CLAIMS NEW TARIFF
WILL PROTECT LABOR
Trainers of Bill Say Industries Which
Compete with Cheap Foreign
Productions viii BE
Conserved

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.--The tariff
trainers met again today to continue
the work of preparing a tariff bill
While protection to industries, which
must compete with cheap labor abroad,
will be the keynote of the revised tariff,
much consideration will be given to the
question of revenue for the govern
ment. The revenue feature involves a
more difficult problem than either the
portective or other phases of the tariff
revision question.
IT is claimed by some that the gov
eminent has been deprived of millions
of dollars of revenue during the ope-
ration of the Dingley tariff because of
the numerous changes made in the
bill after it passed the house. These
changes were made principally in the
wording of the bill, rather than in the
rates of duty.
IT. is freely said that numerous large
interests that will be affected by the
new tariff law as it will be reported
to the house. will make a strong fight
when the bill reaches the senate. 1t is
understood that President-elect Taft
will exert every influence to have the
bill go through the senate as it comes
from the house. 1t is even said that
Mr.. Taft will veto the bill If the senate
makes too many changes tending to in
crease the rates of duty.

R0CKEFELLER'S 0LD-TIME
FINANCIAL OPPONENT DEAD
James corrigan, Who Thirteen Years
Ago Sued the Oil Magnate and
Lost, Is Victim of
Appendicitis

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 24.-James
Corrigan, 70 years old, who had a bitter
financial struggle with John d. Rookie
Teller about thirteen years ago, and
who since has wrested millions from
ore, coal and furnace industries. died
today of an operation for appendicitis.
Corrigan was the leading member OF
the firm OF Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.,
iron ore and pig iron dealers, and was
president of three Pennsylvania fur
mace companies.
He became identified with the petro-
leum industries in the SOS, building a
refining plant. When the hard times
OF the early '90s came Corrigan went to
John d. Rockefeller for financial as
sistance obtaining loan, 1t Is said, ag-
gregating $4,000.
In the panic of 1898 he found ii diff
cult to meet his interest obligations and
in 1895 Rockefeller bought Corrigans
Standard Oh stock at $16S a share.
Within a month it was selling for $185.
Corrigan sued Rockefeller, claiming
the oil magnate knew that the stock
would go up and as trustee should have
appraised him of the fact. The case
went to the highest courts and Corri-
gan lost.

FEDERATION OF LABOR WILL
HOLD INDIGNATION MEETING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24--The whole
question of sentencing for contempt OF
court of President Gompers, Vice
President Mitchell and Secretary Nor
rison of the American Federation of
Labor by Justice Wright in the SUI
preme court of the District of Column
bia yesterday, will be threshed over
at a meeting of the executive council
of the federation to be held in this
city January II next.
This meeting, not a regularly sched-
uled one, will be notable undoubtedly
because OF the vital issues affecting the
labor question involved in the action
of the court.
Resolutions sustaining the attitude of
the leaders of the big organization with
it's 30,000-odd councils and 100000
members will be submitted for action
ond scathing arraignment of the de-
cision will be outlined.
President Gompers was not in his
office today and no information was
given out there as, to where he could
be found.
Secretary Morrison was at the fed
GRAFTON headquarters, however, busy
with his routine duties.
Active steps in the framing of the
fight against the carrying out of the
sentences are not likely until next week
and Secretary Morrison said today the
plan so far as the officials of the fed
Grafton themselves foresee is to do
nothing about it until after the holi-
days.

RAILROAD WILL FILE
NOVEL FREIGHT RATE
New Tariff Will BE Compilation of
Local, Joint and Proportlonate
Figures on Lumber In
Carloads

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-By specia
permission of the interstate commerce
commission, the Chicago & Eastern II
linois company for itself and for thS
Rock island and Frisco will file with
the commission in a few days one Of
the most remarkable freight tarifs
ever constructed by an interstate car
rier.
The proposed tariff will be a compila-
ton Of local, joint and proportona
rates on lumber products in carloads
from various points in the middle wesl
and south to other points in the middle
west and the east and Canada.
For some time the interstate COM
meree commission has had its experts
examining the proofs of the proposed
tariff, and the commission has directed
that the tariff shall contain the follow
ing note;
simplicity and clearness in tariff con-
struction, and contemplating eventual
statements of rates in specific form, the
interstate commerce commission has by
its special authority of December IL
1908. No. 1860, to Chicago & Eastern
Illinois Railroad company granted tenn
porarily and subject to revocation by
the commission permission to issue
this tariff and to include this rule
therein"
Contained in the tariff is another
note by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
as follows:
In the publication of this tariff It is
the desire of these companies to place
in the hands of their shippers and con-
nections clear and special information
as to the lumber rates, not only from
the gateways from which these compa-
MES operate, but in a special section
to provide rates to particular gateways,
so that the persons using this issue will
have in one tariff complete information
concerning rates from the point of or
igin of the lumber to final destination
Of the consignment"
Cooperation with the shippers is in
vited in the following paragraph in an
address by the carriers:
ITO Our Patrons: 1t has been the
aim to show this information in as
comprehensive a manner as possible,
and in order to perfect 1t in all its de-
tails and maintain this issue on a cor
rect basis we wish to urge upon you
freely to communicate with the under
signed IF c. Reilly, general freight
AGENT, calling attention to any correc-
ton, omission or inconsistency which
may appeal to YOU. In other words,
we invite suggestions or criticisms
which will tend toward making this
tariff most perfect and complete is
sue and one which will in every way
fulfill your requirements"

States navy stands second among those
of the great world powers, according
to the navy year book, prepared by
Pittman Pulsifer, clerk to the serate
navy committee. Germany follows

fourth place and Japan is fifth.
The book will show that Great

United States, thirty-one with a tom
mage of 449, 1875; Germany, thirty-one,
with a tonnage of 414,4s6 France,
twenty-six, with a tonnage of Sb7,1S2.

many, her navy tonnage of both bat
tleships and armored cruisers being
57S,364, while that of Germany is only
548,254. The tonnage of the United
States battleships and armored cruis-
ers is 607.241. That Of Great Britain
is 1,S59,930,
France takes precedence of both the
United States and Germany in the
tonnage of all the vessels in the navy,
including submarines, II torpedo boats
and the like are counted. All told
France has SIC vessels to the credit of
her navy, their total tonnage being
s01.1ss.

VENEZUELA TO BEGIN
TO SETTLE DISPUTES
Jose de Paul to Open Neeotiations~for
Ending the Southern Republics
Troubles with Holland
and France

THE HAGUE, Dec. 24.-The foreign
office has been advised that Jose de
Paul, until recently Venezuelan minis
ter of foreign affairs, left La Guaira.
today for Paris and The Hague ON a
special mission for the new Venezuelan
government to open negotiations for
the settlement of disputes between
Venezuela, France and Holland.
1t was learned at the foreign office
today that the enforcing of previous
orders prohibiting the expectation of
arms and ammunition from Curacao to
Venezuela depends upon the successful
enforcement of matters now in dispute
between Caracas and The Hague, and
that the recall of the Dutch warships
from Venezuelan waters hangs on the
outcome of displomatic negotiations re-
garding the future course between Hol-
land and Venezuela.
Holland removed the restriction
against the sending out of arms during
her troubles with Venezuela, and it
was generally understood the NUM-
tions of war which it would transport
were for the use of Venezuelan insurg-
ents.
Foreign Minister Van Swinderin has
received numerous congratulatory mes
sages from home and abroad on his
successful handling of the Venezuelan
dispute.

Justice Wright against the officers OF
the American Federation of Labor in
the contempt proceedings growing out
of the suit of the Buck Stove and

said Mr.. Parker, provides in effect
that every citizen may freely speak,

STATE WINS BOTH CASES
FOR RAILROAD BACK TAXES
State Supreme Court of Wisconsin
Finds Against C. G. w. and G. N.
Sum Involved Is About
$4,000 Yearly

ST. PAUL, Dec. 24.-The state won a
double victory in the supreme courl
today when that tribunal announced
decisions in its favor in both the Chi
cago Greatwestern and Great North
ern railroad tax cases.
The court upholds the validity of the
increase of railroad gross earnings tax
from to 4 per cent, which the roads
attacked as unconstitutional.
Attorney General e. It. Young per
sonally fought the railroads contention
that they could not be made to pay a
gross earnings tax larger than the
per cent which was provided for In
their territorial charter. The Great
Northern case nominally involves $780,
1877 for 1905 taxes. The Great Western
case involves about $4,000.
The amount at stake to the state
treasury, however, is really more than
$4,000 a year, If the decision is sus-
tanned by the United States supreme
court.

Canadian Gives Views
Alphonse Vervalle, NJ. P. of Montreal
president of the Dominion Trades and
Labor congress, says: THE sentencing
of Gompers and his associates TO prison
for boycott could not have happened
under the laws of Canada, not petause
our laws are less stringent than those
of the United States, but because our
judiciary has a wider conception OF
equity, due to our sense of British 1alr
play"
w. S. Carter of Peoria, Ill, grand
master-elect of the Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen. said:
''The animus of the court probably Is
reflected in the intemperance of its
language. If Mr.. Gompers were In need
of a, vindieatlon for his position during
the recent political campaign, this jul
dicial censure of men guilty of no
crime. proves the justification of his
position"
Robert Mckee, secretary of
the Stationary Engineers union, said;
II think the decision is travesty on
justice. These men are guilty or no
crime whatever. They have been sim
ply exercising the rights of free
speech.
while at the present time there is
much controversy and unrest, still
think the decision of this court will dc
much to awaken and arouse the best
thought of the American people to the
end that the pernicious system in some
of our courts with which we have to
contend will be obliterated.'

and so the courts have held time and
again. 1t would seem to follow that a
decree of a court offending against the
constitution need not be obeyed, be-
cause it is wholly and completely void

be guilty of the absurdity of holding
that unconstitutional enactment by the
law-making department of the govern
ment may be defied by the humblest
citizen with impunity because abso-
lutely void, but that, on the other hand.
a decree of the Judicial department
equal in offending against the constitu-
ton, has such force and vitality as to
support Imprisonment of him who,
standing on his constitutional rights,
dares to violate it,"
