of the oath and the statement of rail-
road officials 10 the Gazette of the 25th

ACCORDING to q decision Of the U. 8.

right Of the employee to quit the service
Of his employer for whatever reasons, is
tho same IS Tie right of the employer,

the services of such employe. The above

The case went up on labor issue where
asmap, sho belonged to labor unioD'
had been discharged, 1t being alleged
that his dismissal wss for 20 other reason
than that he belonged to union. Many
laboring nee acknowledge the equity OF
the decision. There seems to be more

leaders at present. In California few

izations went on record against sympa-
thetic strikes and boycotts. Such are
also opposed by Mr.. John Mitchell.

The ThaW Trial.

New York, Jan. 28.-When 0court
opened in the Thaw trial today both
Jerome and bis assistants were prepared
70 bury through their rehuttsl evidence.
While none OF il had beea forecssted
and will not be until seyersl witnesses
are sgorn, it is fact that jerome is
well pleased over the situation.
There is no likelihood of Thaw going
free Prior to the first trial Jerome was,
it was said, willing to have o commits
sion declare Whites slayer insane and
fend him to hospital. But this was
opposed By Thaw and his family, who
believed q plea Of chivslrous conduct
would influence a New York jury and.
secure Thsw's absolute freedom. That
was tried and failed.
Littleton, one Of the cleverest Of oFim-
lnal lawyers, when called in, realizing
there Was grave danger Of conviction Of
murder in the first degree, set out to
prove ThaW's insanity. He has done
so, apparently TO the satisfaction of him
self and possibly also Of the prosecution.
II. F. Bslez, a publisher; Paul Brude,
fireman Of the city department, and
Warner Paxton, the engineer at the
Garden, all of whom witnessed the
tragedy, we're quickly sworn today. They
declared that Thaw seemed rational.
They occupied the stand but brief
period of time.
Several other witnesses also testified.
Jerome has decided not tc call any
medical experts in rebuttal and at noon
announced he only desired to dispose of
the Hummel matter before closing his
rebuttal.

jury tomorrow.

Washington, Jan. 49, Labor chsm-
pions sre showing the effects of the blow
given their cause by the decision Of the
U. s. Supreme Court yesterday, declsr-
ing unconstitutional that section OF the
Erdman act of June /, 1898, which pro-
hibits railroads engaged in interstate
commerce from discriminating against
empl y ees because they belong to labor
unions. When the same court, three
weeks sgo. erased from the statute books
the La Toilette employers liability act,
labor leaders were chagriued, but set to
work without delay to have the present
Congress pass another act that would
prove constitutional. A week age, a
second blow came, when the court re-
fused to Tut stop to government by
injunction" by reviewing an injunction
against striking seamen on the Pacific
coast. With the latest decision, the
leaders of organized labor are plsinly
perplexed as to what course to pursue.
l. was one of the most sweeping de-
cisiops ever handed down by the Su-
preme Court.
The satisfaction with which repre-
seutatiVes of capital received the courts
opinion yesterday, was expressed by a
corporation attorney, who had listened
to Justice Harlan pronounce the section
to be an srbilray interference with the
right of contract, not justified Ia free
land.
Thank God, there Is still bulwsrk

its rights, exclaimed the lawyer"
Little hope is entertained that another
law can be enacted which will obviste
the objections raised by the court, The
objection that it is class legislation
might be removed by making il crime
to discriminate against an employe be-
cause he was not member of union,
but this would be to purchase prolec-
ton by recognition Of The open shop, q
remedy most as bitter IS the injury it
seeks 10 end.
Still, there would remain the feature
of interference with the liberty and prop
erty rights of the railroads, and so long
as only Jnssice Peckhsm is inclined to
deem such liberty and property rights
the "mere whims and csprices of the
railroads." such a new law would un-
doubtedly meet the same fac as the Erd.
man section.
The other sections Of the Erdman lSN
provide the arbitration machinery ur-
der which Chairman Knapp, Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
Commissioner of Labor Neill have set
tied during the last year, several labor
disputes on Interstate railroads. The
court made it plain that these sections
were not involved 10 yesterdays deci-
sion, aud they will remain on the statute
books.

COPPER MINES ARE
DIVIDEND PAYERS
Red Metal Producers Share More
Profits Than Any Other Glass.

For 60 metal mines and works in
the United States to pay dividends
amounting to the large total of $24,-
S94,341 for seven months this year
"a period of low prices and curtailed
consumption-is indisputable testi-
mony of the extraordinary profits that
are being earned in the great min
eral industry. BY careful tabula-
ton the Mining World has ascertain
ed that these so corporations, with
capitalizations varying from 100000
to 500, 100000, have since their or
ganization distributed dividends
among their numerous shareholders
to the enormous total of S4S3, 056,-
O7S. On the issued capitalization of
s39S,4S1 $50. the dividends paid thus
far show a return of 121 per cent,
which may rightly be called the mag
net that has attracted SO many in
vestors in mining and metallurgical
shares. says the Mining World.
Besides the large dividends declar-
ed by the mines and works, there is
being distributed at regular intervals
vast profits by corporations whose
revenue is obtained chiefly from the
securities which they own in operat-
ing mines and works. For instance.

General w. S. Morse, OF the Utah
division of. the American Smelling
& Refining Co., returned Sunday from

ton in the advances recently made
by copper and hope sin the changes

ticed while in the east. said MT
Morse. twas the material advance in
the copper market. 1t seems to be
in excellent condition. Prices will be
going up further. The feeling about
copper is very good. Our own peo-
ple feel that way. All indications
point for better prices.
1.-THE demand for lead is improv-
ing. The demand is not increasing
quite so rapidly as it is for copper,
but there is an improvement beyond
all question Of doubt. The lead
situation looks encouraging.
Lead was quoted last week al
$4.521a. 1t will be remembered that
about two months ago, before he
went east, and Just at the time when
lead first reached the $3.50 mark,
Mr.. Morse predicted that the. metal
would hang around that figure for
some time; and it has.
"Silver is something which none OF
us have much to say about" contin-
ued Mr.. Morse. Its price depends
entirely upon the Indian demand and
that is too uncertain"
Speaking OF conditions generally
Mr.. Morse said:
"The tide has turned, but 1t re.
mains to be seen just what length
of time will be required to show
radical change"
