ERIE APPEALS TO COURT
Questions Constitutionality of Inter-
state Commerce Act.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Trenton, N. j.. July 2S.-The Erie Railroad
Company began q suit against the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the United States
Circuit Court here to-day. asking the court to
pass on the methods adopted by the commission
in obtaining information from railroad COM
panies as to the number of hours their employees
work, and also to pass upon the constitutionality
of the law itself.
The railroad company complains that the COM
mission issued orders requiring all railroads TO
report the number of hours their employees work,
and cites that this is in violation Of the Fourth
and Fifth amendments to the United States
Constitution in that II compels railroads TO give
information which might be used against them
in suit for alleged violation of the act of Con-
gress limiting the hours of service of employees.
The orders referred to in the bill of complaint
were issued after meeting of the Interstate
Commerce Commission held March 80. The
Erie charges that the purpose of the commits
sion in making these orders and in requiring the
reports was to enable it to obtain from common
carriers evidence of infractions of the law, in
order that suits might be brought to recover the
penalties prescribed under the act.
1t is contended if railroads are compelled to
live up to these orders and required 10 make
such reports, that In the event of any infraction
of the act by their officers agents they would
be Obliged to furnish, under OATH information of
such infraction or violation, and would, conse-
Quently, be required to disclose the actions OF
their officers, which might subject them to the
penalties prescribed under the act.
The Erie Also contends that the order compels
the railroads to furnish evidence which the
United States Attorney can use against them in
court to collect fines and that this is in violation
of the Constitution.

STRONG POINTS IN JUDGE TAFTS
SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.

Mr.. Roosevelt's policies are progressive and
reguIative; Mr.. Bryan's destructive.
Combinations of capital are just as neces-
sary assembling of the parts Of a machine.
The Democratic platform does not propose
to destroy tho plants of trusts physically, but
proposes to do the same thing in different
way.
The Democratic platforms trust remedy
would involve the entire community. innocent
as it is, in the punishment of the guilty,
while the Republican policy is to stamp out
specific evil.
Tho tariff. where the schedules exceed tho
difference between the cost of the production
of such articles abroad and at home, incIud
ing reasonable profit to the American pro-
duoer, should bo revised; schedules not suf-
ficientIy high should be raised. The Demo-
cratic tariff reform a revenue basis would
halt business recovery and cause disaster.
BY the provision of the Republican oonven-
ton the injustice which has occurred through
the issuing of preliminary restraining orders in
injunction without notice and the fixing
CT hearings weeks or months after~ard could
not recur.
The reason for exercising or refusing 20
exercise the power of the Injunction must b..
found in the character of thu unlawful in
jury and not in the character or class of per-
sons who lnf1ct the injury. The man whose
business is being unawfuIIy injured is n
titled to tho remedies which the law has al
ways given him.
Never in the history of the country has
there been such an insidious attack the
judicial system the proposal to nteriect
jury trial between all orders of the courts
made after the full hearing and enforcement
of such orders.
The proposition of tho Democratic plat
form to turn the government of the Philip
pines over to tho FiIipnos would lead to ui
innate chaos.
The Democratic party has promised cam
paign contributions publicity; the Repub-
can party has forbidden by law corporation
campaign contributions, and abldes by the
law providing for the publication OF contrbu-
tons.
The United States world power must
not be luied into of security which
n,oht expose them to national humiliation.
The best course. therefore, is constant i'm
provenent in the navy and it's maintenance
at the highest point of efficiency.
