Their reception on arrival in

for passage.
A fight started over this motion.
Asher of Brown contended that the
Morgan substitute contained two
separate motions and demanded a
division. Morgan withdrew his
motion and Simmons of Lane made
the simple motion that the commit
tee arise. which is in order at any
time. This motion carried by a
vote of 50 to Fl.
Simmons then moved that the bill
be placed on its final passage and
Archer offered as a substitute that
the bill be recommitted to the COM
mittee on Legislative apportionment.
Before this motion was put it was
discovered that the hour of ; O'Clock
had arrived. Under a concurrent
resolution the consideration of all
original house bills ceased at :
o'clock yesterday and under this
resolution the reapportionment bill
was dead.

sharp parliamentary practices. 1t

When the bill came up in the

Against Uuions.

Special to The News.
Washington, Feb 3.-Today, for
the third time within a month, the
supreme court OF the United States
promulgated an opinion constituting
laws adversely to the contentious of
organized labor.
The first of the decisions was rem
dered on January 6, in the case of
some railway employees who sought
to secure damages under what is
known as the employers liability
faw, making railroads responsible
for injuries resulting from the neg
ligence of fellow servants, which
law the court held to be uncon-
stitutional; the second was announ-
ced on January 8, when the Erd-
man arbitration act, forbidding the
discharge of employees because they
are members of labor unions, was
also declared to be invalid
The verdict rendered today was
in the case of Loewe VS.. Lawlor,
the latter a member of the hatters'
union and the former. hat manufac-
turer of Danbury, Conn. The case
involved the applicability of the
seventh section of the Sherman anti
trust law to conspira cies by labor
unions to boycott articles entering
into interstate trade. Under the
terms of that provision the com
planning party may collect three
times the amount Of his loss if the
charge is sustained.
JUSTICE FULLER'S DECISION.
The union fought the case on the
ground that the law was inapplicable
to such organizations, but the court
whose opinion was announced by
Chief Justice Fuller, failed to accept
this view and, in effect, held that
the unions could not be permitted
to interfere by boycott with the free
exchange of commerce between the
states. There was Nd dissenting
opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller said:
'In our opinion the combination
described in the declaration is
combination in restraint of trade or
commerce among the several states
in the sense in which those words
are used in the act, and the action
can be maintained accordingly, and
that conclusion rests on many judg-
ments of this court, to the effect
that the act prohibits any combi-
nation whatever to secure action
which essentially obstructs the free
flow of commerce between the states.
or destrict, in that regard, the lib
erty of trade to engage in business
'.lhere is no doubt, to quote
from the welknown work of Chief
Justice Erie on trade unions, il
common law every person has in
dlvidually, and the public has also
collectively, right to require that
the course of trade should be kept
free from unreasonable obstruction"

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1908.

Readers of Bret Harte should not fail to see
Mr. Henry c. Merwin's paper on his heroines
in the September Atlantic" or to be grateful
to him for writing it. He emphasizes a phase
of the romancers work which is not perhaps,
generally appreciated In Bret Hartes stories,
as he says, woman is subordinated to man just
as love is subordinated to friendship. The
principal figure in almost all the tragic tales Is
a man." Most of us have probably felt what
Mr.. Merwin notes. that Harte gave himself with
less gusto to the portrayal of his heroines than
to that of his Yuba Bills, Jack HamlnS and
Colonel Starbottles. It was good idea, there
fore, to ask if any other modern author has eX-
hbted "a more charming gallery of heroines
or has depicted the passion of love in so pure
and wholesome FORM Mr.. Merwin has no
difficulty in proving his point. Carefully OBJ
serving all of his authors heroines and miss
ing no single trait possessed by any one Of them,
he soon shows how lorable they are; that,
while they may lack education and inherited
refinement, they are, on fhe whole, women Of
a noble type. "They have he says, courage,
tenderness, sympathy, the power of self-sacri
flee; they have even that strain of ferceness
which seems to be inseparable, in man or beast
from the capacity for deep affection" AS he
goes on, too, he demonstrates their variety, the
rich store of humanity embodied in these
women Decidedly this is an essay worth
reading
