Trade and commeree-op-

| Washington, Jan. 28.--Addressinl
the house Monday on the financia
question, Mr.. Fowler. chairman Of the
committee on banking and currency
declared that the United States had
the worst financial and currency pro
cess in the world instead Of the best.

had not some nation adopted 1t by this
timer
Japan tried it overnight, he said, but
quickly gave 1t up.
Mr.. Fowler favored coming reserves
out Of gold. United States notes, he
said, were mere promises to pay" "a
mere piece Of fiat issued during the
war" They had never been retired
because neither the republican nor the
democratic party ever had the political
courage to do its duty.
The sub-treasury system of the gov
eminent was attached by Mr.. Fowler
as curse to trade and commerce. 1T
Is a source Of suspicion" he declared,
"a source Of hatred, source Of sec
tional rivalry" He said he knew
nothing that SO constantly aroused sec
tional feeling las this distribution Of
money In times Of stress" United
States money, he said, had been dis
turbing factor in the commerce of the
world, and he maintained that a rem
edy for this evil could be supplied by
the government by deposlting its
money in bank every day by check and
draft, and by drawing 1t out by check
and draft, Just like any other business
Institution.
Mr.. Fowler asserted that an individ-
ual banking system cannot stand
alone, because every serious rumor
causes runs and the banks know they
cannot survive. These banks, he said,
should be coordinated and brought
into one harmonious whole. 1t was
was high time, he said, depositors
knew what was in the bowels of the
banks when they placed their money

The time was ripe, he said, and the
opportunity was at hand to eliminate

rency system. 1t all could be done,
he said, within three or four months.
Mr. Fowler expressed his opposition
TO the establishment Of a central
bank, giving as one Of his reasons that
the United States was too partisan and
that its institutions were not suited
for such bank.
Mr.. Fowler was bombarded with |
questions regarding the details of his

JUSTICE HARLANs DECISION
Supreme Court Holds Act to Be uncon-
Observation-Disclosures Mckenna De-
Ilvered Dissenting Opinion
Case from Kentucky. s

Washington, Jan. 28.-The constitu'
tionality Of the act Of congress Of
June l, 1898, prohibiting railroad com
panies engaged in interstate com
merce 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 de-
cided by the supreme court Of the
United States Monday favorable to
Adair. The opinion was by Justice
Harlan and held the law to be repug-
nant to the constitution.
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad company, had a right
to discharge an employee because he
was a member Of labor organization
Just as it was the employees right to
quit such employment because of his
membership in such organizations.
Such. 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 violation
Of contracts under the guise of pro-
tecting interstate commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered dis
senting opinion favorable to the law
In which he said the courts decision
Is along very narrow lines.
The case came,to the supreme court
on writ of error from the United
States district court for the eastern
district Of Kentucky. Adair is the
master mechanic of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad company, and he
was proceeded against on the charge
Of threatening to discharge from the
employ Of the company a locomotive
engineer named Coppage because the
latter was q member of labor union.
The act of 1898, which was Coppage's
protection, and the district court fined
Adair 500. The constitutionality Of
the act was strenuously attacked In
the district court by the railroad at
torneys, and when the decision was
announced they promptly brought the
case to the supreme court with the re-
suit that the decision Of the lower
court was reversed. In his decision
Justice Harlan held 1t was Adair's
right to serve his employer as best he
could so long a. he did nothing for
hidden by law as contrary to the pub
lie welfare.
