q relic Of barbarism that should not
be tolerated in a civilized country.
The Cicilian brigands hold the prin-
cipal that 1t is more honorable to
revenge an injury by assassination
than to resort to the courts. The
American, juryman who permits the
doctrine of the .sunwritten law" to
sway his verdict is putting himself
on the moral plane of the Sicilian
brigand.
The Republic iron and steel com
pany of Pittsburg posted notices the
first of the week that on July / all
its mills would be conducted on the
open shop plan, thus adding its force
to that of the Steel Corporation,
which had announced a similar pol.
icy to go into operation on the same
date in its American Tin Plate Com.
painy plant. Neither company
would again have formal relations
as to wage scale with the Amalga-
mated Association. The men in the
various plants of the TRUST and the
independent company were prepar.
ing to strike, although a certain pro-
portion of them had opposed this &C
ton, contending that there had been
so much idleness in the last two
years that they were in debt and
could not afford to be again idle
now. The majority prevailed and an
order issued by President McArdle
of the Amalgamated Association
compelled no less than 10000 en-
ployes Of the American Tin, Plate
Company to quit their jobs at ~
O'clock midnight of June 80, Wednes.

companies have quite generally sign
ed the scale with the association.

pany was begun Tuesday, when the
former organization ordered a strike
to enforce its demand forN recogni-

members had BEEN won over to the
American organization. The COM

Rapid City is to be congratulated

Rapid City is to he congratulated
that a hospital is about to be estab-
lished within its borders. While the
enterprise is of s%emi-private nature,
the institution is open to all and de-
serves the consideration of everyone
who may need of its service. The
physicians who are at the head of
the institution are skilled in their
profession, and have the universal re-
spect of the people of Rapid City.
A well-equipped hospital such as this
promises to be has been a long felt
want here, and its success assured.
The selection of the Crouch house
was a wise and happy one, for in all
Rapid City there is no better location
and no better constructed house for
the purpose to which it is to be put.

Standard Oil Decision Contin-

COPPER GROUP AFFECTED
Great Consolidation Project May be
Abandoned Pending Final Settle

(Ry Associated Prees.1

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.--The decis
ion against the legality OF the Stan
dard Oil Company in its present form
continued the disturbing influence il
the stock market today. II was most
acutely manifest in the group OF cop
per industrials.
The reason fer this was not that
those companies are particularly vul-
nerable to the effect of the decision
in their present form, hut that an
animated and sharp advances In prices
of those stocks have taken place
based on the assumption of a coming
consolidation Of the copper producers
on much the same lines as arc pro
hibited by the courts decision in
Standard Oil eases.
To-day. however, assertion were cur
rent that the abandonment of the
whole project was being considered
pending the final clearing up of the
questions involved by tne appeal OF
The Standard Oil case to the highest
court.
Eminent corporation lawyers and in
fluential financial leaders seem unit
ed in Formulating the view that the
consequences Of the Standard Oil de
cisiOn would be SO dangerous and sc
harmful that steps win be taken By
the law making body to obviate them
upon its assembling in December
