MULh INTEREST
IN LABOR CASE
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IT
IS NOT EXPECTED THAT THE
CASE WILL CONE TO TRIAL UN.
TIL NEXT OCTOBER.

Washington, Dec. 24.-In view of
the great Importance Of the case
and the widespread interest 1t has
provoked throughout the country, it
IS the general feeling here that the
hearing before the court Of appeals
will be a lengthy one that adds an
important chapter to the case.
Should the upper court sustain
the ruling Of Justice Wright and a
further appeal to the supreme court
OF the United States by granted, the
case need not necessarily come up
for decision in the highest tribunal
until the fall term, which begins
in October.

PUBLIC WILL
Be DISAPPOINTED
IF THEY EXPECT ROOSEVELT TO
BE PERSONAL IN HIS MES
SAGE TO CONGRESS ON THE
SECRET SERVICE.

Washington, Dec. 24.-1ndica-
tions are that persons who expect
President Roosevelt to say something
OF a personal nature in his message
to congress replying to the inquiry
as to the basis of that portion OF his
message on the secret service will be
disappointed. It is expected he will
confine himself principally to an ef-
fort to sustain the declaration In his
annual message that the action OF
congress limiting the activities OF
the secret service agents has result
ed in increased crime.
Data will be produced to show
that criminals and confidence men
have been quick to take advantage
OF the cessation Of the work OF the
secret service men. but 1t Is not be-
lieved that there will be any refiec-
fion upon the character of individ-
uals that will in the slightest degree
embarrass any member OF the house
or the senate.
To meet any objection that the
secret service Is limited by statute
to the detection of counterfeiters. rev.
enue and customs frauds and at the
same time to preserve the general
usefulness Of that institution, the
president probably will recommend
change in the organic law, so as to
provide for the merging Of the Sc
eret service with the land office In
spectors, postoflce department ant
all OF the other minor government
inspectors, In the interests Of econo
my and good administration.
