/ MY Dear Sir My duties In the sem
4 ate have 80 multiplied that I find II
4 necessary to retire entirely from the
4 practise OF the law. have not taken
| any new employment for more than
4 two years past Ii ~
On this account as well as because
OF my relations to the public service 4
cannot accept retainer In the con
4 tingency named. as j would be glad to
| do if 1t were otherwise. So
800. Assuring you of the proper appre-
citation for the compliment Involved In
the INJURY you make Ell remain, Very
truly yours, u. B. FORAKER .ff
For weeks prior to the date OF. these
| letters, the newspa pers were filed With
/ announcements threatening the com
with criminal prosecutions In the courts
| sof Ohio. 1t was In view of these
Threatened proceedings that the COM
| pany again sought to employ me; sure
! ly an idle and unnecessary perform
ance if already employed. and v these
such employment, among other rea-
sons, because could not accept the
same consistently with my relations
to the public service. The condit Ions
had greatly changed since my former
employment, largely because of the
PRESCRIPTIONS against the company
under the Elkins law, which had
shelped to frame; furthermore, the EN-
ployment proposed was different in Its
character from that which l had pre-
viously accepted. That Is to say, In
stead of being an employment 81 ne
former employment was, to aid the
company in complying with the orders
of the courts, and the statutes of the
state, twas to be an enlplo yirient TO
resist suits and prosecu tons Instituted
by the state. e
n submit that these proofs should
be sufficient to show to any fair and
unprecedented mind that was never
employed except prior to sol, and
that my einpl oyn,ent then n lad no re-,
Iation to anything that was IN conf
with my duties, but had reference
solely to he re-orga nization Of the g
company and its Ohio affairs with.
which Congress had nothing whatever

Dear Senator gain my dear sen
IA tor, i venture to write you a Word re- re-
garding the bill introduced. by senator 9,
Jones, of Arkansas, known as = e II
49, Intended to amend the act 70 pro-
gtent5 trade and commerce against uli-S
lawful restraints and moncpolles M
Produced by him. 1T really seems as
though this Is very unnecessarily Sc
we're and even vicious. Is II not m ven !.
better to test the application or 5th s

measure Of this kind? 4 hope you VIII ~

the subject With kind regards, Very,
