PRETTY HARD DEAL TO LABOR.-A
recent decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court in declaring that labor organ
izatiOn are trusts and in restraint of
trade and therefore can be enjoined,
is severe blow at organized labor.
"The decision makes labor organiza-
ton and individual members thereof Ii
able to triple damages. Any member
may be fined $1,000 and sent to prison
for one year, besides paying civil dam
ages. No wonder the labor vote is drift
ing in a certain direction"

POT AND KETTLE - Eugene V.
Debbs is the subject of criticism by
President Gompers, in the current
number of the american Fcderattontst,
in which he charges that the money
for the Red Special" campaign
train of the Socialists, had been sup
piled by the capitalists, and that
Debs is riding about the country in
luxurious style at their expense"
1t further says: 1t would be in
teresting to know who pays for the
$23, 900 campaign train. Compare
anything that Debs may say with
the most virulent attacks upon labor
by the Parry-POst-Van Cleave gang,
and note a remarkable similarity be-
tween them-then it becomes an easy
guess as to where Dcbs gets his IN
SEPARATION and. possibly, even his
financial backing" DebS now, as a
Social candidate, seems to think it
is his duty and privilege to take a
crack at everybody. While on his
picnic excursion, few days ago,
called the q" Red Special, in 4 speech
on ground. about 80 miles out from
Chicago, he hurled broadsides of eX-
coriation against Republicans, Demo
Gratis and the working class. calling
them " wage-slayes who never had
and never will have either money or
sense. " OF course, Eugene has i
monopoly of the latter commodity,
and the best evidence 10 demonstrate
yacuity of intellect is to fail in re-
Spouse OF yea. yea, or may. nay,
to accord with his own bombastic ut.

A number of statements from promi-
nent people located in various cities
where the widespread discussion over
l.. T. Cooper's new theory regarding
the human stomach has recently
waged, give an idea of the intense in
terest the young man has aroused
during the past year. The statements
are as follows:
Mr.. c. D. Mitchell, of 2412 Avenue
c., Birmingham, Ala, has this to say
with regard to his belief in Coopers
medicine: Il have been troubled with
indigestion and stomach trouble for
the past year. l had heartburn, bloat-
ing after eating, gas on stomach and
bowels, palpitation of my heart, pain
in the lower part of nay back, and
various other symptoms, and was a

DISCOURAGING IMMIGRATION

Rather a cheerful view of the de-
parture of so many foreigners from
this country is taken by the Chicago
Record-Herald Certainly those who
have been insisting that immigration
was running American institutions
should be enjoying the lining in the de-
preston cloud.
The Record-Herald says
Relief from such incidents as that
of the pathetic Bulgarian uprising in
this city is promised in the return
of immigrants to their own homes and
a check in the immigration rate of
the last few years. 1t is true that
the conditions of labor are depOrabIe
in some European countries, but a
man who is suffering in his native
land is not likely to be attracted by
the prospect of starving abroad.
In his last annual report the COM
missioner general of immigration had
something to say on the subjects of
inducements which we may recall as
pertinent to the situation. He ex-
pressed the opinion that letters to
the home folks" constituted the most
SALGuS1NC ul0luOu VI dQNCILlSiuS IudL
could be imagined. Manifestly these
letters now will tend to keep people
away, but there are other induce
ments of different nature which,
in the language of the report, are
offered by ''the violators and evaders
of the contract labor features of the
law and the steamship runners and
agents" These people have brought
on an unnatural immigration in the
past against which there have been
many protests. They are blamable
in part for present conditions and
blamable at all times for lawbreaking
or the base deception of the ignorant.
The carriers are satisfied if they
can collect passage money, dump their
victims and leave them to their own
resources. Attempts to prevent the
practice have been unsuccessful, but
if they keep it up there is likely
to be increased agitation for an effec-
tive control of the traffic.

A Vital Difference
(Philadelphia Press.l

The depression and financial strin-
gency which began last October con-
tinues month after month, as is
always the case after a great shock
to trade and traffic.
But there is this vital difference
between this depression and those
which have preceded it. In the past,
when any corporation, banking, in
dustrial, or railroad, got into trou-
gle at such a time it went into the
hands of a receiver, and all interests,
large and small, near or far, shared
the shock of it's open bankruptcy
AS the escape of the Erie Railroad
from a receivership this week shows,
this no longer takes place. In the past
this railroad has gone into the
hands of a receiver at each financial
depression. 1t was expected this
time. Such a receivership shakes
credits, Injuries business, makes all
cautious and retards recovery. 1t
throws a shadow over the entire bus
mess prospect.
In this depression an Erie receiver
ship has been avoided. So has the
receivership of two other railroads.
The Knickerbocker Trust Company,
the big New York trust company,
whose failure brought on the panic,
is open again. No great industrial
has fallen.
The country is richer than in any
previous panic. Receiverships can
be prevented Capital exists to sue
cor those in trouble Railroads are
helped Credits are saved from
shock and general business is safer.
This all means earlier recovery,
freedom from alarm and steady i'm
provement.

FIRST OCEAN.TO-OCEAN LINE

On next Sunday the first Pacifc-to-
the Atlantic railroad line will be
completed under one management
The three links in the chain will be
the Central of Georgia, the Illinois
Central and the Union Pacific.
Hitherto the division line in the
matter of ownership has been around
Chicago, this being due in large part
to the great value of the Eastern lines
which placed their owners in a very
independent attitude regarding any
consolidation with western lines. So
it remained for a Southern road to
have the distinction of completing the
link in through line from sea to sea.
While there has been some criticism
the South has no reason to feel other
than kindly for his latest coup. 1t
it the entering wedge for making
South Georgia. ports the center of a
large export trade, covering almost
the entire country west of Chicago.
From the corn and wheat belts of
the west, to the cotton fields of the
South, will come increased ship
ments seeking an outlet from Sayan-
nah.
The Illinois Central for many years
has been making New Orleans its
chief shipping port, but as this port
is one to two days farther from
European ports than Savannah, the
latter has much to commend it. Diff
ficulties have also arisen in connec-
ton with the dock facilities at New
Orleans which render a diversion OF
shipments from that port desirable
AS the highway of commerce from
| the West. the whole state will bene-
fit, while in the prosperity of GeOr-
gias chief port there will be univer-
sal satisfaction.
For many years the Central OF
Georgia has been a trunk line, its
ramifications extending into three
states and spreading over Geor-
gia like a net, but now it is to be a
part &, transcontinental line, with
all t = added prestige which such q
con o. ion gives it.
IL Central, under the efficient
| management of Maj. J. F. Hanson
has become one of the best roads
of the South, and as the third link in
vast rail system of thousands Of
| miles, it will become even more pro-
ftable The diversion of freight from
Gulf port to South Atlantic out
let will give the Central much more
| business.
1t is worth noting also that the
first actual transcontinental line
| is a Southern one.

THE COMPRESS INSURANCE.

1t has been more than two months
plant of the Americas Compress Com
pany, and the insurance companies
have not yet apparently manifested
any serious disposition to settle for
the loss. AS far as known, no ques-
ton has been raised as to the nature
of the loss, the only question being
the assessment of the damages.
Except for the enterprise of the
Messrs. Council and the Messrs.
Harold, who have gone ahead with
their own means, the prospect for
having the compress in shape for
the next season would have been of
the negative kind. Fortunately, the
gentlemen named had the capital to
go ahead.
The excuse offered by the insurance
companies is that satisfactory ref
cree has not been selected. A num-
Der of reputable gentlemen have been
suggested by the compress owners,
but the insurance adjusters insist on
a person unknown to the local men,
apparently without reason except to
delay the payment of the insurance.
This indisposition to settle insur-
ance losses promptly has brought
down on the head of insurance
companies much just criticism. Had
not the owners of the compress gone
ahead with the work of rebuilding,
Americas would be up in arms at
the delay, which would-except for
the circumstance noted, and for which
the insurance companies were in no
wise to be given credit-have left
Americas without a cotton COM
press the coming season, a calamity
which needs only to be stated to be
realized.
