OPPOSITION FAILS.
United Fruit Company Fights Johnston
Resolution.

Mobile April efforts to have the
Chamber of Commerce and Commercial
club of this city to take action request
ing Senator Joseph Johnston of Alabama
to go slow in the matter of his resolu-
ton asking an investigation of the United
Fruit company, failed here this after
noon.
Representatives of the United Fruit
company appeared at a directors meet
ing of both clubs headed by Vice Presi-
dent E. L. Russell of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad company, and urged the
members to request the withdrawal of
the resolution, as the case of the Amer
lean Banana company was in the United
States supreme court, and to await until
a decision was reached. Opposition ap-
peared in the shape of the Mobile cap
italists and the movement was killed.

SENATOR JOHNSTON
ON TRAIL OF TRUST
Aabaman Declares Not To Be Deferred From Doing His
Plain Duty Demanding Investigation of United Fruit
Company and Proposes To Give the Company
Fair Chance in It's Own Defense.

The decision of the court in New York
was not on the merits of the case, but
went off on the ground that the alleged
unlawful and unwarranted acts AMI seiz-
ure of the property of Alabama citi-
zens In Central America was made by
the Costa Rican government after it had
required a bond of indemnity from the
fruit company before consenting to the
act, and that court of the United States
could not pass on the act of an indie
pendent nation.
If this be true it would leave the COM
plainants at the mercy of any corporation
that could shield itself behind the skirts
of some petty foreign state, unless Con-
gress should take some action. The SEN
ator intends to give the United Fruit
company a fair chance to be heard be-
fore the committee. w. ).
