rHn United states Court Of Appeals

THE United States Court of Appeals
for the Chicago district has set aside
the Judgment against the Standard
Oil Company and the fine of 1926, 240,-
900 for accepting rebates from the rail
roads. There is no question OF the
fact that the Oil trust did take such
rebates and thereby shut out the com
petition of rival concerns, but the
court overrules the Judgment on tech
nical points, many of which were raised
during the course of the trial. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has instructed Attor-
ney-General Bonaparte to take imme-
date steps for retrial of the Standard
Oil case. In order to set aside all
doubts as to the attitude of the admin
istration in the premises, the follow.
ing statement was issued by Secretary
Loeb last evening:
The President has directed the At
torney- General to Immediately take
steps for the retrial of the Standard
Oil case. The reversal of the decision
of che lower court does not in any
shape or way touch the merits of the
case, excepting so far as the size of the
/ fine is concerned. There is absolute
ly no question Of the guilt Of the
defendants or of the exceptionally
grave character of the otfeuse. The
President would regard it as a gros;
miscarriage of justice If Through any
technicalities of any kind the defend
ants escaped the punishment which
would unquestionably have been metec
out to any weaker defendant who haC
been guilty of such otfense. The Pres
ident will do everything in his power
to avert or prevent such miscarriag;
of Justice. With this purpose In view
the President has directed the Attor
ney-General to bring into consultation
Mr.. Frank B. KellogS in the matter
and to do everything possible to bring
the offenders to justice.

DESPITE all the talk about a treas
ury deficit the completed figures of
our foreign trade for the fiscal year
19O7-'0S show the largest balance in
our favor ever recorded. That bal
ance is $3.50, 457, lO3, which exceeds
by 50 100000 the phenomenal mar
gin of the fiscal year 10000. And
a favorable balance of trade for a
country is just as sure a proof of
prosperity as credit balance on a
merchants ledger is that his business
is prosperous.

FOOD AND WAGES.

Tie Bureau of Labor Of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at
Washington has put out paper deal
ing with the prices of food and the
average wages paid in the principa
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries of the country in 1907. The re-
suits Of the investigation are stated
in figures. The average wages per
hour was 81 per cent higher in
1907 than 1906. On this showing
the cost OF living was increased one
half of one per cent more than wages
were advanced.
Quite the most interesting output is
the comparative table Of wages per
hour, retail prices of food and the pur-
chasing power of wages for the eight
teen years period from 1890 to 1908.
This is definite. 1t is observed that
in this time wages per hour has never
been less than 98.3 per cent (1S95), and
never higher than 1888 per cent
Q90D. Retail prices Of food have never
been less than 95.5 per cent 1896,
and never higher than 1905 per cent
(1907. The purchasing power of
wages has not been less than 96.6
per cent QS91). and never more than
1913 per cent (1906). Following an
examination of this table must come
the conclusion that advances in wages
have kept step with the increased
cost of living and that the purchasing
power has steadily advanced. Thus
In 1890 the wages were 1908 per cent,
the retail price OF food 1924, and the
purchasing power 97.9 per cent. In
1907 the wages had advanced to 1888
per cent; prices of food to 1905 per
cent, and the purchasing power to 1868.
A slight computation will discover
that the purchasing power of wages
has kept steady pace with the in
creased cost of living. Those who have
suffered most from the advance in the
cost of living are the people with in-
vestments, professional men and clerks.

ORGANIZED labor has been pledged
to Mr.. Bryan by the president of the
American Federation, Samuel Com.
pers, who imagined that because he
had been selected as the leader of the
organized forces of labor he thus be-
came the custodian of a gigantic trust
which he could manipulate at will.
Developments have brought a rude
awakening. Few, if any, of the labor
unions, have ratified the bargain. On
the contrary, many of them have taken
advantage Of the first opportunity to
notify Mr.. Gompers that they do not
regard themselves as bound by any
thing he did or said. Also they have
told him not to include them in his
calculations.
Organized labor will divide it's vote
among the various candidates as in the
past, still there are doubtless many
who will support Mr.. Bryan with the
idea that as he has always espoused
the, cause for which they yearn in his
speeches, no matter to what lengths
their desires go, and is the author OF
the phrase government by injunc-
tion," he can do something for them.
However, the deluSion is worth dis
polling. There are labor men who sup
pose that should Bryan be elected,
they will in Industrial disputes benefit
by his victory. If they vote for him
with this idea in mind, they will give
something for nothing. Power to is
sue injunctions will remain just where
it is and just as it is, no matter who
may be elected. After all that has
happened, it is not likely to be abused.
Court procedure is safe from modifi-
cation by Mr.. Bryan now, but it is nc
more secure than it would be should
he be elected next November. In that
event, he might have the satisfaction
of seeing the House of Representatives
go Democratic, but nothing Of the sort
can possibly happen with the Senatel
| 1t will be Republican until and after
the President to be chosen this year
has served his term of office, neither
Mr.. Gompers nor Mr.. Bryan can "de'
lliver the goods" ais edg
