Employers May Bar Unions.

Washington.-The constitutionality
of the act of Congress OF June l, 1908,
prohibiting railroad companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce from
discriminating against members of
labor organizations in the matter of
employment was called into question
by the case OF William Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the Supreme Court of the United States
Monday favorable to Adair. The opin-
ion was by Justice Harlan and held
the law to be repugnant to the consti-
tuition
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville 4 Nash
vile Railroad Company. had right to
discharge an employe because he was
a member Of a labor organization just
as it was the employees right to quit
such employment because of his mem
bership in such organization.
Such a course, the decision added.
might be unwise, but. regarded as a
mere matter OF right, there could be
no doubt Congress could not under
the constitution authorize a violation
of contracts under the guise OF pro-
tecting interstate commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dis
senting opinion favorable to the law,
in which he said the courts decision is
along very narrow lines.
Justice Holmes also expressed the
opinion that the law should be CON
strued as constitutional He thought
that the Fight-to make contracts had
been stretched to the limit by the
courts decision in this case. That
Congress had right to SO legislate
as to encourage labor organizations
was another suggestion Of Justice
Holmes.

Force Of Example Exemplifed in Pre-.

There is a certain man living not
far from New York whose temper is
not of the longest, and when he feels
that his rage is justitiable he is very
apt to indulge in fluent. versatile and
varied profanity.
And il is when using the telephone
that this talent OF his is seen and

One day he had been having an un-
usually stormy session, and did not
notice that his two-year-old son was
sitting in corner of the room, his
face rapt and absorbed. A few hours
later the child's mother came in and
was Mortified beyond words to hear
her baby giving voice to a stream of
eXpletives, some of which began with
very large capital D-the rest with

Noted Desperate Captured.

Pueblo.-Tom Carr, the ex-convict
and desperate, who is wanted here on
serious charge upon the complaint
of his stepdaughter, Edith Carr, and
who was arrested in Ell Paso, Tex,
about a week ago, reached Pueblo
Tuesday in charge Of Sheriff Mcmillan.
Soon after his arrival here Carr was
taken into justice court and arraigned
on a charge of criminal assault. He
pleaded not guilty and being unable
to furnish bail, was taken to Jail to
await trial.
The story Of Carr's sensational es-
cape and subsequent capture sounds
like tale Of the old West. On leav-
ing Verde after escaping from Deputy
Sheriff Burrows, he rode horse which
is the property of Chief of Police Nc
Cafferty of Pueblo, as far as Alamosa,
where he traded it for two bronchos.
In crossing the range near Alamosa
both his feet were badly frozen, but
he kept going until he reached Santa
Fe, N. NJ, where he took train for
Ell Paso He Immediately crossed
over into Old Mexico, but his descrip-
tion from Pueblo had preceded him
and by clever ruse a plain clothes
man lured him back to Ell Paso, when
ne was Immediately arrested. Carr
seems to be heartbroken, but stovtly
maintains his innocence.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land
The figures are absurdly low at first
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre. and the farmer consents
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre The
agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold. but this stipula-
ton is not contained in contract
that the farmer signs.
In a few days he receives a copy OF
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one Of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts

Collecting in New Hampshire.

A New Hampshire man tells OF .
tight-tisted man of affairs in a town
of that state, who until recently had
never been observed to take an inter-
est in church matters. Suddenly, how
ever, he became regular attendant
at divine service, greatly to the
astonishment of his fellow towns
men.
What do you think of the case OF
old ketchum?' said one of the busi-
ness men of the place to a friend. is
it true that he has got religion?''
We'll, hardly" replied the other.
THE fact is, it's entirely a matter OF
business with him. l am in a posi-
tion to know that about year ago h0
loaned the pastor $50, which the lat
ter was unable to pay. So there re-
mained nothing for ketchum but to
take it out in pew rent.

Packing Plant Burned.

Kansas City.-Fire OF unknown
origin started in the canning depart
ment on the second floor OF one Of the
twin main buildings of the $4,000, 900
packing plant of Nelson Morris & Co,
on the kaw river in Kansas City,
Kan, Tuesday night, threatened de-
struction of the entire plant and
caused loss estimated at $750,000 be-
fore it was controlled.
All efforts to save the east main
building, in which the fire started,
and the box factory, were abandoned
within an hour after the flames were
discovered, and the firemen devoted
themselves to the work of saving the
other buildings.
The building in which the fire
started contained the canning depart
ment, the coolers, the dressing room,
the wholesale department, and killing
beds and the contents supplied the
fire with fuel which made the flames
difficult to combat. The fire had
gained great headway before the fire
department arrived and the heat was
so intense that it was impossible for
the firemen to make any progress in
checking it except to prevent its
spreading. The box factory in the rear
Of the main building was entirely de-
stroyed. The flames also spread to
the cattle chutes, many of which were
burned.
The other main building contains
the general Offices and the engine
room and much salvage from the
burned building was carried into it.
The Morris packing plant was the new
est in this city, having been completed
two years ago.

SARCASTIC COMMENTS OF ILL
NoiS CONGRESSMAN ON
TITLED HUSBANDS.
PROPOSES HEAD TAX
MOTHERS WHO BUY REMNANTS
OF ROYALTY AT BARGAIN
COUNTER.

Washington.-In the house Tuesday
Representative McGaven Ull), at
tackled the custom of American heir
esses marrying European noblemen.
Mr.. McGayen was speaking on the
bill to tax dowries and titled hus-
bands. His remarks We're made under
the license of general debate and at
times they provoked laughter and ap-
plause.
The house, he said. was in commit
tee of the whole on the state Of the
union. but he wanted to know what
the state of the Union was and what
it was coming to in view of these in
ternational unions between American
heiresses and alleged nobilities from
abroad"
He wondered what the early pio-
neers would think and say if from
their graves they could look back to
see SO many of the women of this coun-
try Sacrificing their souls and honor
upon the altar of snobbery and vice. -
He expressly stated that he had ref
erence to no particular American girl.
nor had he prejudice against all titled
men, but he referred only to those
who have monocle in their eyes and
an idiotic look upon their faces
those who have neither the disposition
to do good nor the ability to do harm" "
Mr.. McGavin said his curiosity had
been reused to know the right COM
mittee to which the bill should have
gone, but he had found it properly had
gone to the committee on ways and
means. because it sought to levy tax.
And then he said he was curious to
know whether the present tariff sched-
ule included dukes, earls, lords and
counts. "and finding that these things
were not here mentioned, | thought it
might be proper for the customs Off
cials to classify them like frog legs,
as poultry. for it is general opinion
among Americans that they are a
species of geese"
MIR. McGavin said the United States
triumphantly had referred to the fact
that as between it and other nations
the balance of trade was in its favor,
but" he said. nowhere in the sum
mary can be found reference to such
trade, in which soiled and frayed no
bility~is exchanged for ew-mAlioR
American dollars wrung from the
lambs Of Wall street, with woman
thrown in to boot"
Every day, he declared, seemed to
be a bargain day in New York city,
whether It be for a yard of ribbon or
pound of flesh; whether it be upon
the retail counter of Broadway, or the
auction block of Fifth avenue
In these days, he said, wealthy Am
erican girls travelling abroad, when
they see some remnant of royalty, en-
Enthusiastically exclaim: oh mamma,
buy me that
An Interpreter then is secured. a
bargain is made, the money is pro
duced and the girl is gone, to soon re
turn sadder but wiser one"
In conclusion Mr.. McGavin said:
While | have INDUCED in some
criticism of those particular ones who
have made a mockery of the most sac
red relations of life-of those not sat
isfied with any other name but
Countess Spaghetti or Countess Mac
aroni,' | want to say one word in trib-
ute to those true American women who
have spurned the wiles of earls. lords
and counts for the love of his majesty
an American citizen"
