SUGAR TRUST MUST PAY.

Washington, D. G. = Efforts to re-
cover all moneys due and to punish
the persons involved in the sugar
frauds at New York are to be vigor-
ously pushed, according to Attorney
General Wickersham, whose annual
report is before congress. The evil
dence, he says, has disclosed a net
work of corruption, not confined to
the American Sugar Refining company
and extending over period of years,
affecting both importers and officers
of the government. He asks for a
special Appropriation of $4,000 so that
the prosecutions may effectively pro-
coed.
An important announcement is that
questions not determined by the su-
preme court in what are known as the
commodities clause cases" arising
under the law relating to interstate
commerce are to be presented here
after for judicial determination.
In the public land frauds prosecu-
tons the attorney general makes it
clear that he is determined in no re-
spect to abate the effort to success
fully conclude them.
Recommendation is made for a gen.
eral immunity statute to meet the con-
dftions which arise in the endeayor
to procure testimony for the govern.

ORGANIZATION WILL GIVE
SUPPORT.
CINCINNATI CONFERENCE.
switchmen's Leader JubiIant Over
New Prospects Of suceess-Rall-
road Officials Claim Fair Sup
ply Of Coal on Hand.

Cincinnati, Ohio. - The American
Federation of Labor will support the
railroad switchmen who are on strike
IN the Northwest to the extent of it's
powers.
This announcement was made by
Samuel Gompers, president of the fed
GRAFTON, after an extended conference
with Frank Hawley. president of the
Switchmen's union of North America.
1t is understood to mean that if the
railroad officials do not concede the de-
mands of the strikers the trouble may
spread until it involves other great
union organizations in the railway
field.
I'VE will support the switchmen to
the extent of our ability, both morally
and financially" declared Mr.. Com
pers at the close of his conference
with Mr.. Hawley. The labor leader re-
fused to state whether this meant an
extension of the strike, but he assert
ed that after a full investigation he
was satisfied that the demands of the
strikers were just and reasonable, and
that they merited and would receive
the support of all unions.
HawIey JubiIant.
Mr.. HaWley was jubilant over the
decision of Mr.. Gompers. tie ridiculed
the published assertions of railroad Of
icers that the strike was practically
ended, and exlaimed:
"They cannot beat us now that the
great federation of labor is behind U.S."
According to Mr.. Hawley, a shortage
in the coal supply in the Northwest is
imminent on account of the strike.
He said that the $500 men now out
will stick until their terms are met,
and that, Notwithstanding the business
men of the Northwest are suffering
.oss through the strike, their sympathy
Is with the switchmen.
Added significance to the conference
was lent when j. ]. Dermody, one TO
the vice presidents of the National
Order of Railway Telegraphers, enter
ed the room where the conference was
going on.
This would indicate that there is a
movement to bring the railway tele-
graphers into a general strike, if they
should be needed. Those attending
the conference, it was authoritatively
stated by one of the conferees, who
was delegated by President Gompers
to act as spokesman, constitute a
general committee to review the whole
railway situation.
st. Paul, Dec. 11.-Business at the
Minnesota Transfer is a good indica.
ton OF the amount of freight being
handled by the various railroads enter
ing the Twin Cities, declare officials.
Supt. Dooley reported receiving CSC
cars in the past "a hours. The normal
is about 600. "a little better than
half" said Mr.. Dooley, $50 you see
the roads are beginning to get busy"
Nine engines were at work in the
Transfer Friday while 81 men reported
for duty in the morning. This is above
the normal force.

WANTS 10 CURB ROADS
IOWA SENATOR INTRODUCES A
BILL RADICALLY CHANGING
INTERSTATE ACT.
Uniform Classification Of Freight 10
Chief Demand In the Measure
Elklns Also Has
Bill.

Washington, d. CA controvers.
Of railroad legislation will be precipi
tated in congress this winter which il
intensity of interest and gravity of i'm
portance promises to surpass the legis
lative conflict ocer railroad rates -four
years ago. The first gun was fred by
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, introduc
ing bill proposing radical changes in
the interstate commerce act.
In large sense the Cummins meas
ure is a practical substitute for the
present Interstate commerce act. II
is expected that measure proposing
amendments to the existing law will
be introduced early in January by
Senator Elkins, which will differ from
the Cummins bill in many important
details. In brief the Cummins bill
requires the interstate commerce com
mission to promulgate a uniform elias.
sifcation Of freight and to prepare a
plain for the statement of freight rates
which shall hereafter be made in a
uniform way. The carriers are requir,
ed to adopt this classification.
The commission is authorized t.
consider rates on its own motion with
view to determining their reason.
ableness, and is empowered to fix
minimum and maximum rates.
In any action instituted in court to
set aside an order of the commission
respecting rates, the courts are pre-.
vented from inquiring into the rea.
sonableness or sufficiency of any rate
fixed by the commission.
The bill provides that changes il
rates shall not become effective until
they are approved by the commission.
Acquisition of control of any parallel
competing line is prohibited and SO is
acquiring the capital stock or bonds
of any other carrier that is a com.
petitor. By the terms of the bill a
carrier is prohibited from issuing. any
capital stock without payment at par
either in money or in property.
In effet the commission shall have
supervision of the issues of stocks
and bonds by any carrier. Specific di.
rections are given for the disposition
of the proceeds of any sale of bonds.
After Jan. 1, 1911, no carrier doing
interstate business shall be permitted
to engage in any other business than
that of common carrier.

WAR DEPT. HIT BY STRIKE.
Transport Dix Waits at Seattle For
Philippine Supplies.

Philippine Supplies.
Washington, D. c. - The situation
in the Northwest is becoming en-
barrassing to the war department, and
as result the United States attorney
at Seattle has been conferred with
by army officers with a view to OBJ
tanning relief. By reason of this strike
the government transport Dix, which
was scheduled to sail from Seattle to
Manila last Tuesday, stands about
three-fourths loaded with forage and
animals for the army in the Philip
pines Thus the army has been placed
in an awkward position not only as
to needed supplies for the Philippine
army, but also because of the fact
that the Dix is greatly needed at
Manila not later than Jan. 10 for the
transportation Of troops and animals
in connection with the maneuvers on
the island of Luzon.
Many cars loaded with government
supplies are now side-tracked in the
Seattle yards and while some little
progress is being made in the way of
unloading, yet the situation is J.
together unsatisfactory. United States
Quartermaster Miller at that port has
applied to the United States attorney
for assistance in getting army supplies
aboard and enabling the transport to
meet engagements at Manila in Janu.
ary.
Whether the government will take
more energetic steps to obtain relief
