of the water can be kept within two
feet Of the top Of the bank, the ami
mails are not annoying The danger
comes when the level is lowered for
any reason and the banks are honey
combed by these pests. When the
water again rises the banks thus
weakened and undermined, give way
and the surrounding land is flooded.
Fully $150,000 will be expended dur
ing the first year in maintenance OF
the canal. Guards are being kept in
constant service patrolIing the banks
for fear that breaks viii occur. This
danger neCessitates the most constant
and faithful patrol duty from one end
of the canal to the other.
Many projects for the use of the
ditch for shipping purposes during
the coming year are under way. A
company at Sterling has applied for
permission to construct wheat eleya-
tors on the banks at that point the
grain to be loaded into craft plying
on the canal. The promoters OF these
elevators claim that their intention Is
to pay more for grain at Sterling than
competitors who ship by rail, claim
ing low freight rates. The canal
commissioners are permitted to fur
nish such leases for a period OF five
years, and it is believed that similar
applications will be received fTom
other companies at additional points
The commissioners have received
authority to dispose of the ice on the
canal at the rate Of 81 per 1.008 feet,
This income should aggregate a large
sum if the weather becomes cold
enough TO assure a large crop of ice.
Major Roche OF the government en-
cheering office has supervision over
the Hennepin canal and also over 40
locks on this and other western ca
nails and rivers. The sum Of $250,000
is expended by the Office controlled by
Major Roche and the engineers' Office
In Chicago in caring for locks under
their Jurisdiction.

GRADE CROSSINGS
III REMOVED
BY PENNSYLVANIA ROAD ALONE
DURING THE PAST
SIX YEARS.
ENORMOUS GAIN TO SAFETY OF
TRAINS AND TO THE
PUBLIC.

What the progressive Pennsylvania
railway is doing in one important par
ticular all roads should proceed to do.
Reports of the Pennsylvania show
that during the last six years there
have been removed from the roads
lines west of Pittsburg 159 grade
crossings. Those removed have been
largely within the limits of cities. Of
those now remaining by far the great
er number are on unimpOrtant country
crossings, where travel is Iightest
During the same six years, on the
lines east of Pittsburg, SOS grade
crossings, where travel is 1lghtest.
ing that on the Pennsylvania, as a
whole, the total number OF grade
crossings removed was 727, d fact
which, it is believed, has added enor-
mously to the safety of the road s
trains, and even more greatly % the
safety of those who have had to cross
the tracks at grade.
Thousands Laid Off.
Ten thousand men have been layed
off since December by the Baldwin To-
connective works Of Philadelphia be-
cause of a lack of orders for engines
Samuel M. Vauclain, member Of the
firm, said
mo substantial orders have come
in since December. We have received
a few scattered orders and we are
working on these now. Whereas we
were formerly turning out about sixty
locomotives a week, we are now turn.
ing out only twenty, and we will have
finished up all our work In d short
time. Then, unless we. receive some
substantial orders. we will have to
close. Our full working force is about
10000, but the lack of orders has COM
PEELED US to lay off 10000 workmen
since December. The heaviest lay-offs
started about Jan. l."
What has been responsible for
this?" was asked.
Lack of orders not only from Am
erican but European sources. Japan
is in financial trouble and is sending
US no orders at all It is the same
everywhere"
Highest Salaries Cut.
February the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad reduced the salaries of
all employees making more than $3.50
a month. Those receiving $500 and
more are cut 10 per cent, while those
making more than $3.50 and less than
s400 suffer reduction Of 8 per cent.
The reductions take effect with the
current month. It is hoped by The Off
cials Of the road that no further re-
duction will be necessary, but this will
depend on the earnings of the road
for February. Business improved
somewhat during January, but during
December, as compared with the net
earnings Of December, 1906, there was
falling off OF more than s600,0es.
