Injunction Modified

washington ~ VI, SaatOn IL
The District Court Of Appeals this
morning banded down an opinion on
the appeal of the officers Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in the famous
Buck S.ove and Range case.
This opinion will affect the question
Of the presidents right to Ego after"
the stove company imprint, and may
permit 1t to refer to that company IS IN
fair. aud which finally may result in
some modification of the sentences for
contempt passed by Judge Wright upon
Samuel GJmpers, John Mitchell, and
Frank Morrison.
The decision of this morning was
given upon the appeal Of the Federation
from tue Injunction granted by Judge
A. NJ. Gould several months ago.
By Judge Gould's decision the Fede-
ration of Labor was eDjoined from pub
fishing the name of the stove company
in the "We don't patroDizs llst'' 10 the
Fedtrationist. The Federation appealed,
and the Court Of Appeals this morning
modified Judge Gould's original iujuuc.
ton.
The decision of Judge Wright wss
made upon contempt proceedins brought
by the stove company for violation Of
Judge Gould's Injunction. Gompers,
Mitchell aud Morrison we're sentenced
to jail.
While there is an appeal from this de-
cisioD, 1t was not affected by the action
Of the Court Of Appeals this morning.
1t is believed, however, that the ac-
ton of the Court of Appeals may effect
the decision in the case of the appeal
upon the contempt sentences.

Dear Sir AS your business is to get peO-
pie into and out of trouble, suppose you Coz
slider their paint: il makes 'em almost a.
much trouble as money, except Of course
matrimOny.
They buy poor paint good deal; they
don't mean to: they don't know any better;
they buy without thinking. Bad paint isn't
good. 1t looks good enough for year; then
begins to get rusty; but changes so slowly,
ore don't notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business Of paint is
to keep a house dry inside, the wood and iron
If it; Keep it from rotting and rusting. Takes
good paint tc do it,
Good aud bad paint are sold at one price or
about that. Ono oan't so by tho price Ht~llj
as with lawyers, the price has nothing to do
with odness or badness; and costs are worse

THURSDAY EVENING. MAR. II, 1909.

JUDGE ANDERSON, in the District
Court 10 Chicago, yesterday, virtually
sounded the death knell to the Elkins
law. as was stated in the Gazette OF that
day, when he instructed the jury to hoo
the Standard Oil Company not guilty Of
Relating. This WAS the same case ID
which Judge X. NJ. Lands imposed his
famous 1929, 24O, 900 fine, and which was
sept back by the Court OF Appeals for
ralrial. Contention of the defense tba'
the generally accepted rate Of Is cents
from Whiting, Iud,, to East st Louis,
ILL.,. had not been published, and that 1t
made no difference if the Standard only
rald 6 cents, was sustained by Judge
Anderson. A fortnight ago he ruled
that eyen.ii the oil corporation was founo
Ou;lty it could only be fned $3.50, 600
instead Of 500 100000, the original
amount assessed. The court contended
that there could not be foe for every
shIpmeut. bat held that the payment Of
a freight bill meant a unit, nOt"ith-
standing the period between shipments
BIT the court yesterday didn't give the
iury q chance to decide on guilt; he TOOK
~
the case away bodily. The question
of whether or not the celebrated
case should be continued hinged
nm the introduction IS evidence of tariff
"A in its application to the Illinois CLASH
fcation issued in 1899, making a rate Of
IS cents on oil from Whiting, lnd., tc
East st. Louis, and which the defense
commended had been superseded by ?
later classification. Judge Anderson, in
q flteen-minute discussion Of the case t.
the Jury, explained bis position and an
nounced that if the case WAS to 90 to the
Jury and a verdict Of guilty was returned
he could do nothing bat set aside the
verdict. Thus endelh the famous $29,-
, 24O, 900 foe, The biggest of Mr. Roose'
velPs many big farces, and with Mr.
Roosevelt and the big stick but six day

EN- pIsry prosecution ever attempted by
the government and the greatest test Of
the power of the Roosevelt adminisira-
ton In its widely.heIalded crusade
against Illegal combinations of wealth,
and yesterdays verdict proved 1t an at
solute failure. 1t is the opinion of the
federal attorneys that Judge Anderson's
ruling will invalidale class tariffs AND
will make it impossible to convict &
shipper for violations of class tariff reg
