WANTS LAW PASSED
PROHIBITING LIENS
Or other Encumbrances on Growing
Crops in State-Says Custom Has
Been Strongest Factor in Retarding
States Growth.

Special 10 the Mems.
Jackson, Nov. 10.-That Mississippi
should enact a law declaring invalid
mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, and
encumbrances of every character,
given on growing crops, is the decla-
ration of Hon. R. n. Miller, of Hazel
hurst, one of the foremost members of
the bar in the commonwealth.
"Such a law would effectually abol.
ish the credit system among our farm
ers, especially negro tenants, and
that is an end devoutly to be desired" !"
declares Mr.. Miller.
The credit system is the curse of
our commonwealth. Our farming
class can never be permanently pros
porous as long as it prevails, and,
while it may seem that the remedy
| propose is a radical one, | believe
it would have a salutary effect.
The giving of mortgages on grow
ing crops is peculiar to the South,
and has been the strongest factor in
retarding our material development
The farmer who is kept constantly
under the thumb of the supply mer-
chant has little incentive to bestir
himself, and | am firmly convinced
that if we will abolish it the State
will prosper within the next few years
as it has never prospered before.

Jackson, Nov. 1O.-The entire day

mulgated by the Railroad Commission
of Mississippi in September, to become
effective on October Sth, and later en-
Joined by the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley, Illinois Central and New Or
leans and Great Northern Railroads
on the ground that the rates were un-

and confiscatory in their very nature,
being little more than half the rates
originally charged.
The efforts of the Railroad Commits
son, as represented by Attorney-Ger-
eral Stirling and Hon. c. H. Alex
ander, have been to have the injunc-
tion dissolved by Judge Niles, and
this has met with a stubborn resist
ance on the part of the attorneys

Decisions AFFECT
FUNDAMENTAL rights
Vigorous Denuncation Of the Use of
Labor njunctions-lnsist That All
Men Shall Have Right of Trial BY
Jury.
Bu Associated Press.

Toronto, Nov. 1O.-If President
Samuel Gompers, Vice-President John
Mitchell, and Secretary Frank Morri-
son. of the t.merican Federation of
Labor. eventually have to serve Jail
sentences for contempt of court, it will
not be due to lack of support from
trade unionism The executive council
of the federation recommended to the
annual convention late yesterday that
an appeal be taken to the United
States Supreme Court both in the
Buck Stove ard Range Company's in
junction case and in the contempt
proceedings growing out of it. That
the convention will ratify the recon-
mendation seems cetrain, and that the
three leaders and their fellow-officers
will be reelected for another year is
predicted.
\ vigorous denunciation of the use
of labor iniunctons and of the denial
of trial by jury was embodied in the
councils report today.
The report says in part:
I'VE cannot permit these decisions
to go unchallenged They affect
fundamental rights, and either the
courts or Congress must safeguard
them.
I'VE again enter our protest against
the application of the writ of unjunc-
tion in labor disputes (unless where
an Injunction would lie if there were
no labor disputes).
\ Denied Trial BY Jury.
1T should be borne in mind that in
these proceedings Messrs. Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison did not have
tbe constitutional right of trial by jury.
All the circumstances in this case go
tn prove that conviction would NOT
have followed if the case had been
submitted on its merits to a jury of
their peers.
whatever differences of opinion
NAV exist among them as to any con-
troyersy between labor and capital
no good citizen of our country who
treasures freedom can rest secure un-
III trial by jury becomes so well
recognized and so firmly established
in our legal Jurisprudence that no man
will ever again attempt to deny this
essential and historic right"
